Gopher Softball 2025

Texas Tech buys their best pitcher and top four home run hitters from Stanford, Washington and Louisiana and plays for a national title. There's hope for everyone.
 



The problem I see with this is I don’t think we have anyone or any group that will step up with that kind of money
With how dominant pitching is in fast pitch, could it be the easiest sport to “buy” a championship? I was shocked to hear over a million for the Tech pitcher.

Yes, it's possible to buy a dominant pitcher for over a million. It's also possible to grind her into the ground pitching endless innings in a row to pursue that championship, which Stanford tried to do with her and now Texas Tech, too.
 




Nope. Given that Coyle has historically moved quickly in cases like this, I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves things as is.
Ugh. Wish we could get some experienced coaches in this program. Players deserve better.

Has anyone hit the portal yet?
 






That doesn’t surprise me. She hardly saw any action and she struggled during most of her outings. Did Richardson re-injured herself after her brief appearances?
I don't know if she re-injured herself. But, she may have not recovered enough to pitch effectively. So, they may have shut her down to save her year of eligibility.
 




I thought I read somewhere that she won't be used as a pitcher. Do we know if she plays other positions? Maybe I am getting her mixed up with someone else.
You're right. The original information regarding her commitment indicated she would be playing shortstop.
