HookemTexas

Admittedly I don't know too many names outside of Texas, but for next year with Frahm, Pickens, and Canady gone, who are the elite pitchers outside of Kavan? Terry is a maybe because she got hit hard but multiple teams in the WCWS. Miss state's pitcher?

Yea, I thought Gasso was on the ou staff under Gasso, brain fart.

Prior year we lost a coach who's now ASU's head coach I believe.

They’ve lost coaches the past few seasons to HC gigs right? The only negative to winning is everyone else wants the coaches in your secret sauce. OU just lost their hitting coach.

Yormark probably wouldn’t do that since they are his only shot at maybe winning. The rest of the schools in the big 12 are pretty much canon fodder at this point.

According to most, Tech bound ever since ou got bounced.

That would be justice and hilarious, but wait until they spend all their NIL and do it in the of season.

She probably commands 6 figures at any of the blue bloods, if Tech comes in with 7 figures like they did with Canady, that would be hard to turn down and I wouldn't blame her. Invested correctly, you're set for a good chunk of life, especially considering softball isn't a sport where there's much money after college.

What do you think Texas' chances are? Not sure if she had any love or hate for Texas growing up. Of course Tech and Sooners both think she's going to them. I'm biased of course but I don't see how anyone could want to go to either of those schools barring money (which Texas has). Tech is located in bfe and the town is boring af (having worked in oil and gas I've had to travel around there many times. Same with ou, there ain't nothing in that state, and then you have to listen to one song all the time cause their band apparently only knows that one song. And then there's the hideous colors.

So I was thinking about NIL, wasn't aware of the Sorsby thing today, that for sure is wrong.

I don't like it, but they aren't doing anything illegal. I akin it to when a Longhorn does something like hit a homerun and throws up the Hook'em. If you don't like it, don't let them do it. And Texas is one of the schools that is able to go toe to toe with Tech when it comes to money. It's whether Texas wants to or not. There are other strategies involved.

IF Texas lands Torres, likely either she or Martinez moves to 2nd, that's as good a middle defense as you can get with Henry covering CF behind them.

Torres is on my wishlist, her defense is amazing.

I had a hunch it would happen, she couldn't crack the top 3 and saw very little playing time. Will be just as hard next year with the stud freshman coming in to go with a potential portal pickup as well and Kavan and Wells returning.

I feel like Nichols pretty much solidified her spot with her play in the WCWS. If Beachum is only 3rd base that's probably a no go.
