Tennessee Softball 2023

3 to 5 national seed sounds good rather be 3 so when you get to Oklahoma Vity for World Series you could stay out of Oklahoma bracket til finals

 

[Volfan2012]

If you were able to catch any of the broadcast last night they were projecting us anywhere from a 3 to 5 seed in the Ncaa. Okahloma and UCLA are 1 and 2 no doubt.

We win the SEC Tourney were a sure three. I don't know where we'll land if we lose the first game or win one and lose one of two and one. Would love to be a three hope the girls have it going for that double header tomorrow.

Should be, Pickens, Payton, White “should be” a good place to start. If a game changer pitcher is there then you exhaust it. Just not sure it’s a need like last year when Ashley was uncertain. Does Simpson stay around, does Charli stay around? If one or both leave then the door opens…but to me not as big of a need as last year. Biggest jump for Pickens will be from this year to next, she’ll go to another level.

imo, simpson has showed more promise than white. white was solid last year, but this year she’s not improved, while i think simpson is better at getting players out and working around people on base.

I think we need to go Pickens and Payton and hit the portal for some pitchers. JMO I don't think were ever going to get much help out of White, Simpson, don't know about Orsini enough to determine if she could help us effectively. I think both White and Simpson should be playing at a lower level.

Not disagreeing, White has exhausted her portal transfer with no Covid fall back. Simpson in limited action might be ok in her role. It’s speculation on my end but not seeing her part of equation outside of limited action.

Agree, both (White/Simpson) would thrive at a school lower level D1 or D2.

What does that mean? The portal is still fuzzy as to the rules.

She was in HS when Covid happened. So she’s not granted the NCAA Covid year

Duplicate

Who am I pulling for? Florida or Kentucky? Who do we match up better against? Thx!

She transferred from Texas after her freshman year. You get one transfer D1, if you opt to transfer again you can transfer down or sit out a year if you choose to go D1 again. That’s the basic transfer rule in place to my understanding

Did not know that about the transfer portal.

KY, should beat either. Something about Florida in the post season you want to avoid if you can.

well looks like we are going to be facing them (Florida)

 

[volfan__18]

Floridas lineup can be very explosive. a scary team for sure.

Leaving early, why do they do that? All the time. Ky just blew it. Why why??

It was a pinch runner. That’s a mistake one of ours would make.

 

[lvocd]

So Tennessee earns the coveted #1 seed and then end up with a tournament schedule that puts them at, it seems to me, a disadvantage. Ugh.

 

[Volfan2012]

We'll be playing Florida tomorrow we did well against them at home see how we do on a neutral field.

The Tennessee pinch runners have in a lot of cases been terrible for Tennessee. Training the pinch runner how to run the bases is something that was severely lacking this season.

You can also get a waiver to transfer again.

What would be her reason of the 3 criteria?
