  1. Of course she is. Mike White has got to recruit or develop some power bats. We can score a lot of runs with our speed, but every once in a while, a 3 run bomb would be nice. I think Atwood will hit 15-20 next year, but that's it for power in the line up.
  2. Vawter is a really good pitcher, but I don't see OU as a fit for her. As previously mentioned, Patty prefers swing and miss pitchers over drop ball pitchers who live and die with the ground ball. Has anyone heard any names that Texas may be chasing in the portal? We need a couple of legit power bats in the middle of the order, to complitment all this speed. Ideally, they would play 1st or 3rd base. The kid from Indiana is intriguing, but I haven't seen any interest there.
  3. Agree, go be great in the Big 10. The Big XII just became much more competitive, at least until Portal Patty waves her magic wand.
  4. There is nothing to figure out as it has been long known that he is Greg Davis.
  5. Leaving a Stanford education for a softball scholarship at OU is certainly a choice.
  6. Watch how quickly Patty gets her replacement to enter the portal
  7. There are other schools that can compete with OU, but they won’t until they commit their attentions and resources towards the sport the way the Sooners have. They have the best coach, the best players, the best NIL, the best exposure and they are building new facilities. No one else is making that type commitment.
  8. After I posted this, Coach White basically said the same thing, that girls quit fighting. This was not even remotely close to the same fire and intensity they played with in Austin.
  9. Not real sure what happened to this team in Knoxville. They looked like the group that showed up in Clearwater last year. Most of th appeared uninterested.
  10. This is the answer. Ford was a weird hire in my opinion. aTm has some of the best facilities in the country and could have money whipped almost any coach and yet they got Ford….and then, as you said, 1/2 of ASU’s team jumps in the portal and she gets none of them. Mike White is considered a hard ass, but half the ducks team followed him to Texas.
  11. Auburns hitting coach is terrible and she has 36 HR in two years. Texas has zero power outside of Atwood
  12. Bri Ellis of Auburn just entered the portal as a soph. She is from the Houston area and is a 1B with huge power. I believe she has 30 HR in her two years at Auburn. This is a player that Mike should be salivating over. Plug her in defensively and let her bat go to work behind all that speed at the top of the order.
  13. Texas has left 5-6 runs on the table this game.
  14. They big mad. The home plate ump has been squeezing both teams all day. The ags asst coach got thrown out to keep his pitcher from getting tossed. Mike had surprisingly held his composure….of cours a big lead helps with that.
  15. Guessing we throw Morgan and Czech today. Both should be well rested and ready. Just need the bats to show up, score a couple early and put all the pressure on the ags.
  16. Came here to post this exact thing. When it is right, that is the best change in the country. Ask any high level player what’s the hardest pitch to hit and everyone of them will say change up or rise ball.
  17. OSU also gets Wichita State in their regional. Wichita State is a really good team and has beaten OSU twice this season.
  18. This is absolutely absurd. RPI, and rankings mean shit.
  19. She is a smooth talker and comes across well to the players. However, she will turn on you on a dime when things don't go her way, and she fosters bickering and in fighting among her roster. Often picking favorites and forcing others to leave. Before the portal, she was know for making a player's life miserable, and then blocking where she could transfer to. In one case, completely blocking all schools in the players home state. I'm not sure why players continue to go there. The facilities are nice, but Baton Rouge is a shithole in general.
  20. As bad as she is as a coach, she is worse as a person. 1st hand experience when my daughter was recruited.
  21. Rumor has it she is down to Texas and LSU. She is a legit player from the plate and the circle.
  22. I hope that Mike will soon get a commitment from 2025 P Hannah Wells from Coahoma, Tx. She is very high on Texas and loves Mike White, and she is a difference maker the day she arrives on a college campus. Water is wet....and Patty prefers to recruit kids into the portal who have already shown they can play.
  23. This team has guts. It feels like the freshmen are becoming the leaders of the team. The top of our lineup is filled with speed and girls who can really handle the bat....Probably not enough to win a series against OU down in OKC, but definitely good enough to get us there again this year.
  24. You mean the brother that Worthy beat about 12 times?
