Lincoln committing doesn’t suddenly erase Bordi from the roster. Bordi was a mid‑year transfer, which means she was never eligible for 2026 anyway. Her first playable season is 2027 - that’s been the situation since the day she enrolled. And yeah, I’ve seen the other boards inventing ‘mental reasons’ or claiming she’s out. That’s message‑board fan fiction. I haven’t seen a single credible report that she is playing next year or that she isn’t. Texas hasn’t said a word. White hasn’t said a word. Unless i am missing something, going to keep assuming Bordi will be on the team next year, until she isn't. So no, Lincoln didn’t push her out. Lincoln didn’t change NCAA rules. Lincoln didn’t rewrite the calendar. This is just people connecting dots that aren’t even on the same page.

Stoops has an actual career. Sorsby has an injunction. One guy rebuilt an SEC program and got hired to run A&M. The other is going to be remembered as ‘that Tech QB who bet on games.’ If you’re seriously comparing those two, you’ve told on yourself more than you think

Nothing yet. Both Zache sisters are still in the portal and neither has announced a landing spot. Berkley’s the pitcher, and she’s got upside, but there’s been zero public movement from either one so far. If you’re hearing anything different, feel free to share - but as of now, they’re both just sitting in the portal.

If you’re asking about budgets because you think Texas is getting out‑spent for elite talent, that’s not what’s happening. Texas is already in the $3.5M–$4M softball‑budget range, which puts them ahead of almost everyone not named Oklahoma. So this isn’t a “Texas can’t keep up financially” issue. What Mike does is different: he doesn’t panic‑shop the portal or chase every 5‑star just to win a headline. His whole model is development, fit, and long‑term roster stability, then using the portal only to plug specific needs. Other programs are out there throwing offers at anything that moves - Texas doesn’t need to operate that way. So if the question is “budget vs. elite talent,” the answer is simple: Texas has the budget. Texas has the talent. Texas just doesn’t recruit like a desperate program. Back‑to‑back titles say the approach works.

That’s actually a really interesting wrinkle - Scholer being nominated by Obama first and then renominated by Trump tells you she’s viewed as a straight‑shooter by both sides. Add in the Rice undergrad + Cornell Law pedigree and the fact she was a well‑respected litigator before taking the bench, and you’re right: this isn’t going to be some circus where one side games the process. And the Big 12 bringing in a BYU‑trained attorney who already handled the House settlement shows they’re not sending in the JV team either. Both sides are lawyered‑up with people who know the landscape and won’t get cute.

Was thinking about this yesterday....Could it be that White is waiting to see what happens with Singleton at Cal? Honestly, it lines up. Cal does their postseason evaluations in late May through June, and if they’re going to make a move on Singleton, it’ll happen before July 1 when most contracts roll over. That’s the exact window we’re in right now. And remember - Singleton loved working for White, and White trusted him more than just about any assistant he’s had. If Singleton suddenly becomes available, he jumps straight to the top of Texas’ board as a hitting coach. That’s not speculation, that’s just how the relationships and timing work in this sport. So the silence from Texas right now might not be “nothing happening.” It might be White keeping the lane open until Cal finishes their review. If Cal keeps Singleton, Texas moves on. If Cal lets him go, he becomes the most logical fit on the market. Either way, we should know a whole lot more by July 1 - Has anyone else thought about this? Far‑fetched, or actually pretty reasonable?

Doesn't he announce 6/19? hope you are right

HI to you too

Exactly. Texas isn’t going to blow up its internal NIL structure for one person. The top of the pay scale is already set by players like Kavon and Stewart, and nobody is getting slotted above them. That’s how you keep the locker room stable. Outside endorsements don’t mess with that balance either - those are individual deals, not team‑funded money. The only number that matters inside the program is the team NIL number, and Texas has kept that consistent. That’s why Texas has almost no portal losses, and the few that leave are playing‑time girls, not culture one's. The balance is working.

A lot of fans came out to watch/get an autograph from Teagan today

Didn't watch game, but did watch Brunson destroy the Spurs

won't be able to watch the whole game Hook 'em

who is right?

Going to guess Arkansas (or) OSU from what i've been reading. Don't think we are going after her(just an opinion). Going to guess she will end up at Arkansas - they have the most innings available of the two. OSU needs a No. 2 behind their ace, but but not ace‑level volume. Then again, there is Florida - but some are saying Florida is the least predictable of the three. With Heavener going to Tech, don't think we are going after a pitcher now...but have been wrong many, many times before.

Don't count South out from getting a lot of playing time this year at catcher.

Alexi Lalas still being on the analyst desk is the clearest proof that networks don’t actually care about analysis - they care about noise. He’s not there to break down tactics, he’s there to say something loud enough that people tweet about it. That’s literally his whole job description at this point. If you want actual insight, you’re watching the wrong broadcast. If you want a guy who mistakes volume for expertise, well… that’s why Lalas keeps getting renewed.

He the best

The funniest part? A&M tying USC in men’s outdoor track is what sealed it for Texas. If USC wins that event, they pass us. Instead, the Aggies accidentally delivered the trophy to Austin. You can’t script it better. Bottom line: Texas isn’t just competitive - Texas is the standard. Football’s rising, basketball’s stabilized, softball just broke through, and the entire athletic department is operating at a level nobody else is matching. Another year, another Cup. Another reminder who runs college athletics.

Well called game by Ref

Spelled her name wrong above....Yes, Azua

Apparently, Azuna is visiting Texas today.

And the funniest part? That video wasn’t even meant for the fans - it was Tech trying to convince themselves they still run a serious operation. Every line was vague, empty, and terrified of specifics. They didn’t deny anything. They didn’t address anything. They just wrapped all their scandals in soft lighting and hoped nobody noticed the stench. It was a PR lullaby. A crisis‑management bedtime story. A “please clap” moment dressed up as integrity. If that’s the standard in Lubbock now, no wonder the rest of the country is laughing.

Integrity? Tech fans chanting that word after that video is the funniest thing to come out of Lubbock since the last dust storm tried to relocate the entire city. Your program has spent the last month tripping over its own lies, scandals, and self‑inflicted humiliation, and you’re over here acting like a pre‑recorded apology‑video‑with‑background‑music is some kind of moral high ground. Your coach lied publicly and got exposed. Your booster went on radio pretending he could buy out games like he’s the commissioner of college football. Your QB got permanently banned for betting on his own team - the NCAA basically hit him with the sports equivalent of a restraining order. Your AD has been hiding behind scripted videos because he knows the second he takes real questions, the whole façade collapses. And YOU want to talk about integrity? Tech talking about integrity is like a pickpocket giving a TED Talk on financial ethics. That video wasn’t leadership. It was a hostage note from an athletic department begging the rest of the country to stop laughing at them. Spoiler: we’re not stopping
