How do Pannell and Johnson compare? The former certainly has had a lot of relief experience, which could be useful. Johnson had big K numbers the past two seasons, but I'm not sure how good her opponents were. Anyway, either lefty would seem well worth pursuing.

Allegedly Texas has sent out portal offers to:

Sa’Mya Jones (LSU INF)
Tallen Edwards (Oklahoma State INF)
Dakota Kennedy (Arizona OF)
Maya Johnson (Belmont LHP)
Taylor Pannell (Mizzou LHP)

Texas is apparently the favorite for Jones and Edwards.  We are apparently in the top 2-3 for Kennedy, Johnson and Pannell. 

Sa'Mya Jones looks like a pinch runner - not sure how a 5'3 infielder is good for us?  You bring in Edwards at 3rd, Vivi back at short, Goode slides back to her natural 2B position and bring Stewie in at 1st (?).  Prioritize Kennedy in LF for an outfield trio of Kennedy-Henry-Maloney.  Kennedy hit .444 as a lefty hitter and had 2 HR off Canady last year. 

Pannell is probably the pitcher you prioritize - lefty who led the NCAA in saves this year. 

Do you have the stats for these ladies as well as pictures?

I like Pannell because she pitched in the SEC for 3 years. 

Gave up 1 run to OU in 4 innings pitched over 2 games.  She's def a reliever by nature - 6 save in 21 appearances a freshman, 15 in 30 appearances in 2024 and 3 in 33 this year (started 7 games).  Missouri was also bad bad bad this year.  Her sophomore year was her best year - 1.21 ERA. 

Maya Johnson had a 1.52 ERA this year in 207 IP with 366 strikeouts.  She's a workhorse.  Against p4 teams:

1-hit GT in 6 innings and gave up no runs, struck out 10
2-hit ASU in 8 innings, giving up 1 ER with 12 strikeouts
3-hit Purdue in 8 innings, giving up no runs with 12 strikeouts
3-hit Maryland, giving up no runs with 13 strikeouts
She did not have good outings against VT in the tournament - 10 innings, 10 ER and only 11 strikeouts total across 2 games.

I’m already looking forward to watching this team play again, for the first time as defending national champions. If the SEC network doesn’t want to broadcast our Fall Ball slate, hopefully they allow LHN to step in and cover those games.

I'm sure it will be the usual McClennan, St. Ed's, TXST, etc. I wonder if we play aggy again? Wouldn't mind a UH or someone not in the SEC. 

I'm curious what our conference slate will be next year - do we just rotate home/away from this year or do we pick up the teams we didn't face instead?  Texas did not face aggy, Arkansas, South Carolina, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia.  If we assume we always play OU (and we better), that's 3 of the 24 games, so we need 7 more opponents. If we pick up the 6 we didn't play this year, we have to double-dip with someone we did play last year.  

If Vandy would add softball, this would be really easy to keep a permanent rival (OU) and rotate the 7 other teams you face each year.

The most-watched women's college softball game ever was the Game 3 of the 2025 Women's College World Series, between Texas and Texas Tech, on June 6, 2025. This game averaged 2.4 million viewers on ESPN and ESPNU, with a peak viewership of 2.7 million according to The New York Times. The Longhorns won the game 10-4, securing their first national championship. 
 

Hell yea, Baby….way to go ladies!
