UWO roster is posted.....

Will be interesting to see how successful Meissner is in the WIAC after spending his freshman season at the University of Illinois last year.  Looks like over half on the incoming freshmen are from across the border in Illinois.

Coach T did his homework well throughout Northern Illinois and the suburbs when he was at NPU. He's probably still utilizing those existing resources.

Well my credible source was accurate about point being awful this year however he hadn't told me Greco and thomka were out for year so I'm guessing that's why he figured that.  I just don't see a way that they can compete against Oshkosh whitewater and la crosse this year and I truly think platteville and stout will be around as good as point.  I didn't think bloom leaving would create such a drop off but my god it didn't look even average last year and this year may be far worse.  They need to get a recruiter.

If he keeps his walks down and is able to keep hitters behind in the count he could be lights out. [/b]

Can't disagree with this, but it could be said about every pitcher EVER.

2017 Union Grove OF, Bradley Hansen, committed to UWSP.  He bats and throws left handed.  Looks like a good get for Coach Jirschele.

About time they need a lot more skill players in general I remember not too long ago when pointers had 4 or 5 guys on roster that could barely see field that would've started for most other schools.  Just seems to be lack of star power and depth other than pitching.

WIAC season preview:

Whitewater with back-to-back DH's up in Minnesota at the end of the week....  The Warhawks will essentially be playing four games in 24 hours as their first game begins at 4:30 PM Thursday, while their final game begins at 2:15 PM Friday.

Wonder if they able to sleep at the ballpark in order to save on hotel costs?

A lot like that stretch in Sauget for regionals last season.

Oshkosh had a good, almost great, weekend to open the season in finishing 2-1 with wins over Transylvania (PA) and Adrian (MI) and a loss to #3 ranked Birmingham Southern College. Titans outhit BSC and made fewer errors but still fell 6-3. A win there would have looked really good come selection time.

Transy is in Lexington, Kentucky. Thanks for the update!

Was again told today that points 4th place prediction was pretty generous more than one person close to program have told me they see point finishing 5th possibly last and not winning many non conference games.  How has this happened?

Well, Stout's offense isn't exactly setting the world on fire thus far, as they have scored 13 runs over their six games en route to a 2-4 start....

Is this where you tell everyone to watch out for Platteville again a la 2015?

Actually at this point in time it hasn't happened.  They'll need to play some games first.
