So what is the advantage of Deal and Guerin staying knowing transfers will come in and keep them on the bench?

The decision has to be made now if she pitches this year for future investment. Player talent is about to get thin. Plus only landed 1 of 8 top pitchers in 2023 and 24 class. There will be a huge hole in the pitching world for the next few years. Why would Canady leave the academics of Stanford espe...

Slim chance she pitches this weekend. Even if she were to pitch, there is an adjustment period. Gasso wants ready made pitchers to allow Rocha to tweak them. Portal will be very slim and hearing maybe half the quality of last year if that. I expect OU to be Pitcher Transfer U from here on out but th...

Not negative on Patty at all. She takes it year by year now with the portal. She has the ability to address the needs very quick. My only issue is the portal has shrunk with Covid players out. It will be interesting to watch.

Gasso grabs talent and does just enough to appease the masses. Guerin has only pitched to the OU hitters for the past year. Even if she were to play tomorrow, there will be nerves. Gasso is about today, she doesn’t worry about tomorrow or next years team until the season is over. The portal has shru...

Everything ok with SJ?

Guerin wasn’t recruited by Rocha.

As a travel ball coach recommending schools, the first thing I look at is turnover rate of entering classes. Knowing 3-4 leaving, the turnover rate is below 50%. Live on the portal and you will die especially Covid kids gone, nil and reputation.

I think it’s safe to say certain players see the future and don’t care. May could care less of anyone’s opinion at this point. All goes to plan expect 3-4 in the portal. OU dominance is over for a while after this season. Nicole will take her rings and move on down the road.

Deal yes, Guerin no

I don’t disagree with Justin’s statement. Take Jordy out of the equation as she is once in a lifetime pitcher, Patty has taken ready made pitchers but I don’t remember a freshman to senior pitcher Rocha has developed at OU. Reminder Nicole is a Missy Lombardi recruit along with Guerin. Just a though...

Karlie is ready to go!

Monti will red shirt for sure.

Not 100% but closely tied to the program as an uncle. First reaction is to jump ship but people closely reviewing their options this morning. I doubt much can be done and stuck.

Maxwell signed. One pitcher will transfer. I don’t think they can make a move until December or next year but one pitcher will be gone!

The running for KM is between aTm and Georgia. 2 horse show!
