Much needed arm for you all. Congrats on the get

What a shame Kikki wasn’t drafted for AU and selected to the USA Team. Tough to say she’s not one of the best outfielders in the country.

I was told she was ready to move on and be done. One of the best to play OF.

I would think for most her season was great, but for her it had to be frustrating at times. There comes a point where you move on from the game. If softball had a real pro league it might be different.

I heard she was done playing well before the draft. Agree, if real money was involved not sure she would have been back for a 5th year.

Rylie West played in AU and although she is great you’d have to think that they’d jump at the opportunity to have Kiki’s numbers and star power on a team. Had to be a personal choice from her IMO

With the addition of Sage I am assuming Elsa is most likely staying for her senior year?

Also the official softball account is following Ryan Brown & if I missed something that account doesn’t following random players unless they are committed here or they played and recently transferred out

Interesting and reactive choice with the team heavy on team numbers (23 now without) and not a need/place for her where she helps. If she is indeed onboard. Had we lost 3-5 more in the portal, sure.

Something to watch, we are an injury away with Nugent to not having a catcher.

we converted a left handed transfer and inserted her during Jackie’s time for a reason. Strong arm but has limited experience for a reason heading into year 3.

She did not make herself available for the AU draft. As others have said, made it clear to the pro leagues and Team USA back in April that whenever Tennessee was done, so was her career.

100% agree. Why play for peanuts when you can get on with life and make real money.

A player in AU or team USA can make about $45k in a summer between salary and very minor endorsements. I don’t consider that peanuts for three months worth of work.

If that’s the case do we even have room? Also that would be A TON of pitchers next year

Good luck to them with that.

???? Room ??? There is no questions about room anymore with the NIL and transfer being limitless

You’re asking about room… you pick up the best player in college softball no matter what. I don’t care if you have 30 players or 8 pitchers. Whoever picks up Canady wins a national championship.
