    Especially if that freshman comes in thinking their shite doesn't stink, I'm sure that will go over real well with team.

    IMO, Texas has one of the smartest legal teams in the nation. While the last couple of weeks have been frustrating from a recruiting standpoint. I trust that the Texas team has thought through this current landscape and has decided on a specific strategy that they felt was best, whether it’s the right strategy is to be determined, but I’m sure they didn’t get caught blind.

    A lot of people underestimate how critical the AD role is - look at what CDC has done for Texas and what other ADs have not been able to do for other schools like Texas' rivals . . .

    I definitely agree with you, to me, it's got nothing to do with race, it's got everything to do with the primary audience are men, who, as you say, are a bunch of sexist pigs. I will put myself in that boat. Look at the most popular female athletes, for the most part, in addition to being good, they are attractive. To name a few: Livvy Dunne or however she spells her name, Alex Morgan, Paige Spiranac, Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova, Sydney McLaughlin, Sophie Cunningham, etc. The same can be said for any other industry - Taylor Swift would not be anywhere near as popular as she is if she was fugly. Dua Lipa, Angelina Jolie, etc.

    But the ones currently on the roster will likely enter the portal, those are the players Texas would likely go after this fall, not the HS recruits.

    All these other schools blowing their wad (money) now while Sark and Texas strategize. It's a long way until signing day and while they may not get all the players they want - it's fine, they will build a competitive roster that will compete for championships. As someone who sometimes gives money to the school when it is in our budget, I appreciate them spending it wisely and not frivolously tossing dollars out at will.

    Not even a couple of years imo, this fall teams will find out real fast. Can the boosters keep up?

    It's become a business and roster management is very key, another aspect is, if you give a bunch of money to a recruit, the current players look at it and say, I think I'm worth more than that - so come portal time, they could demand more money or hit the portal. It's a very delicate process, which I'm glad I'm not responsible for.

    Though it's frustrating, if what Bobby said about Sark focusing on the roster versus high school recruits, I'm good with it. Like the great DKR said, dance with the one that brung ya.

    Saw that Georgia signed Lindemuth from Tech. They are going to be tough competition next year, they got their ace in the pitcher from UCLA (former #1 recruit) and some other key signings. SEC softball, much like baseball, is no joke. It's a friggin gauntlet just to get through the regular season.

    I wanted to see some stud pickups that were available, but it looks like Coach is picking up potential complimentary players to the star core instead of trying to replace them. It's a fine line when you have good recruits coming in. It's also the opposite of what tech is doing (they literally trying to replace current players with all americans from other teams). What Coach is doing is similar to Sark's approach to the football team, use the portal to fill gaps from recruiting, not replace the ones that decided to sign with you in the first place.

    They were pretty consistent on the answers lol

    That looks like a left handed glove’s , the webbing is where her thumb and forefinger are.

    Apparently they all like to do the horns up the McConaughey way.

    Anyone have an idea who this article is referring to? I searched Anne Wallace and this article came up and it's only about a week old. https://nextfootballnews.com/longhorns-hoping-to-copy-anne-wallace-contract-top-national-star-commit-to-texas-longhorns-softball-offers-rejected-from-byu-nebraska-auburn-oregon-tennessee-powerhouse-for-tech/

    I'm still hoping they land Lindemuth from Tech, she's a good talent at 3B.
  17. HookemTexas
    I don't think the gap is that big, feel like Texas was doing pretty well until Spencer went down.
  18. HookemTexas
    The write up is a bit fluffy compared to the stats posted. .250 avg in 16 at bats means she was 4/16 against mainly big 12 competition, and a "top option" on the base paths with 4/6 stolen bases . . . so okie lite never stole any bases? Ran track in high school so likely a base running give a person a break sub I'm guessing kind of like Vanessa Quiroga was this past year.

    This is pretty much a good amount of the Texas haters in the SEC (especially the Aggies). They were hoping Texas would fall on their face and get dominated so they could laugh and say "now you're in the big boy league". Much to their surprise, Texas came in and competed in almost every sport, proceeded to win the all sports trophy, as well as the director's cup. Now they all have egg on their face because they can't bring themselves to admit that Texas was going to be good in whatever league they played in. Equally as funny are the big 12 fans who clap that they are ok without Texas and ou. It must have really pained Yormark to see Tech lose to the Longhorns in the softball championship because we know how much he loves Tech.

    It would be a great get and fill the void left by Scott’s graduation imo.
  21. HookemTexas
    Yea Wells, can also hit. Question is whether it translates from a small school or flame out like Simpson did. Simpson came in as a freshmen expecting to compete for Texas records.
  22. HookemTexas
    One of the best still available in the portal after tech’s haul. i would have liked the pitcher from ucla as well to give Kavan some help but Georgia picked her up, former #1 recruit. Guess they are hoping Wells is the real deal. Still have Cambria and Citlaly as well.
  23. HookemTexas
    Stewart probably moves to 1B with Jolie Mitchel graduating. That leaves an opening in LF which would have been Kaydee Bennett, who while is extremely fast doesn't really hit for average or power. Bennett is best utilized in more of a running substitute or give a player a break role.
  24. HookemTexas
    If Wisconsin is successful, how many school sue Texas Tech softball?
  25. HookemTexas
    He's part owner in a gym and I believe some other places in Houston, I don't think he's broke, but he's not celebrity rich like he should be given his NFL contracts were.
