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?

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

Hmm? I'll leave it alone.

I would hope that two OF spots are open. I'll go further to say that I hope that 1B, 2B and 3B be up for grabs also.
It appears that Thornhill has a tough time reading the ball out there. Maybe a shot at one of the corner IF spots would be better fit.
Griggs is solid as a defender but maybe Dawson will be better out there and offensively.
I love Quinn's athleticism but the ground ball is not her friend. I think a line-up of Bell at 2B and SJ at 3B would have been better personally. How would Quinn be in OF? She is athletic and makes the hard plays.

Eta...never mind. No sense is a pissing contest.
LA travel ball isn't nearly as competitive as it is in Cali or TX, for example. Coaches in LA have for years been able to recruit talent and win games and be labeled as great coaches in TB. Beth has said that coaches in LA don't teach fundamentals. And she is right for the overwhelming majority. As least as it is in relation to many other more competitive states. And that's a big reason why she recruits out of state so much.
As far as Nicky's best attribute being her speed....that's like saying Tyson's best attribute was his uppercut. Take away his uppercut and he'd still beat the shite out of every one of us.
