Tennessee Softball 2027

What transfer positions do you think were likely to go after?
SS is priority #1 imo. While Bella was an elite defender you can’t have her being that much of a liability at the plate in her senior year. Not saying you take anyone just to take someone. But that’s the one position where if you have a chance to upgrade you absolutely pull the trigger

Aubrey Leach-Gartner knows how to hit.
Although there are some players that do both, she has told people in the softball world that she does not plan on being a full-time assistant coach while she still plays AUSL. There are also some equipment and shoe contracts that she would have to give up if she moved from player development to a full-time assistant coach. Right now, she has the best of both worlds. Playing AUSL, you miss the entire summer recruiting circuit, and that’s not a great place for a staff to be. Particularly for someone who would be a hitting coach.
 
Not really. I liked his approach when he took over, but the results the last two years have not. You can’t be in the bottom half of the league in batting average and scoring in back-to-back seasons.
One of the hottest coaches when he was at AM all around, recruits/players loved him. My issues goes back to Stephanie last season not paying attention on 1B. Numerous times early on got players out…even replaced by Craig an inning after Ella got doubled up.

I wonder if the kerfuffle with The Liar contributed to this decision?
 
Well, now that the portal is officially open let’s see what happens with some of our players. My guess is if anybody of significance were to leave it would be Erin Nuwer. I’m not saying she will, but I also would not be shocked to see a team like Texas Tech go after her hard. With all that being said, let’s hope for a boring portal season on our end unless it involves a high quality bat joining our roster.

Anyone looking for a #1 is going to target a team that has 2 or more pitchers capable of being a #1. Going to have to spend to keep them both.
 
Kasidi Pickering reportedly in the portal out of OU. Not a big surprise. I know Texas Tech tried very hard to get her last year so wonder if she will finally end up there?
Tech bound 100%. She reportedly removed all OU stuff from her social media as soon as their season ended and started retweeting Tech stuff.
 
Apparently Sam Lincoln from Texas Tech has entered the portal. Some people saying it means Tech has a deal lined up for either Sage or Erin. Any truth to that or just pure speculation at this point?

Listen, if Sage leaves I will be absolutely shocked. Erin was leaning towards leaving based on things I was told awhile ago. Things may’ve changed with her since, IDK. I hope BOTH Sage and Erin are Lady Vols next season.
I have no clue about Sam Lincoln.

Given whats happening today with the Sorsby news I would be very cautious about going to Texas Tech. If its a pure money play I get it but the best competition you may face all year is Arizona, Arizona State, or Oklahoma State. There was a cold war in softball last year like this but I expect more to follow Georgia and Nebraska.

 
Samantha Swan from ASU is also in the portal. With Atwood graduating at Texas I bet both Swan and Isa Torres from FSU are going to be Longhorns. They’re both from just outside Austin area. Texas will undoubtably be the preseason #1 if this happens.
