Oh man... stay healthy, avoid ppl leaving in the portal and personally I think we should be pre season Top 25. The staff is considerably better and doesn't lose a lot and Holderfield comes back. Sinnard, Kraft, Risedorph, Manase, Foley, Phillips, Holderfield is a really nice place to start for any staff. Plus I know we are adding two LHP FR we like and hopefully the kid from MO (Benes) can be a dude day 1. FR on this staff have thrown 135.2 innings at a 4.79ERA. We also have a 6'8 250lbs FR that's RSing and he throws 94. Big ?s 1. Shortstop-- can you fill that in house or portal? 2. Catcher same thing.. (almost sure we have two young ones we like, along with an incoming FR, probably no portal necessary).. 3. Does Whalen come back? (CF) 4. Does Wiggins make it to campus? A lineup with Wiggins, Taylor, Mathison, Pyne, Cerny, and Tibbitts is just unreal. Edited May 21, 2023 by btownqb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, for sure.. we'd be better than him... just, we are one elite-- Sinnard/Kraft/Yoho level arm away from being DAMN good. Colson would make a great offense, even greater. Remember.. Ben Hess went to Bama because Justin Parker took the pitching job at So Carolina (the baseball equivalent to probably Florida in football) And I harp on this because Hess was committed for like 3 years and even signed his LOI... you don't just find or develop arms like that or plan to absorb the loss of that.. I'm staunch on Jeff Mercer and staff.. he's like 34-35 years olds.. he's growing, as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he's from the state too....have a punchers chance to keep if/when some of the bigger programs come calling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slojoe Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 There are many college baseball polls. The end of the season D1 poll has Md. at #23. No other B1G teams in top 25. IU beat Auburn #19 in 1 game of a 3 game series. We hand single losses to East Carolina #15, UK #25, and 3 losses to #23 Md. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor poll on their part. MD sweeping us simply looks like an anomaly on both ends, currently. Sidenote-- we are all big INST fans this weekend.

IUJoe Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Have not updated these for a couple weeks, but with the poll discussion above and the end of the regular season here, I thought I would post an update. Again these computer rankings are similar in formula to the NET or Pomeroy in basketball, so much more predictive than the RPI. Will try to post again before the NCAA Tournament. National Top 25: 1 Wake Forest 2 LSU 3 Virginia 4 Kentucky 5 Alabama 6 South Carolina 7 Florida 8 Tennessee 9 Duke 10 Vanderbilt 11 Clemson 12 Arkansas 13 Oregon St 14 Oklahoma St 15 West Virginia 16 Stanford 17 Texas 18 Virginia Tech 19 Campbell 20 Miami FL 21 North Carolina 22 NC State 23 UC Irvine 24 Iowa 25 Arizona Big Ten: 24 Iowa 41 Indiana 45 Maryland 54 Rutgers 59 Nebraska 69 Michigan St 83 Ohio St 88 Illinois 123 Michigan 130 Penn St 149 Purdue 186 Minnesota 250 Northwestern Edited May 22, 2023 by IUJoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 1st team All FR for Cerny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Tibbitts not being 1st team ahead of Keaton Anthony is laughable. Carter Mathison not at least being 3rd team is pretty funny too. Regardless... we were very well represented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
