Amazed

I am amazed at how strong the pitching is this year. It will be interesting to see how the new freshman starting tonight does.:BigA:

Agreed.
It's also amazing what ills winning will cure around here.

see where freshman Tucker Hawley is starting tonight against Minnesota. Anyone know why he hasn't pitched yet? I thought him and Matt Taylor were the 2 higher-regarded pitching signees (not that I'm complaining about the success of others so far)

My guess Zona is they wanted to give him little more time to adjust to the college game. Where Hawley and Wolfe came from is a powerhouse here in Georgia, but it is in one of the lower classifications (well middle anyway we have public ball which goes from A to AAAAA. They came from a AAA school. The lower you go in classification the smaller the school hence the overall weaker competition state wide). While Wolfe came in and basically pitched right away, I think he was slightly ahead of Hawley as far as a polished pitcher. None the less I think both of those guys will contribute a lot to the program over the next few years.

I heard Hawley was a candidate for redshirt status, but they decided to go ahead and bring him into the line up.
