Aldridge and Castine are the two starting seniors leaving due to

expiration of eligibility. Kleiman and Grizzard graduate as well. Bre Warren, who the NCAA “whacked,” will not be back due to eligibility. Otherwise, unless there are some portal transfers out, the team will be relatively intact from this season. It will be difficult to replace Aldridge and Casteen, but I guess it’s possible that another transfer like Addy Foster could be on the team. Plus some of the other players and/or freshmen recruits could possibly be starters as well. ** Edited by RJHokie at 5/17/2026, 9:35:14 PM

Yes, at the same time, would we consider the two LSU pitchers
