  2. Texas softball 2026: Dragging our balls over Cody Campbell’s face!
  3. Adrian Peterson is in the HOUSE!
  4. Did Victoria Hunter hustle out to mound?
  5. Sir, you can disparage Breckyn Hager at your own risk.
  6. She is a #3 that should only see innings in mop up blow out situations. She has talent, has shown she can get people out and can eat meaningless innings. She is a luxury, not a necessity and I’m glad she stayed.
  7. oh great! Jerry Sandusky has joined the chat.
  8. Although she plays travel ball at a high level, it is important to remember that the stats that won her that award were achieved against 3A competition.
  9. This is a tough question because the answer can literally be on both ends of the spectrum and for totally different reasons. A smart man would say that if she plays a lot, then that means our season has gone sideways. However, I think she has enough talent to break into the lineup as an every day hitter and reliable #3 on the mound. Mike will spend this fall getting her drop ball to his liking. The quicker she learns how to use that pitch effectively, the more she will pitch. She has tremendous power at the plate, but it will take some time for her to hit on a consistent basis against SEC competition. I think we will see some tape measure shots from her in the fall against lesser competition.
  10. Mike goes much deeper with his staff than most coaches. Maybe it is out of necessity, but he usually has an ace and then #2 is by committee.
  11. If you make it to the Gulf side of Florida, the beaches and water are much nicer. Sarasota has a few great options in Siesta Key and Lido Key. Both places offer white sand, clear emerald water and lots of shopping/dining options. Ana Maria Island is also very nice in the Bradenton area. Clearwater beach is nice but generally overly crowded and flooded with tourist.
  12. The best possible outcome is that we have recruited enough good players that Stevie can be the DP. Give her an occasional start at 1B, but let her main focus be on breaking 2nd story windows beyond LF
  13. They used him for the donor parts to put Baxter back together.
  14. Sark cuts the fat the same way Gasso or Saban or any other coach cuts the fat. He tells players that he doesn’t see them getting playing time. You think Cook is the only player cut in the Sark era? Texas had a dozen players leave after last season not counting Cook. Most if not all of them would have stayed if they thought they would get playing time.
  15. Very smart of Terry's agents to get her on the Tech roster. I am sure she got a bag, but next year when Canady leaves she has the chance to make a much bigger payday from those idiots. Mia Williams is an average fielder and hitter, with really good power. She will hit 20+ HR next year in Lubbock. Gerry is trying to build a roster of HR hitters and lock down pitching. Terry will bat when she pitches and DP when she doesn't, same for Canady. This always raises the question of them getting hurt on the base paths, which is a risk you take when you are paying them what those guys are paying. I think Tech will be good to very good next year and will probably start the season ranked #1. Texas and OU will be much more battle tested, due to SEC play, and we will see how it all plays out in OKC.
  16. Tech softball 2026 - sick of being second place
  17. Agreed that coaches still have to recruit at a high level to be successful. Patty has always recruited top ranked classes. Many people on this board say she can't develop talent without acknowledging the fact that she just won four straight titles with possibly the most talented roster ever assembled. Jennings, Alo, Coleman, Lyons, Hansen and others were all her recruits. Who can blame some of the 5* kids who left for playing time elsewhere. Players like Donahue, Eriksen, Nugent, Guerin and others starred in the SEC for other teams. They were good players but they weren't beating out those kids ahead of them. No one should blame Patty or other coaches for bringing players in to improve their roster. If Mike would have signed Canady last year, everyone would have praised him.
  18. yet we praise Sarkisian and other coaches for cutting the fat on their football rosters. The portal is here to stay and this is the new way of doing business. If my kid was a recruit these days, I'd urge her to pursue mid major teams, establish herself as a player and then transfer to the highest bidder.
  19. she was injured coming into 2024 and never really looked fully recovered. Wrist injuries can be tough to overcome. I think she will play well next year at 2B
  20. She hit 31 HR this year and is the state’s all time HR leader. She can hit, and forget the fact that she is in 3A, she plays at a high level in travel ball. I expect her to be in the lineup next year. I actually think her bat projects better next year than her pitching.
  21. The future is bright boys and girls!! Texas softball signee Hannah Wells receives top statewide award
  22. You have to count Bahl. The argument is that if Bahl stayed at OU, Patty wouldn’t have gotten Kelli Maxwell or Sam Landry.
  23. She recruited Jordy Bahl. When Bahl left she started the rent a pitcher strategy. My guess is she will be shopping for another ace this year.
