The 2017 season is over and while the Beavers were tripped up short of the national championship, there’s reason to be optimistic in Corvallis. Losing arms like Jake Thompson and Max Engelbrekt (maybe Drew Rasmussen?) and the offense of KJ Harrison is going to be tough to replace. That being said, these nine incoming players should compliment Pat Casey’s returning pieces for a good chance at a return trip to Omaha.
