  1. So a&m is on equal footing with Texas when it comes to prestige, recognition, money, academics and athletic prowess. Texas hires their baseball savior away from them and they are going to try and convince the coach of...checks notes....DBU to come to their school? Seems legit.
  2. It’s obviously Canady…..please 6 lb 7 oz baby Jesus let it be Canady.
  3. And, believe it or not, this type shit happens all the time, just maybe not to this extreme. Had a travel coach tell my daughter that she would have to play for someone else if she wanted to go to LSU, because he didn’t like Beth Torina and would not send his players there.
  4. No one can evaluate kids that are 12-14 years old and know with certainty what they will be when they are 18-20. Travel ball has become watered down with teams, and everyone trophy hunts or plays showcase tournaments exclusively. 10 years ago, the best players played up in age, and the best teams had all the best players. College coaches could show up at a tournament and see those kids playing against talented competition. Now they rely on getting kids on campus for camps and evaluating them in drills and simulated games, and that is just not the same.
  5. The rub is that Patty doesn't care. If the freshman are good enough, they play. If they are not, they move on and she goes shopping in the portal with their scholarship monies.
  6. Apparently, it is not just a rule, but also a law. A law, that when broken, can be punishable by enormous fines, jail time, death penalties, and lifetime bans from the sport.
  7. Christ Almighty..,,this may be their most delusional post to date. The NCAA has tried to enforce rules along the way and they have been sued and loss at every turn. They can’t punish schools for blatant disregard to the rules and this idiot thinks they are handing out a death penalty sentence?
  8. He would eat them into bankruptcy
  9. Hunter had 6 chance this season in the field and made 0 errors. Are you referring to her travel ball career?
  10. I think Mia has to go to LF...Hunter to 3B and either MItchell or Goode at 2B.
  11. I don't think White fishes in the portal this year, unless is it a sure fire lock down ace, or a big power bat. There just isn't anywhere to put a player that would certainly come in expecting to be in the lineup. White will have a hard enough time trying to find regular spots for Joley Mitchell, and Hunter this season.
  12. I have heard through the grapevine that the UH locker room was total chaos. Players carrying weapons, threats, and the coaches withholding meals between double header games when they lost. AD's around the country don't generally give a damn about non revenue sports and that lack of attention allows people like Vesely to remain employed far too long.
  13. Gerry is a really good coach and an even better guy. However, I think he is mid to late 60's so this is a short term hire. I hope Landry goes to OU tomorrow and pushes Canady to us, but I am guessing several of those players follow him to Lubbock.
  14. Good move for her. She has a big bat, but there is nowhere for her to play defensively.
  15. Maybe some of the girls need to finish up degrees and will transfer after the fall. I am shocked none have entered the portal yet….truth is, we needed a few to enter.
  16. Arkansas is part of Arkansas….Texarkana is part of Houston
  17. still no Texas players confirmed to the Portal?
  18. Patty recruits well every year, but they won't all be hits. Her recruits are always highly ranked, but part of that is due to perception once they commit to OU. Even if 3-4 turn out to be all americans during their careers, they will still be freshmen this year, and the learning curve and workload of college softball can be tough.
  19. Only Hodge received meaningful playing time this year, but with OU losing 10 seniors, plus these 3 portal entrants, Patty will be churning more than 1/2 her roster.
  20. Atwood had a great year, but disappeared in the WCWS...Hope she comes back better next year. Two many wasted ABs and too many dropped pitches. I think Martinez and Scott lead this team offensively next year and I expect big jumps from Stewart and Henry as well. If we get anything close to the same production from Atwood, we will be fine offensively.
  21. He had to have been promised the HC job when Karen finally dies...I mean retires. Any news on potential Texas players going into the portal? Exit interviews have been done by now, and players should know exactly where they stand moving into next season.
  22. See yall for game two. The pussification in this thread is too much for me. We didn’t show up tonight, but tomorrow is a new day.
