  1. https://www.sbnation.com/2025/6/13/24448723/ncaa-softball-transfer-portal-rankings-texas-tech-nil-canady-terry-pannell Texas Tech aims to go back to the Women’s College World Series. The Red Raiders have added UCLA’s top pitcher, Tennessee’s best hitter and a few more of the most talented players in NCAA softball.
  2. 5 of the best NCAA softball players just transferred to this Women’s College World Series team Texas Tech is reloading. Just a week after losing to Texas in a three-game series in the championship stage of the Women’s College World Series, the Red Raiders are doing all they can to assemble a squad more than capable of getting back to Oklahoma City next year. In addition to reportedly re-signing ace pitcher NiJaree Canady to another NIL deal worthnorth of $1 million, the Red Raiders have now added five of the best players in college softball via the transfer portal. According to the site On3, Texas Tech has landed four of the top 10 players available in the portal, and a fifth that ranks inside the top 30. Three of the players joining Texas Tech were stars on other teams that competed in this year’s World Series. Leading the pack of new players coming to Lubbock is Kaitlyn Terry, the sophomore who was not only UCLA’s best pitcher this season, but also a solid two-way player who tallied 35 hits and 30 runs scored. Terry, a lefthander, was 11th nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio with a 5.06 mark. From the circle, Terry went 20-5 with a 2.64 ERA and 172 strikeouts. On3 ranked Terry as the third-best player in the softball portal. The fourth-best player is joining Texas Tech too, as Tennessee third baseman Taylor Pannell is also taking her talents to Lubbock. The All-American redshirt sophomore was the top hitter for the Lady Vols this season, posting a 1.240 OPS, a .398 batting average, 74 hits, 34 walks, 16 homers and 65 RBI. Pannell will be a big boost to the Red Raiders’ batting order, as will On3’s sixth-best transfer, Ohio State catcher Jasmyn Burns, who ranked fourth nationally in home runs this season with 25 dingers, which set a single-season program record for the Buckeyes. The All-American sophomore was eighth nationally in batting average with a .455 mark, 14th in RBI (72), fifth in slugging percentage (1.006), fifth in total bases (166), and seventh in OPS (1.546).
  3. Maybe it's time they got back to the basics of winning....
  4. Article about Teagan: Kavan said she’ll spend the summer doing all kinds of work for the agency. She’ll also be attending a USA Camp at the end of June and will play in an international tournament in Canada. But the highlight of the year likely already came, with Kavan and her Texas teammates hoisting the championship trophy. “A lot of celebrations with our fans and with my family of course,” she said. “But it's been wild.” https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/college/2025/06/10/teagan-kavan-softball-dowling-catholic-maroons-texas-longhorns/84125064007/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawK6jnpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBaTHVib09oUGI3aUdleEdsAR4oFLWjpKIF8mWZqb1CQMHCOf3r89BCu0yxEVLkIbZqhawdQwaQrQrDqzbGYA_aem_qja6hrsAgiJfyu4df0NezA
  5. Each State’s Gatorade Softball Player of the Year https://www.on3.com/softball/news/texas-signee-hannah-wells-named-gatorade-national-softball-player-of-the-year/ also, a list of every states's Gatorade Player of the Year....interesting.
  6. aggy being the #1 seed going into the playoffs just tells ya what can happen…Horns baseball being #2 seed is another example…too many variables….I’d worry about OU…as usual.
  7. I don’t think Tech will start out as the #1 team…..still lots of unanswered questions and players and time…don’t know who will be the initial #1 team….we were ranked #1 in first poll and #1 final poll….that probably doesn’t happen that often. Not sure when first poll comes out, but it won’t be Tech…imho.
  8. Would like see them once they are available.
  9. Kind of like eating a chocolate eclair…never want it to end.
  10. Do the players get rings or just the individual plaques?
  11. Love it…bring it on…..
  12. Don't you mean...the walk-ons....gathered around....starters ain't doing that shit?
  13. Well, that's not a hard decision to make.
  14. Don't they only know one song to play?
  15. Not gonna do it....wouldn't be prudent!
  16. It won't keep Tech from waving a wad of money at a good-to-great pitcher to entice them to sign....like this year....they definitely got their $$ worth this year....won't be like this every year.
  17. Sounds like Tech boosters have opened the wallet.
  18. Coahoma’s Hannah Wells wipes away a tear after her team beat Lexington in the Class 3A Division II state championship game May 29. Wells, a Texas signee, led her squad to the first three consecutive state softball titles in Texas. She was recently named the Gatorade state player of the year. Hannah Wells, a centerpiece of Texas softball’s 2025 recruiting class, was namedGatorade’s softball player of the year for the state of Texas on Monday after leading Coahoma to a record third consecutive state championship. Wells pitches and plays shortstop for Coahoma, a Class 3A Division II school outside of Big Spring in West Texas that became the first school to win three consecutive UIL state championships. She capped a prodigious prep career by compiling a 22-1 record in the circle with a 0.49 ERA with 258 strikeouts and 31 walks in 1272⁄ 3 innings. She also hit .602 with 31 home runs and 75 RBIs. For her four-year high school career, Wells had a 77-3 record, a 0.75 ERA and 879 strikeouts. At the plate she hit .591 with 86 home runs, 253 RBIs and 171 runs. Texas coach Mike White expects her to primarily pitch for the Longhorns but has indicated she could see some at-bats. “Hannah has a variety of pitches in her arsenal and home run power at the plate,” White said in Novemberwhen his program signed seven players as part of its 2025 class. Ranked fifth in the nation by Softball America, the Longhorns’ 2025 recruiting class also features catcher Anne Wallace, outfielder Alisa Sneed, infielder Jaycie Nichols, infielder Aundrea Wilson, middle infielder Caigan Crabtree and middle infielderMaTaia Lawson. All seven signees are ranked as fourstar recruits by On3. The Longhorns won their first national championship last week by beating Texas Tech in the finals of the Women’s CollegeWorld Series.
  19. Matthew's big tax deduction to The University!
  20. Wells isn't a 5*?
  21. It was a good sign for Texas infielders Leighann Goode and Joley Mitchell and outfielder Katie Stewart Before Game 3 of the Women’s College World Series.
  22. Goode had 13 errors this year, compared to only 4 last year...short stop had a lot to do with that....Bennett also had 13 errors as well. Vivi's injury definitely hurt, but we made do.
