USF women’s basketball announced their 2018-2019 non-conference games Monday afternoon and it features visits to Ohio State and LSU, as well as a trip to the US Virgin Islands to face Kentucky, UNC, and UCLA in the Paradise Jam.
The Bulls will face seven teams that made the NCAA tournament in non-conference play: Ohio State, Oklahoma, UCLA, Grambling State, Creigton, Virginia, and LSU. They will also face three other teams that ranked in the RPI Top-100: Albany and the aforementioned UNC and UCLA.
“We are committed to playing the best competition out there and testing our team early in the season as we build toward conference play and the postseason,” USF head coach Jose Fernandez said. “Challenging our team early has worked very well for us and our 2018-19 non-conference schedule will provide a number of opportunities to see where we are and get better prior to the start of conference play.”
Hopefully Fernandez will have full use of his roster against Oklahoma unlike last season when a snafu in registrar’s office prevented Alyssa Rader from competing in the game.
USF went 26-8 last season, their sixth-straight 20-win season under Fernandez and fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

The Rays should let Shane be an “Opener”.

MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers have acquired infielder Brad Miller and cash from the Tampa Bay Rays for first baseman/outfielder Ji-Man Choi.
The NL Central-leading Brewers made the deal Sunday and assigned Miller to Triple-A Colorado Springs. He was cut by Tampa Bay on Thursday.
The 28-year-old Miller was hitting .256 with five home runs and 21 RBIs in 48 games for the Rays. Mostly a shortstop, he has started at every position in the majors except catcher and pitcher.

That’s good for munch bracket.

That ranks among bottom for our shirts. Is the front playing peek-a-boo?

I get the sheer numbers part, but it's crazy to think Genord's not one of the top 1,200+ draft eligible players. Just look at his numbers vs Alec Bohm from Wichita St, the kid who went #3 overall.
Genord .306BA 16HR 53RBI .633SLGBohm .339BA 16HR 55RBI .625SLG
Not to mention Genord put those numbers up in 10 less games started and 44 less At Bats.
Obviously, I understand there are many other factors that in play, it just perplexes me in this one instance.
Those ten less games makes Bohm's .339 look better too, but Bohm went high because of his defensive abilities as well as his hitting. He will move to first and be much better suited, although some speculate that he could hang in at third in the right situation. A lot more versatile of a player considering that I'm not so sure that Genord is a catcher anymore. Im glad he will return and hopefully be an all conference clean up hitter again for us.

Sheer numbers id imagine have the most to do with it. A lot of colleges have baseball programs that can produce MLB talent and High schools are also in the mix. A few picks in the later rounds are favors as well and might not be so much about the scouting report, as those picks aren't really expected to sign anyway. Plus with guys like Genord, you can draft next year and pay him less because he wont have any leverage.

I agree, but that's why Mohl was hired, right? It's on him.
That it is, I do believe there is talent in the young arms though. They certainly could surprise us.

Missed that, thanks!
AND Wichita St just had their 8TH player drafted...not sure if thats a lot, doubt it compared to the big boys but it seems like a lot and its the most in the AAC
WSU came in second with 11 players drafted, Beaten only by Kentucky's 13.

" C-USA teams will play 14 league games, then divide into tiers. The top five teams will play each other for the final four games of the season. The middle five teams will play amongst themselves, and so will the bottom four teams.
The Sun Belt announced its non-conference schedules will include two dates (one home, one away) "to play against peer conference opponents."
The league didn't specify what those peer conferences are, but it doesn't matter for these purposes. In football, the AAC's peer conferences would be the other Group of Five leagues.
The Sun Belt didn't say much else, other than calling it a "first step for improving non-conference scheduling." The logical way to interpret that: Have your top teams play the top teams from comparable leagues.
Now we're getting somewhere. Set aside a weekend in November for flex non-conference football games. Use the standings through the first two months as a rough guide, and pick the matchups accordingly based on whatever criteria you want. Last year, that could have meant UCF and USF playing teams like Boise State, Florida Atlantic or Troy. It's a lot like the bracket busters idea proposed by SB Nation's Bill Connelly.
Again, there's no guarantee that another top-40 win would have put the Knights in the playoff, but it would help. It'd make sense for the other leagues, too; last year UCF was in contention, but this year it might be Boise or Lane Kiffin's Owls.
The plans aren't perfect, and they pose logistical challenges in football that are easier to solve in basketball. But if USF and UCF want to boost their schedules, they need to get creative — like C-USA and the Sun Belt."

I still think pitching is going to be the big thing to worry about.

Zech, Chatfield, Genord,
This could be the heart of our order next season. Not necessarily in this order.

Well the one above isnt going to work unless Phillips figures out how to move within the timespace continuum and if that happens baseball will probably be the least of our interests.

31. Tampa Bay Rays: LHP Shane McClanahan, University of South Florida (Compensation for Alex Cobb, who signed with the Orioles. Baltimore forfeited its second-round pick.)
Tampa Bay has to be thrilled with both of its first rounders so far, getting two premium left-handers in Liberatore and McClanahan. McClanahan can hit 100 mph and back up his heat with a plus changeup, though his slider and command need some work. He was better earlier in the season than late, which caused him to fall much further than expected.https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-draft-pick-by-pick-selections-analysis/c-279712486

Dontari Poe's free-agent departure created a 346-pound void in the middle of the Atlanta Falcons defense.
However, general manager Thomas Dimitroff waited until the third round to select a defensive tackle, Deadrin Senat, after addressing other needs at WR and CB in Rounds 1 and 2, respectively.
The Falcons did sign Terrell McClain in mid-May, but Senat is the run-stuffer ideally suited to play alongside Grady Jarrett. According to Pro Football Focus, the South Florida product led all NCAA defensive tackles last season in run-stop percentage from Week 5 on. Senat also finished third among the class' interior defenders with 37 defensive stops.
At 6'0" and 314 pounds, the first-year defender has a different body type than Poe, whose athleticism is rare for a nose tackle. However, the job remains the same, and Senat's first-step quickness and natural leverage give interior blockers fits.

What’s the reason for him to be just now signing?

He's the best. We had him come out and run a practice of ours every year and then later speak to the parents. He hated seeing kids wearing their hats backwards. It was a big time thing with him to see a kid ******* around with their hat like that and goofing off before a game.
Totally agree, I have heard him speak the last couple of years at the FACA clinic. Every potential prospect would benefit from hearing what he has to say. He's pretty **** funny too.

being able to throw strikes is sort of a big deal. Life doesn't get any easier in the pros, so if you're struggling to produce in college, you're going to struggle a hell of a lot more in the pros no matter how much "talent" you have.
I agree here. He comes with baggage.

Under the radar indeed, I had to cross reference a few sites to make sure I had the right guy in Hudl.
