re: Softball Recruiting Update

I used to be a coach after my playing days were over. I had enough crappy coaches to know that if I ever became a coach, I would play as many players as I could withouth throwing the game away.

Sometimes a coach needs to try and play her reserve players like in midweek games or games that we have a big lead in.

All players need to get some experience sitting out a game. Serret has played every single inning I believe since she got here... Landry and Griggs, Jaquish.. a lot of them could have come out in a late inning and reserves sent to play.

Not counting the pinch runners, LSU uses about the fewest number of players in a game, in comparison to other teams.

As for the new recruits coming in, you have to remember Beth is probably going to lean toward the upperclassman in competition for a position. Andrews and Griggs will definitely start, so will Doyle, Springfield, Sanchez and Serret. We have an opening for a catcher, a DP, and a right fielder. The DP is most likely going to be Dawson, and if it was me, I'd have her and Sanchez alternate for 2nd base and DP.

If my guesses are right, and Cunningham becomes the catcher, we will only have one Freshman starter next year, and that is a “maybe”.

I know nothing about recruting, and appreciate Tigerbait's efforts and time spent on keeping us informed, or, “wellinformed”.

If I have time tomorrow I will redo the thread I started about the loss of seniors and just leave it at that. If yall wanna come post about recruits, fine. I had ulnar nerve release surgery at the elbow, they grinded my bone down, and I am in a bit of pain, typing with one finger.
