Did they get some transfers?

Do they have a new coaching staff this year? Didn't they lose a lot to graduation last year?

I don't know much about them this year......just trying to remember the details that I can.

Same staff, but I've heard both coaches are expecting soon.
From Max Preps, looks like they return 4 starters and the main pitcher from last year who had a ~7 ERA.
