Good recruiting classes lined up. Having to depend on young pitching will cause for more frustrations next year but I can guarantee Scot won't over schedule next year, either. This is our first NCAA miss in several years and the unexpected loss of a high-level ACC pitcher in the off season cost us several wins for sure. I don't think that Whit would consider a change in softball at this time. Has there been a more consistent NCAA participant at VT than softball in the last decade? Much of the frustration about VT softball is because of what is happening at JMU. Mickey Dean is a great coach but Ford and Good would make any team good. As the crow flys, Bath County (Ford) and Fort Defiance (Good) are tight regionally to JMU. The stars aligned for the Dukes for sure.
