This kind of reminds me of the sand aggy softball players. Look, if you're happy with where you've ended up, good for you. But I'm a firm believer in, if you're truly happy where you're at, you're not thinking about where you left, you're thinking about the future. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel the need to justify yourself. You don't see Cam Coleman posting stuff about Auburn should have paid him, or any of the other players who just transferred to Texas. At least not that I've seen.

Unless they fall off a cliff, softball should definitely be in contention for the post season and a legit chance at the championship. Of all the teams on campus, the probably would have the best odds (outside of Men's Swimming & Diving and Rowing) to play for the ship.

Staying in college also allows them to wait for the ausl to grow and possibly when they go pro the pay is better.

CDC’s track record is to wait for the contract to run out and not renew but replace (unless it’s forced upon him like with Beard). Anyone happen to know when coach Flo’s contract runs out?

Interesting thing about the new 5 for 5 rule is that some colleges are pulling offers from current commits. Word is that Memphis and Texas Tech has done that already so they can keep their transfers that they paid a ton for. Don’t think Texas has since their recruits are elite tier.

That's all the same coach so technically you can fix it all at once.

Coach White has softball set up to be competing for championships for a while. Expectations have been elevated much like the volleyball team. Hopefully Coach Bates gets Soccer there and with WBB that takes care of the mandatory women's sports for director's cup. The men's side have some catching up to do.

There's not a lot of info on soccer. When you say Coach Bates is cooking, could you provide some insight? Are the recruits top of the class? Status of the team if there's any info. Thanks!

Beachum still in the portal with no home is a bit surprising. Potentially best player still in the portal.

During OU's run of dominance, except for a couple of recruited players, they got the best transfer pitcher almost every year. With public NIL, that run has stopped for now. Jordy Frahm Bahl went home, Karlyn Pickens stayed home, Canady went to Tech, Kavan stayed at Texas, Terry went to Tech, Fischer went to Georgia, etc.

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.
