Is it possible Koback could be coming back to UWSP 1 more year in hopes of winning a national championship?

That would surprise the hell out of me.

If that was the case, Point would need to be bringing in at least 2-3 more pitching STUDS (besides Koback) because looking at their roster right now, they don't have the arms to compete at the national level next season.

Hanke could be one of those studs, anybody hear anything recently on his decision?

Wendorf and Iverson aren't too bad they would make a solid #2 and #3 with Hanke possilby #4. Van Beck also could factor in. Anyone really know what's going on with Koback? He's playing for the Rafters I see and hitting around 250.

Being able to beat teams at the National Level and "aren't too bad" are completely different things. Look at it this way, which trio would you take:

A-Williams/Delorit/Koback
B-Koback/Iverson/Wendorf

If you would honestly take Group B, you are a bigger homer than anyone could have even imagined.

cubs, you're being silly. You know he'd pick option C:

C-Koback/Koback/Koback

+K!!!

Good thing I was taking a drink as I was reading that, or my computer may have been ruined after I spit it out from laughing!!!

While the line-up he faced may not be at the same level of those he sees during the Regular Season, UWO's Luke Westphal continued to be impressive this weekend, throwing a "No-Hitter" in the Oshkosh Giants victory in Addison (IL) on Sunday.

Rob Coe has signed with and is pitching for the St Paul Saints. He's hitting the mid-90's.

ShineTime · July 06, 2011, 11:35:59 AM

Rob or Doug? If Rob is hitting mid 90's he should've been pitching on a regular basis this past season. I know Doug had a rocket arm when he played for Point and could see him hitting mid 90's.

ShineTime · July 06, 2011, 11:36:54 AM

What's the latest on Koback? He's still playing for the Rafters which leads me to believe he's playing for Point next year.

Well he was Whitewater's defacto closer this season.... What more do you want him to do? He was the best catcher on the Warhawk roster, so it's not like you can expect him to throw nine-innings every weekend and catch the other 27 innings.

badgerwarhawk · July 06, 2011, 03:14:39 PM

He was the best catcher in the league.

He was played at the position from which he could make the most significant contribution to the team. His situation is different now. I think Vodenlich has a pretty good idea of where to play his athletes. He's been doing it pretty successfully for some time now.

ShineTime · July 06, 2011, 10:41:35 PM

I guess what I'm trying to say is why didn't they get another very good catcher and make him a full time starter if he's throwing mid 90's? I know Coe was a great catcher but I'm thinking Whitewater as good as they are could've recruited someone at least close to the caliber of Coe defensively. Just seems like they wasted what could've been a dominant D3 pitcher.
