Quite average numbers but good to see Wisconsin losing players

Wisconsin P Paytn Monticelli is entering the transfer portal, she announced. As a freshman in 2023, Monticelli posted a 2.71 ERA, a .235 opponent's batting average, and 82 strikeouts in 80 innings of work.

Transferred to Oklahoma, sure seems like better options were available in portal

The NU softball team is now listed as one of the problem teams just like the football team and Pat Fitzgerald according to one of the new lawsuits.

That whole athletic department needs an overhaul.

Some of it is getting to be a stretch for what is getting coaches sued/punished. Players accusing coaches of making them run sprints as punishment for breaking team rules is something that happens in every level every sport
 



Taryn Kern transfers to Stanford… someone once responded to one of my Softball board posts by writing that it was impossible (yes, impossible) to transfer to Stanford.

A quick google says their acceptance rate is 1-4%. But I'd bet athletes have an easier time, or at least make up a good portion of those transfers.

It's a good start for her. She is also recognizing that you can't always start at a "name" school and need to work your way up.

That and her alma mater already has one that isn't going anywhere.
 

Vawter from Stanford and Jones from Unc via gophers to South Carolina
 

Nice MN Daily article about Jessa Snippes:

Softball recruit Jessa Snippes looks ahead to joining UMN

Pitcher Jessa Snippes stands out amongst Gophers softball’s talented recruiting class. The Minnesota native was named 2023 Ms. Softball and 2022-23 Minnesota Softball’s Gatorade Player of the Year. During her senior year at Rosemount High School, she finished 17-0 with a 1.29 ERA in the regular...

Our softball conference just got crazy!
 




The BIG is suddenly a power softball conference. One could argue the top 3 softball programs in the Pac12 over the past decade (especially now that Candrea retired) are now conference foes.

Until Patty retires it's still a competition for second place
 

Same thing was said in Women’s BB about Connecticut. South Carolina has done okay the last few years. Once this NIL is figured out by more teams, Oklahoma’s run will end.

They can't play everyone each year. I'm assuming they'll come up with a different type of scheduling than they've done anytime before. But when you think about it, the flight is two more hours? Not a big deal.

Problem is all the coast to coast travel with someone losing 3 hours on time zones and a 4-5 hour flight. Be better off scheduling in pods where you spend whole week on the coast playing multiple teams and only have to make 1 flight each way.

UConn just can't stay healthy, significantly more talent than LSU but injury bug already started with freshman center torn Achilles in international play

And the Gophers have just been pushed further down the softball power rankings in the Big Ten.

As a softball fanatic, I could always hope that my team could make a run and at least win one tournament, the Big Ten tournament. Now I’ll be dead before that happens again. Actually, my kids will probably be dead by then too - and they’re presently in elementary school.
