I know we lose some key players from this team but our pitching staff next year will be sick and should be able to carry this team until some of the younger players come into their own.

I know its early, but does anyone care to project our opening day lineup in 2017. I can't wait. Coach Torina will be challenged to replace Simmons and Bell and somewhat Kloss....what players are in line to replace these girls. Also, I think our OF needs to be shored up somewhat as well. Can Quinn play LF

I think Kara Goff from Ruston High is also signed with LSU.

Out of state players going to be favored for any spots open

Nicky Dawson, Amanda Doyle, and Cunningham, as well as Springfield will see a lot of time. I see 3 of them being starters by some point next season!

Andrews starts in OF. Thornhill & Springfield compete for 1B. If she can hit like advertised Springfield will be the starter. Dawson & Weinburger will be pinch runners replacing the kids leaving. Doyle might start at 3B. Maybe Connie is moved there. That negates her range though, so I doubt it happens.

Dawson pinch runner?
Do some research...
Before the start of the year, Dawson, an LSU signee and MaxPreps.com preseason All-America selection, had already secured the national runs scored record with 285, according to the National Federation of High Schools. She’s already added 33 more to that total this season.
“This is something unique,” said Dawson, a Class 3A all-state selection and MVP on The Advocate’s Small School’s All-Metro team in 2015. “It’s up there with winning a state title and hopefully we can do that too. It’s something I do cherish. It’s something that’s written down. I understand records are meant to be broken, and maybe I’ll get to hold it and watch somebody else get close or break it.”
“It’s meant a lot to me to be able to coach a kid like her,” Parkview coach Ashlee Weems said. “It’s kind of bittersweet because I’m excited about the year, but I’m hoping it never ends. I know everything good has to come to an end, but I know she’s going to be pretty special at LSU.”
The next likely mark to fall will be career triples. Dawson needs one more to equal the 48 of Lansing (Mich.)-Cathedral Catholic’s Jodi Every (1996-99).
Given her skill set, Dawson seems destined to be able to repeat what is regarded by most baseball/softball observers as the most difficult hit in the game.
Start with Dawson’s natural speed — she’s been timed at 10.7 seconds from home to home — and add to that tremendous bat control and surprising power from a player who stands just 5-foot-7.
“Getting this record is kind of what I’m reaching for,” said Dawson, the Division II state indoor champion in the 60-meter dash at 7.70 seconds. “You don’t just want a double. You want to reach for something that people say is the hardest thing to do. It’s that more exciting.”
Dawson, who is batting .725 with 10 doubles, four homers and 21 RBIs, has the opportunity to become the national all-time leader in steals and push to become the career hits queen.

I've done plenty. Her best attribute is her speed, hands down. That ensures 1 thing, pinch running. Take a look through the roster over the years. Out of state kids play an overwhelming amount of the time. There is the occasional Landry, or the odd inclusion of Thornhill, but year after year, 6+ spots are dominated by out of state kids. They do not accept money to come here and sit the bench. That said maybe Dawson gets the OF spot, but that will still only be 2 Louisiana kids in the lineup unless someone else wins out.
You might be right, guess we'll see.

What position does Dawson project to play in college?
Posted on 6/7/16 at 12:01 pm to SBTigerFan
will savannah have to play 3b 1b or C
Posted on 6/7/16 at 12:17 pm to SBTigerFan
Thornhill at 1B? Dawson pinch runner?
You obviously don't know much about these players...

Nicky Dawson will be a very big attribute offensively. She will likely fill that last OF spot with Griggs and Landry.
Jaquish and Cunningham will get looks at catcher!
Springfield can play anywhere in the infield but is suppose to be our 1B.
Doyle is versatile as well. She can play anywhere in the infield. I see her at 3B. Her bat is vital for us next season so she will be starting somewhere!

Maybe because outside of Bailey the best 7-8 players are from out of state.
