I think the headliner recruit is pitcher Natalie Susa. But, she got injured all of last season. Hopefully her injury has no long term effects.

I think we are seeing what it is like to be a middle of the pack Big Ten team again after 10 years of being a top of the pack Big Ten team. We had it coming I guess. Macy Richardson may need to step up fast.

As of today, it looks to me like Sydney Schwartz is likely to be what would be termed our “ace” pitcher this year; and therefore likely to get the most innings in the circle for the Gophers this year.

Maybe they need to unjuice the ball.

I would be shocked it this comes true. You can’t keep a legacy powerhouse program (THE legacy powerhouse softball program) down for long.

No Gopher coach will ever win a Big Ten Championship starting next year now that the fools at the Big Ten brought in UCLA, Washington, and Oregon. This year is our last year for any hope at the championship.

You appear to be one of the few then. I see a lot of posts suggesting that the Gophers, year after year, are supposed to (somehow) have more talent than their opponents. As if that is easy.

Let’s just be open and honest about where we are at. Our pitching isn’t going to be the same as so many of us are used to. We were spoiled. Having Moulton, Groenewagen, Fizer, and Pease for the past 13 years was lucky for us. We had a great run of riches. Now we will have a staff that is...

What a great day for Gopher softball! We didn’t get run-ruled by Washington and we beat Georgia Tech. Fans should be out-of-their-minds happy with how this team performed.

Washington is a really good team! I don’t think Gopher fans should be griping about losing to Washington; it’s not our team’s fault losing to a team like that.

That’s a really big ask/demand. I am hoping for one win and a group of Gopher pitchers that collectively don’t let any games get out of control. Our team performance this season will depend so much on the performance of our pitchers in the circle and this coming weekend will obviously be their...

Those three right there are all way above our league. I very much love that we have them on our team and I hope they love being Gophers. But they could easily all be playing for big time Southern or West Coast teams.

This is crazy talk. They are recruiting talent way above their expected level. Gopher softball Fans really need to understand the power realities of college softball and be pleased as to what this program has been able to provide to us fans.

Today is the beginning of the softball season. Use of this message board by the community of fans seems way down to me. That must say something.

And that so happens to be the measure that is applicable to a northern team like Minnesota; and therefore the only measure that matters in the stick and ball sports of ncaa college baseball and softball.

I feel zero emotional connection to UCLA and Washington. All those programs will do is deprive the Gophers of softball championships.

Got to spend one’s time with recruits they actually may come to your school. No sense wasting time on those that will not come anyway.

Uh, in my book, that reputation was quite tarnished already.

I agree with (R)uffda! on almost all points…except for this one [bolded above]. I just can’t get there on that statement.

I hope Gopher baseball fans have rational expectations; it’s Christmas, I can hope.
