@John Peters Why is that the expectation? They have some significant losses from last season and while I know the recruiting class is highly thought of, that generally takes awhile to play out. What am I missing?

@kathywd77 I like the talent coming in for sure. TCU is losing a lot on the mound, but they had some solid bullpen guys that should compete for rotation spots. They also have two guys coming back from Tommy John. A lot will come down to whether or not they can find a rotation. I don't think they'll be a top ten team, but I could see top 4 in the Big XII.

@John Peters Thanks for info. I didn't know about the guys coming back from TJ. Agreed, it'll depend on rotation as most programs do. Didn't they also lose some positional transfers?

How many teams do you see making a Regional..six?
