7 are coming out in, my apologies.

The roster is at 23: https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/softball/roster 6 are graduating and 6 freshmen are coming in. Victoria Hunter is forging her final year of eligibility. There are rumors Cambria is leaving. Mike White needs to have hard conversations. Texas needs a good pitcher to complement Teagan and some good bats. White cannot continue to rely on Freshmen.

I’m tired of people saying White never wins game 1. This team is very different than previous years and lacks both pitching and hitting. This team is in serious trouble. I don’t see them in OKC.

I understand that but this is not a typical series. Texas is playing Wagner game 1. I can see several scenarios where TK either doesn’t play or has a limited role. It might even be pitch by committee, similar to game 2 of the OU series. Last year, Kavan did not pitch in game 1 against Eastern Illinois; Cam started and pitched 3 innings, then Citlaly pitched 2 innings. Teagan started game 2 against Michigan and pitched 3.1 innings. Citlaly and Sophia Simpson finished the game. TK pitched the entire third game against UCF. Texas needs Kavan for game 2 and 3, not Wagner.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Does Kavan even play in game 1?

I don’t know why anyone is laughing. This is the truth. Texas lost three good players in the portal and brought in one that will contribute. I will be shocked if this team advances to the Sweet 16. Rebuilding during Booker’s senior year is maddening. There is 12 on this roster and two will not contribute. 10 is thin. Five of those ten are freshmen in a difficult conference. Anyone who thinks Texas is better than SC, LSU, Vanderbilt and Kentucky right now is not paying attention. Tennessee might even be better because Caldwell found 15 players that are good and fit her system. I’m truly at a loss for words.

It’s a player who was a backup at Marquette. This program is so unserious.

You’re forgetting Vanderbilt who I’d put above Texas. And honestly, I’d put Kentucky and probably Tennessee above Texas, too. I’m sorry, I might love Texas, but I’m a realist. I don’t know what’s going on with this program but it’s Madison and a lot of youth. That’s risky and scary, in my opinion, and I am disappointed it’s come to this for Booker’s senior year.

Sira Thienou is supposed to visit this weekend. However, she’s at Auburn now and they’re hoping she doesn’t leave without committing.

Texas tried. She chose LSU.

The silence on this topic is deafening. Texas lost three players to the portal and has only added one. Since the one addition, Texas has not done a single thing and no quality players are left. Texas has needs and roster spots to fill regardless of the freshmen class I am tired of hearing about. This is frustrating. I’ve never been so disappointed in Vic.

Austin. Oklahoma goes to College Station.

This is true and next weekend will be a tough series against a good Arkansas team. A&M has Oklahoma.

When Texas is losing games and losing to SC, LSU, Vanderbilt and Tennessee, people will absolutely remember portal failure.
