How good will next years team be?



There will definitely be growing pains next year early. We will likely be relying on 3 or 4 true freshman early but these players definitely have the ability to step in and make an immediate impact.

Amanda Doyle is a top 20 player out in California. She has a monster bat. Will likely play 3B, replacing Bell

Nicky Dawson will likely be in the OF with Griggs and Landry. Her speed and power at the plate will make an immediate impact.

Michal Cunningham is an elite player. She plays catcher or anywhere on the infield. Her and Jaquish will get looks at catcher next year. Elite player.

Sydney Springfield plays 1B mainly. Power power power. She can knock a ball out at any moment. Very good player, considered a top 50 player by many softball recruiting analysts.

There definitely will be struggles at times but sometimes fresh blood can be good for a program. This class when its all said and done could be our best class in LSU softball history based off what they produce.

Next year is hard to imagine. We are already below average at 2B and DP and then the thought of losing 3 or our 4 best hitters is scary. Bell, Simmons and Kloss have been absolutely awesome in their careers and I can't see filing those spots with Freshman and being as good as we are this year or last year.

But....2016 is still rolling and we can win it all. Auburn got every imaginable break yesterday from our base running blunders in the first to the two out error that gave them a 4 spot. I'll take our team and our chances.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Griggs' spot will be up in the air. Average defensively and at the plate.
Quinn needs to get out of the infield, also. Serious defensive liability at 2nd.
