The funny thing is that he wants to make Tech relevant so bad but what he's done has probably set them back worse than when he became rich.

According to a redditor, allegedly she was headed to ATM but the NIL was less than what she had agreed prior to entering the portal so she backed off them.

I'm still thinking that Coach White probably wants to let some of the talented sophomores and freshmen battle for the available open spots in LF and RF. There were some highly touted recruits that were backups last year as they were adjusting to the college game.

She had a Nike deal at FSU, so likely she'd get the same or an even better deal with Nike at Texas.

On a separate note, I've seen some posts on social media about how some of the Tech players (from last year) seemed to go out of their way to claim that they were "so much happier at Tech". As one person put it, it really feels forced because psychology teaches you that if you're truly happy that you've moved on, you're not thinking about the past and your former team much less go out of your way to point out how happy you are. People will just notice how happy you are if it's true.

If not the top, I would think Texas would be that 2nd tier at the very least. Texas is in the top 5 in terms of dollars invested in softball with OU leading the pack; hard to imagine they wouldn't put the NIL money behind it to make those investments worth it. Additionally, it helps that Texas is a Nike school and has prominent involvement in nationwide programs. Kavan and Atwood being part of that Nike campaign did not hurt any image and rumors were that the packages for each student athlete was worth at least $1m in value. The endorsement deals you can get at a Texas a significantly more than say a Tech where your market is Lubbock and the majority of players are oil companies. In Austin, being a major city, the capital of Texas, no professional sports teams, and a vast plethora of industries, I would imagine the NIL opportunities are a lot more.

If only it were that easy; there's an extremely high likelihood that Tech is throwing crazy money a la million dollar Canady at her considering SS was the only position they weren't able to buy last year (though they did try chasing Torres last year from reports). If it's significantly more than what Texas offers, it's a hard decision to make. I hate Lubbock and Tech, but life changing money would be hard to pass up. I know that NIL at Texas is good, but could it come close or surpass it? That's what Torres needs to figure out.

There's some talented sophomores and freshman who will likely get a chance.

If Torres is interested, you don't turn down Torres, she's that good. Last year batted over .500 when she was pitched to, on base percentage of over .600, and on defense I think had 2 errors all of last year at SS. She's elite. If your top of the lineup is: 1. Kayden Henry 2. Isa Torres 3. Vivi Martinez 4. Katie Stewart Then you also have Swan, Nichols, Wells, the other 2 bats TBD. That's fear for a pitcher - combo of speed and power.

Goode also relay threw Atwood out at the plate.

What NFL team is going to take him? It's not like he's got NFL talent and this much baggage?

I have no insider sources, just try to check social media and message boards to see if there's any news.

Have the Zache sisters from ou landed anywhere? Recall that one of them is supposed to be a good pitcher.

This is where I'm at and cannot understand it myself, they literally are throwing away the future for a long time for a guy that's been mid.
