April Thread

44

No foolin’…..told y’all not to sleep on those Anteaters!

D1 has Beavs #11 and ‘eaters #12, Perfect game Irvine #12 and Beavs #13, Baseball America flips that and ranks Beavs #12, ‘eaters #13, then says:

“Oregon State turned in a subpar showing in Week 7, going 2–2 and suffering a surprising series loss at Nebraska. The Huskers entered the week with a sub-.500 record and dropped six of their last 10 games, but still ran roughshod over a Beavers squad widely regarded as one of the nation’s best. Oregon State managed a mercy-rule win in Game 2 but was otherwise outscored 23–10 in the two losses. The Beavers, now 20–6 and down to No. 12 in the rankings, have a golden opportunity to regroup with No. 13 UC Irvine coming to town. The rare April matchup between two non-conference heavyweights is a key proving ground for both programs as they look to further establish momentum and national credibility.”

Hmmm, Beavs “widely regarded as one of the nation’s best” and Huskers “ran roughshod” over them. No mention of “that’s just baseball”.

Fail to look good vs Irvine and nike (now #15 in D1) and that “widely regarded” stuff may be impacted negatively. Ya think?

Kick it around, you scoundrels, there’s FB, Gymnastics, and even Tinkle to discuss as well.
GO BEAVS!

Baseball returns to Corvallis this Friday, should we expect improvement? Is it needed?

Only 180 days till Cal comes to Reser; what do you expect from multi tasking Bray and his revised staff?

Basketball always good for opinions, let’s hear ’em. Tinkle and Rueck, not exactly two peas in a pod.
GO BEAVS!

Fun fact: Didja know USC baseball is playing home games this season at a public park in Irvine (Not anteater field) and that all home games are free admission?

Let’s try to avoid the political stuff in this one. Otherwise, have at it, Beavos!

Coaching Vacancies + Free Agency(cont.)

835

Old thread was slowing down so starting a new one.

Football team has 2 coaching vacancies to fill (RB & TE) and the late signing day is coming up in about a month.(Feb 5th)

I’m expecting the RB spot will get filled soon. My money is on Ray Pickering still.

I’m suspicious the TE job will be a promote from within hire with Will Heck getting the increased responsibilities, which would also open an offensive quality control position.

Should continue to be another active month of offseason roster building activity.

Free Agency

823

Felt like time for a new post.

Beavs have been hot in free agency today, with the additions of:

4* QB Maalik Murphy(Duke)

4* TE Jackson Bowers(BYU)

LB Walker Harris(S. Utah)

 

Signs also point to continued activity as we have several transfers the Beavs have either had on visit or soon to visit.

4*USC LB Raesjon Davis comes tomorrow.

The transfer portal has been kind to the Beavs as of late.

Is it good recruiting?

Or an influx of donations the fans are unaware of?

Should be a fun week for the Beavs.

Also on the agenda, the Beavs need to hire a new RB coach after Ford took the HC position at Idaho.

Speculate away….
