Looks like we arent the only ones with pretty high expectations for Liberty this year:

They just don't seem to have a down year. I think we will be very competitive this year but we are going to be young, especially on the mound.

Our division will be extremely competitive as both Campbell and High point have the potential to be very good. Our strength of schedule should be much better than last year so if we can have some success (especially on the road with the new RPI formulas) then the overall RPI could put us at a place for an at large consideration - but we are 36-40 wins away from even thinking about that!

not surprising at all. Totaly agree with sporter on campbell. plus i have a feeling that the bad blood from last year will make this series very interesting.

Its going to be competitive that is for certain. Despite our youth I wouldnt count us out though...obviously the other coaches have quite a bit of faith in how good we can be to pick us to win the division

No one said anything about counting anyone out. We have a nice mix of veterans and solid young players. It will come down to Coastal and LU again.

If we can win our division itll give us a very favorable bracket draw for the tournament I would think
