Every two to three years the SBC goes through a one year cycle where the quality of the league is down. It usually rotates which team it is, but its primarily because of how hard it is to recruit at the same high level.

Two years ago, ULL didn't even make the conference tourney. Troy lost most of their offense last year. USA lost most of their offense, and is still making some adjustments thanks to their last coaching change.

Things to take heart in though. USA and Troy will not stay down for long. ULL returns a lot of its pitching staff, and enough of the offense, Texas State is very young, and ASU has only 4 seniors on its entire roster.

The league wont be down long

Chief, I'm not sure where you are getting your information about UL because it is not accurate. The Cajuns could have anywhere from 7 to 8 players drafted, all starters including all three weekend starters. Several players will have their degrees after the season and not return. UL signed 16 athletes early and plan to sign several more this month.

Caleb Adams
Seth Harrison
Jace Conrade
Austin Robichaux
Ryan Leonards
Greg Milhorn
Carson Baranik

All these are certain to be drafted

Matt Plitt
Mike Strentz

Possible late round

I was just going by roster, didn't want to hazard to guess whether or not players would stay or go pro.

So, in your efforts not to guess you speculated? LOL!!! UL will definately be rebuilding. This is our second year in this run with this class. Two straight regionals from this class would be great!
