Please tell me that softball isn't gonna get contaminated with the NIL disease! I'm not saying that it is, but it has to be on someone's radar of bidding for the best players.
Riley Zache C/UT - RH B/T
South Bend, IN (St. Joe High) - Tennessee MOJO - Ramsey/Fisher
I found this interesting. Riley and Berkley actually live in Niles, MI, just across the border from South Bend. They actually cross state lines to go to high...
This commitment is a big one for the Sooners from the 2023 Class. The Sooners have been recruiting her strongly for probably two years when they could actually make contact due to COVID. A...

She seems very calm and relaxed, mature beyond her age. Could be a leader, a captain type. At least at this point.
In today's games at the WCWS is the first set of elimination games. In the first game from the top half of the bracket will be Alabama playing Duke with the Blue Devils being the home team a6 6PM. The second game will be Stanford against Oklahoma...

KG is mentioned as a top prospect for coach at Auburn. Job has been open since March.
While most of the college softball world is focused on the upcoming Women’s College World Series at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Auburn softball fans...
There are two games today at the WCWS, two big games in my mind. the reason for the 'bigness' is the schedule. The two winners of the games today wil only have to win one game of two possible games on Monday to reach the WCWS Finals. The two losing...

Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the Sooners win over UCLA Saturday.
The only articles I could find just rehash what happened to her. Is she OK?

I think it is concussion protocol. That usually means observing for 24 hours. Fortunately we don't play again until Monday, so the evaluation should complete tomorrow afternoon and if all is well, she should potentially be able to start again. I...
I'm working and not able to watch. It is the top of the 2nd and Duke just homered :(. 1-0 Duke.
It seemed a little bumpy at times but Maxwell gets out of the inning. Going to the bottom of the 2nd with Duke leading 1-0.
Left 2 on base in the bottom...

Messed up on our base running in the 2nd inning. Not sure why runners were sent.
Agreed - would have been nice to see a little bit better base running to get one of them in (instead of Brito gettin tagged out trying to get home).
What is the “protocol” for our softball alums that are now coaching other places that want to attend the WCWS?
Wear Sooner gear and sit with their sisters on alumni row?
Wear their current team gear and sit with sisters?
Wear current gear and sit...

I know Paige Parker wore OU gear in the last two years at the WCWS. I think it is about their alumni when they come to the WCWS. Maybe they had to discuss it with their current boss, but I think it is okay.
I'm thinking May? But she has been lights out as a reliever. Would we start Kelly/Deal and then bring in May maybe?

I agree I think we probably start Maxwell. I like what Tropical brought up about Keeney. I think the good part is that UCLA isn't familiar with Maxwell from what I remember - so that should bode well for us I think. I also believe Kelly hasn't been...
The Oklahoma Sooners bats were very much on display on Thursday afternoon against Duke as they powered the Sooners to a 9-1 win in run-rule fashion with 2 outs in the bottom of the 6th on a Alyssa Brito 2-RBI single. The Sooners picked up 11 hits...

Great write-up - one small nit that might be important to someone - the Florida Texas game Saturday night is on espn, not abc.
You are right, my mistake. I thought both games would be on ESPN.
I truly am not trying to pile on the Huskies in any way. I am actually worried that this is a tale of the portal and what unrestricted player movement can cause. That and conference realignment being a norm most years rather than a once in a couple...

I'm not sure that it's so much any kind of systemic issue within the program myself. But there are some curious events that seemed to have convergence.
I do think the pending doom of joining the B1G and the huge travel issues were a motivating...
The first thing to discuss is the weather. I think that all the games might get played today. If they get started by Noon or 1 PM, at least three games will likely get played. ESPN really wants that Texas-Stanford game to be played in prime time...

Here is a recap of the three other games played on Thursday. The weather gave everyone a break as the rain was over by 11:30-ish and the four games were played relatively quickly to get all four games played, Here is what I thought about each game...
For me, there are two themes about the WCWS today, Wednesday, the day before the WCWS starts on Thursday with a rainy forecasts for the first two days of the WCWS.
#1 - The weather looks a bit ominous for Thursday so the schedule could become very...
