Mike White has to wake up and use the portal more effectively. White generally prioritizes building a roster through traditional high school recruiting, particularly within the state of Texas. He uses the portal sparingly to fill gaps. Last June, I watched other teams bring in insane talent while White sat complacent and happy with the incoming freshmen. When I’d question why White wasn’t bringing in a pitcher or 3rd baseman to replace Mia Scott, people would point to the freshmen class coming in and it would drive me crazy. If you look around the SEC, many teams have several portal players who start. Alabama, Arkansas and Florida are much improved this year because of the portal. Texas Tech has an entire roster built from the portal. Mike White is the Dabo Swinney of softball, but even Dabo is starting to adjust. -
Too early for me on that one

At 73, I didn't need a reminder. I'm old enough to be Brian, Sr. father.

I am so old the grandkids are playing. Arch's dad was one of my favorites when he played for the Saints!

Don't think the sport isn’t dying - it’s just in a messy transition. The portal and NIL aren’t the real issue - it’s the fact that there’s zero structure around them. Until there are actual rules and some kind of governing backbone, it’s going to feel like chaos. The system needs fixing, not scrapping.

Lots of familiar names in recent years as recruits.. Brockermeyer bros, Swayde Griffin, Kaydon Finley, Trissel's stepson Cook, Logan Lokey, Jordon Young of the top of my head. I think Ted Koy's grandson is a 2028 recruit as well.

If you really want to feel old take a look at Notre Dames roster lol. - Devin Fitzgerald, son of Larry - Kaydon Finley, son of Jermichael - Elijah Burress, son of Plaxico - Bryce Young, son of Bryant - Jerome Bettis Jr. - Thomas Davis Jr.

If he has his dads work ethic then I hope so!
