Looks like USM has given up on Stony Brook. So we're looking for a series/tournament in December. Not exactly ideal.

2018 CB Newspaper poll released. Typically not the most accurate of the preseason polls, but it gives us something to talk about.

http://baseballnews.com/collegiate-baseb...-12-19-17/

Southern Miss #25 (they have overrated us a little IMO)
Rice RV
FAU RV
Old Dominion RV
Charlotte RV

CB is a joke of a poll, and always has been. They put way too much weight on previous year results, and does very little, if any, actual research (i.e., talking to coaches during Fall Ball). They ALWAYS rank Rice lower than any of the other polls. Having said that, I expect Rice to be preseason ranked somewhere in the 30 - 40 range, though I think we have the potential to be MUCH better than that. Our pitching, in particular, should be vastly improved from last year, especially if Salinas returns healthy and back in form. Offense should be just fine with Proctor, DiCaprio, Chandler, Dunlap and Gneiting all returning, to go along with several very talented newcomers (Aviles, Cruz, Comeaux). It will be nice to be flying under the radar for a change, especially with such a young team.

I know USM returns several standouts led by Wallner and Sedlin (?), but didn't you lose your entire weekend rotation, as well as half your lineup?

Burdeaux and Braley are the two big offensive contributors we lost. Everyone else in our usual lineup returns. You also have new guys like Luke Reynolds (Mississippi State transfer) and Fred Franklin (JUCO transfer) that are talented players. We won’t hit as many HRs, but we’ll score plenty of runs and this will likely be the best offense in the league again.

Pitching is a concern. The losses of McCarty, Braley, and Roberts are huge. I think we definitely made an upgrade with our new pitching coach, and we’ll see if that makes a difference in 2018. We may be OK if some of our young guys develop like they are supposed to. Also, if we can get Wallner on the mound as a starter (which is what the staff wants to do), that could be huge. He didn’t pitch this fall as they’re trying to get his hip healthy for the spring.

Tough not to think about what this team would be like if McCarty, Braley, and Roberts stayed. Maybe I’m crazy, but I think USM is a 27-3/28-2 team in CUSA with those guys back. A McCarty/Wallner/Braley rotation with our offense would have been unstoppable.

Your offense is always potent, but I think ours will be as good if not better than last year-- even with the departures of Myers, Gray, Shepperd and Wunderlich. If this Fall is any indication, Chandler is back to his Freshman year form, and Dunlap should be our starting DH from the get-go vs. last year when he didn't enter the lineup until the second half of the season. Chandler, Dunlap, Proctor, DiCaprio and Gneiting should all hit over .300, and I expect big things from our newcomers. 2B Trei Cruz (son of Jose Cruz, Jr, grandson of Jose Cruz and nephew of Enrique Cruz) hit .320 in the California League this past summer as an incoming Freshman. 3B Comeaux is a TCU transfer. Again, i think our big improvement will be on the mound. Last year we had no depth, especially with the injuries to Salinas, Petitte and Parthasarathy (all out all year) and Otto (pitched the first half with a sore shoulder). We relied on 5 guys who were seeing their first D1 action (Canterino, Jefferies, Moss, Garcia, Silber). Canterino, Jefferies and Moss were all lights out this Fall...Salinas is on schedule to be ready for Spring intrasquads...and we've added 3 newcomers who impressed this Fall.

That tournament is organized by a guy who used to work in the Rice athletics department and spun off his own company. Nice to see it drawings some good teams.

USM released the schedule (finally!). Still waiting to see which teams (3 of SFA, Bradley, South Dakota State, and UT-Arlington) we will face in Nacogdoches from Feb 23-25.

Overall, I like Florida Atlantic's OOC schedule; all are ranked in the top 110 (according to the last Massey's composite) besides our first 3 games against George Washington. And our next game after that is against Florida, which would be a great win for us! 03-thumbsup

The Stony Brook situation has USM doing something it probably hasn't had to do in decades......play a 9 game road swing BEFORE CUSA play begins....Granted we are not the first to do this as well as northern teams do this all the time.

2011 - 8 (4 stops - Orlando → Pearl → Memphis → Pearl)
2010 - 8 (5 stops - Monroe → Ruston → Pearl → Birmingham → Mobile)
2008 - 8 (4 stops - Lafayette → Oxford → Fullerton → New Orleans)
2004 - 8 (4 stops - Oxford → New Orleans → Jackson → Birmingham)
2015 - 7 (3 stops - Pensacola → Troy → Mobile)
2014 - 7 (4 stops - New Orleans → Ruston → Pearl → Houston)
2005 - 7 (3 stops - Starkville → Louisville → Jackson)
1999 - 7 (3 stops - Jackson → Memphis → Tampa)
