I think the strength, the quickness and the hand speed is in there. I just don't think we're seeing it yet because all the parts aren't working together yet.

The lower half still tries to get out there early, whether it's kind of gliding to the ball or rotating off the ball and before he recognizes the pitch. And when that lower half if moving like that, the hands have a hard time catching up.

The ball was really coming out of his hand well. I don't think his arm strength is built up quite enough, but he said he had no pain. He just needs some more time on the mound. It was good to see him back out there.

They're a veteran group, for the most part, with great strength. Since they are an experienced group, they're able to make adjustments on the field.

Our strength is that we have depth, so we should contend. We have athletes that are capable of finishing at the top of the BIG EAST. Depth is very important to us, so the more we have, the better off we will be.

I think 22-8 with a solid strength of schedule would've gotten us in. It was a year of parity. There were three top teams in the region. It was really bunched from No. 4-20.
