Maybe she just isn’t as popular as she thinks she is and that is showing up in a lack of endorsement deals.

Would be really interested to see this in Texas.

Word on the softball reddit is that Canady is holding out for more money and hasn't signed to play. The games started yesterday. If she thinks she's going to get Tech money, she's in for a rude awakening. This is laughable and why I say that's she's no where near the face of softball. She's in it for herself, talented yes, but not trying to grow the game. Most of the players in the league probably only make $45k ish and they're the best of the best. It's a similar situation to Caitlin Clark making only $76k as a rookie when her NIL and endorsement deals were in the millions. The smarter move would be to play and get endorsement deals.

Apparently the baseball program doesn't get nearly enough support as the other major sports, which makes no sense considering they have the better history. Sucks

It will be interesting to see if all the AD's, Presidents, coaches, etc. follow through on all the posturing that has gone on since the decision came down. Color me jaded, but in the social media world we now live in, everyone wants to throw out their statements, but little actually happens in reality. I would LOVE to see teams not schedule Tech and boycott them in all sports but that takes administrators with some guts and I am skeptical. It will be interesting to see this play out, but in the era of no rules, I feel it's going to be a lot of smoke and no fire.

Just hate being outbid. Makes no sense

Haha. There isn't nearly as much star power in this cycle as there was last year. Gotta get em while you can. Oh well though.

This. I can easily coach a boy on hitting a baseball and be able to get real technical with it. I would be absolutely lost at coaching a girl in hitting a softball. Sure, I could do mechanics, getting a pretty swing, etc.... but softball is completely different and that coaching would only go so far.

We’ll let the staff know you prefer to land great players. I’m sure they haven’t thought of that after watching Tinney and Robbins all year. Again, let it play out. It’s June 10th. The portal isn’t even at the halfway mark.

Yes, it is a massive whiff. Becker or Hacopian could end up being the player away from winning a ring or not. That's TBD and we'll likely never know. But these are the players LSU has won titles with. Gotta land them, period.

Great point. Just remember Tinney wasn't the first choice for Texas last year. How did that work out?

Is it a massive whiff if Texas ends up with the 2nd or 3rd best outfielder in the portal instead of the 1st? Let it play out. I remember when missing on Becker and Hacopian last year were “massive whiffs” and we ended up with some plan C option names Temo Becerra, who had a career year.

Who is the legit SEC level big man for when Matas gets in foul trouble?

Totally devoid of critical thinking skills. Should not be on bench.

Looks like we have our first massive whiff of the cycle. #Oof

Texas very pleased with workouts so far. Texas feels like the pieces all fit on a roster ... I agree

I wouldn't bet on it👀

Saw this on Twitter/X. Assume it is true regarding the Judge, but not sure. Tarrant County is also where Campbell lives. "The judge's son in law is a Tech alum. His daughter lives in Lubbock. Also, he worked in Tarrant County, Texas… which is 30 mins away from Cedar Hill high school, where Tech’s coach Joey McGuire won 3 state championships and was a coaching legend."

Need to see where Nelson's house is in Lubbock🤣. Is it next to Brewster's? Wouldn't doubt anything that the clowns in Lubbock will do in recruiting. Maybe they hid his info better than the JBrewster Living Trust 🤣

Isa Isa Isa Isa. Former Georgetown resident, come on down.

Not to be negative here, but he’s got an OV to Tech this weekend, and then he’s making a final decision on Sunday (immediately after the Tech OV). This will give Tech the last shot here, and (no doubt) they’ll have the highest bid. Given the decison date being moved up and the Tech OV not being cancelled, it seems Nelson knows he has to make a final decision on Tech’s NIL offer by Sunday.

I keep refreshing hoping for exciting positive news for Texas lol.
