I'm not saying he is a bad pitcher, just that ERA doesn't do much to separate pretenders from contenders in HS.

Preseason had him at 3, but everything i've seen since has him in this range. Braves have a ton of young talent coming up right now. they should be pretty good here in next five years.

I meant to change "after the first batter" to "after the second out" which would make the statement true. I'm just saying there are a lot of High School pitchers who can't break a light bulb on a brick wall with sub 1.50 ERA's, I see this every year. If you look at ERA's for HS pitchers, you're gonna get burned more often than not.

Right but one error might happen after the first batter and then pitcher proceeds to give up four hits and three additional runs. the pitcher still leaves with no earned runs but that doesn't tell the story. In college where E's are less common, ERA is a better stat to look at, but when looking at high school pitchers, you will find a lot bad HS pitchers with good ERAs because its pretty typical for HS to have at least one error per game. I like to look at runs against period, Earned or not, but a lot of people think that's un-fair to the pitcher. I take the approach as your job to get soft contact and get out of innings even when the defense gives up and extra out. this kid only has 7 total Runs against, that pretty fantastic over the course of ten starts. But the number of .010 would suggest that he is a world beater and that's probably not true.

We are defiantly losing a lot after this season.

Fresh off claiming their fourth-straight AAC championship, the USFmen’s golf team will head to Kissimmee as the four-seed in the NCAA Regionals at Reunion Resort’s Watson Course. Led by senior Claudio Correa, who is participating in his third consecutive NCAA tournament as a Bull, who claimed the individual AAC tournament trophy with a three stroke win over teammate Christian DiMarco, will look to get back to the NCAA Championships since 2016 #20 USF Men’s Golf Takes their #SpringOfRings Tour to Kissimmee For NCAA Regional as Four Seed Four golfers are returning with NCAA experience. Top five teams move on. Go Bulls

The picture of his stride makes my elbow hurt. Might want to look at that to get his arm back on time, the picture makes it looks like he puts a ton of torque on it.

K:BB ratio is awesome. The ERA things isn't as crazy as you might think. Errors are pretty common and that gets a lot of HS pitchers off the hook, , his 7 total runs against is pretty good. He clearly throws a ton of strikes, which is half the battle. I haven't seen his name in any of the MLB draft projects

I can't lie, I do love reading about what Lane Kiffin says about virtually anything.

Looks like they project BK under center and EM in the back field. Projecting USF’s 2018 post-spring depth chart Off- Synopsis: In the dead-heat quarterback battle, we're giving the nod to Kean for now. Candidly, we believe Oladokun possesses more physical upside, but we keep going back to how Kean clearly out-performed another presumably superior athlete (Asiantii Woulard) two preseasons ago. Mack had a breakthrough spring, so we're giving him the edge at running back, though we can envision a Mack/Cronkrite tandem similar to D'Ernest Johnson/Darius Tice. The fact neither Trevon Sands nor Jernard Phillips are on this chart illustrates just how deep this team is at running back and receiver, respectively. With Mayes rehabbing a knee all spring, Atterbury logged some reps at left tackle. While we wouldn't be shocked if he stuck there, he's probably most needed at guard at this point. Def-Synopsis: Reaves was rehabbing this spring, but the coaches know what he can do. The Bulls have four incoming freshman tackles, any of whom conceivably could crack this chart in 2018 (not that we see it happening). The competition at second-team corner, a position where the Bulls have stockpiled talent, should remain pretty intense through August. Don't be shocked if early enrollee Antonio Grier (who got dinged up in the spring) shakes things up at linebacker. Of course, the long-awaited breakthrough of Jimmy Bayes could materialize too. ST- Synopsis: Schneider, a juco guy originally from Sydney, Australia, was brought in to replace veteran Jonathan Hernandez. We have no clue what the Bulls are gonna do at kicker. Schneider and a couple of walk-ons took reps in the spring, but none were convincing, at least during the sessions open to reporters.

Sorry didnt see this posted down the in the forum. Mods, can you merge this into that one.

South Florida Florida Atlantic grabs all the Group of Five headlines in the Sunshine State because we love writing (and you love reading) about Lane Kiffin. UCF is coming off an undefeated season. Boise State is the offseason favorite to grab the New Year’s Six bowl slot dedicated to the highest ranked Group of Five champ. But don’t sleep on the Bulls. Yes, they lost quarterback Quinton Flowers, but coach Charlie Strong’s team still has the athletes to play with anyone in the American Athletic Conference. This team pushed UCF to the brink last season, and if it can survive an October visit to Ed Oliver and Houston, it could be in position to win its division when UCF comes to visit in the regular-season finale.

yes, this is true. I got a little mixed up on the saying. I still see it as a hindsight is 20/20 situation. I'm sure CBM gave it to the third base coach because hes paid to make the right call, all the time. But I am also sure CBM said something the Chatfield about needing to make something happen with the bases juiced, he is a middle of the order guy who is expected to drive in runs. If he does that all is well, since he didn't, it all falls back on the coach for not sending the runner. It was just a missed opportunity all the way around. But as i didn't see the play either, it is what it is, hopefully all parties took it as a lesson learned.

That’s true. Getting out of Florida could have a relaxing effect. But I also just don’t see Singer and Kowar losing in one regional or either of them losing twice. So to me they are the hardest 1 to get through. I saw yesterday where the guys at D1 named them as one of his four guarantees to go to Omaha. I would say the same thing about Standford and Oregon State but we don’t have to worry about going west right now.

Little to no difference is right. Half of the people outside of these two fan bases can’t even tell us apart. If that doesn’t scream little to no difference, I don’t know what else does.

This projection has 2 AAC teams hosting ( Uconn, ECU) and three other AAC teams in the dance (USF, UCF, Houston). A sixth is listed is listed in the “last 5 out” (WSU). A potential 6 teams!!

I think no matter what we do. We will need a lot of help to host. I’m satisfied with going to Athens as a 2. Anywhere but Gainesville is a great spot.

There has never been an AAC team that is so much better than the rest of the conference that their fan base can realistically expect and conference title. They don’t just happen.

They still send us to Athens. Only adjustment for us is that Michigan gets added and would be our opening game. https://d1baseball.com/postseason/projected-field-64-may-1/ UCF makes it to Gainesville. Great place for them.

Updated baseball projections from D1 baseball. (link in club) only difference for us is an opening round game against Michigan.

You could never knock that fact that he had a cannon. I saw it first hand, had to protect my face. Not fun at 15 yards.

this doesn't really help this narrative. "There are legitimate questions about whether Mack can be the every-down, between-the-tackles runner the Colts needs, but he should get the first chance to grab the reins." Colts RB Marlon Mack motivated to take 'top dog' role

If two seasons is all it takes to even the score, I don't consider it significant. One good recruiting class could even the score and some. That's just not that significant is the big picture to me. Especially, when in between those two seasons, they went 6-18. Again, I wont make the case that we are clearly superior, to say that are is just as flawed IMO.

UCF is 4-5 in bowls, so the question is, does beating Auburn completely eradicate losing 31-13 to Arkansas state the year before? I don't think it does. You can't use the argument that UCF wasn't pumped up for the game because they were 0-12 the year before and were probably pretty happy to be in a bowl game. In the end I just don't think there is sufficient evidence to suggest that UCF has "passed" us by. Equal ground ok, but us in the rear view mirror? crazy talk.

We played in the same conference all three years. So whats your point? They went 0-12 in the AAC for crying out loud. I'm not the one saying they aren't, the organization they play for is saying it. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/college-football-national-championship-history
