Tennessee Lady Vols Softball 2022.

Non-Lady Vol news but big win for SEC recruiting with UCLA to Big Ten news today. I expect 2 more to the Big Ten in the next year with them. Gonna break up the Pac-12. UCLA will still get theirs but the SEC will have the premier spot to play softball all to themselves.

LMFAO that makes no sense from a geographical standpoint. It's worse than West Virginia being in the Big 12.

when you are looking at $100M a year versus 30M now it makes a ton of sense.

Sounds like our Leach family tree!

Except with more success.

Lexi Kilfoyl to OK State

Lexi Kilfoyl to OK State

She was in play at a couple of SEC schools, but she likely won’t be able to throw again until January. Scared everyone else off. She’ll be great at OSU.

Kenny is creating something there. Won’t be surprised if he gets a championship in the next few years.

How shocking. They get tons of high profile transfers every season.

I will give Kenny credit for one thing, he may overly rely on transfers, but he manages to get them without tampering and waits until they actually go in the portal before contacting them. I don’t know that building a program almost exclusively on transfers will work forever, but it has certainly worked for him the last few years. And he still managed to do it the right way, which is shocking in today’s game.

Pretty much sums up every post season. Our mental approach has to change.

 

[Vol67]

Need coaching change first

Yes. And Karen is only winning 76% of the games.

Looks like lair got surgery today. Hopefully she can be fully recovered by this coming spring.

If KOC/Rappe did it she's probably looking at 8 months until fully cleared. Months 6-8 would ramp up throwing.

Gives more reps to the 3 freshman coming in at MI in the fall.

Surgery for what?

 

[anecwnrjcns12]

Surgery for what?

I’m not too sure what specifically, but gives me insight as to why she was the DP the second half of the season

Lady Vols softball twitter has a link to a nice 30 minute Extra Innings podcast with Erin Edmoundson. She says she’s coming back to Knoxville to finish her MBA in December and will be working with the team this Fall. Had real nice things to say about her experience.

 

[TouchOfGrey]

My mistake, was InTheCircle Fastpitch News not Extra Innings. She also said Ashley M was finishing her MBA and helping out as well. Nice to have some vets helping out with so many newcomers arriving.

Cydney Sanders is transferring to OU. Looks like everyone is playing for 2nd place & another boring season of softball is ahead. Once again a big super team built.

College athletics as we have known them are over. It seems like the wild,wild,west now. Talking out of both sides of my mouth I understand Stirako (graduated) and Sanders and Torres (coaching change) leaving, I just hate they all went to OU. But of course we signed three, none of them graduates or from coaching changes. But still glad we have them. The last two biggest dominos to fall will be Haley Lee from A&M and Palacios from AZ. Please not OU! I’ve accepted the fact there is hs recruiting and then portal recruiting which is becoming just as important. Until it changes we have to play the game too and become good at it. It just seems other factors outweigh school or program loyalty. But like I say, I can see both sides. Cest la Vie

I would say meono from AZ is a pretty good get. Former Pac-12 batting champ would be a huge get from anyone. I am also glad for our 3 transfers as I think we are getting better transfer year after year.

They still have to play the games and stay healthy. We’ve seen plenty of favorites and even number 1 teams fall in the regionals and not make it to the WCWS. Like anecwnrjcns12 said there are still some great transfers out there yet to land.

It’ll be a revolving door until it’s addressed. Mid-major schools should elevate their rosters but that would come at the expenses of a Power 5 player being humbled. NCAA should of had a plan in place for players transferring, immediate eligibility if they transfer outside Power 5 to mid-major, D2/3.

I think the majority of players would definitely disagree with you. I am on the fence on whether or not a player should sit out

Players would, but to stop the log jam of high school kids being overlooked or as it’s elevated to shady contacts of players/friends recruiting players to their team.
