Bees have had a difficult out of conference strength of schedule and continue that trend this upcoming season.

2023 Bees graduated 2 D1 players in Caden Shanks (Lipscomb Univ) & Wyatt Curtis (ETSU). Only one position player to replace for the upcoming 2024 season. That makes collegiate players from the program in past two years. Four Bees are expected to sign this from this seasons roster.
