I think we have 15 players returning and a Top 15 recruiting class coming in. Florida St., Duke and VA Tech are considered pre-season favorites in the conference. I've only seen one way too early poll for 2025 that did not have us in the Top 25. First preseason polls I believe come out on January 21.

Are you only allowed to coach girls nowadays?

We lost out top 2 pitchers who have pitched virtually every inning in the past few years.
Team underperformed last year and defense and hitting weren't great.
After building the program, looks like this may be a partial rebuild year.

I would agree with this. This will most likely be a major rebuild year.

Who will be our pitchers this year?
I wonder why the staff didn't hire that girl that went to daniel high school who played for lsu.
Her dream was to be at clemson .forgot her name . Think she graduated in 2018.

Jolene Hoover? She played for Rittman at Stanford about 10 years ago before transferring to LSU. Is she coaching now?

I know Valerie left which took away our #1 overall player, who's coming back or new that could be our next star? Any chance of us making any noise in the ACC?

Probably a 500 season overall would be a reasonable expectation. We have a tough opening to the seaon out of conference. Also don’t forget Stanford is now in the conference. I attended one fall ball game against North Greenville. The freshman that played SS made some nice plays. Good reaction times and aggressive getting to the ball. I think after several seasons Rittman finally has a true SS. That will allow to Moore remain at 2nd where she belongs. Sounds like another year of Alex Brown at 3rd which wasn’t great news last year so we will see how it unfolds with freshmen. Can’t replace a player like Clark in CF. She was as good as they get covering the outfield. Macey Cintron is the new freshman pitcher. I thought she showed good velocity in the scrimmage, but not sure about her control. Rittman probably needs to let her play and develop. They have a couple transfers at pitcher, but don’t think it’s anything close to the what Thompson and Regan provided. Olivia Duncan rarely pitched last season, but remains with the team. Maybe she becomes a pleasant surprise this year?
Regarding the hitting. It’s got to be Julia Knowler breaking out as a sophomore and Maddie Moore faving a strong year. Aby Vieira never seemed fully healthy last season. I’m hoping she can elevate her hitting. However, it’s probably another season of mostly sub 300 averages at the plate unless we see something major from a couple freshmen.
