    She's a double-transfer and listed as a Junior. So...I wonder what the transfer-and-wait rule would be for her.

    Wow great pickup for Okie State. Carrie Eberle was ACC pitcher of the year. 25-8 record in 2019 and a career batting average of .265. She's not Samantha Show but she obviously wants to join a team with potential to go to the WCWS. The Cowgirls are a feisty team and fun to watch. The Big 12 just continues to get better with these transfers.

    Makes me go "Hmmmm". They signed EIGHT players for the 2020 season. Playing time, playing time.....

    There's no playing time anymore in college. Most rosters have about 25 players and only 10 have any meaningful playing time. Just too much supply of players available. If I had it to do all over again I would have gotten my daughter into golf instead.

    Okay, looking back she entered the transfer portal 6/17.

    I mean....she's already got pictures in a Texas jersey?

    Yeah, I wonder what that means for the current and future catchers at UT?

    Well, bummer that my check of the transfer portal found Elicia Espinosa on the transfer list. Someone had mentioned they heard she was a potential to be a transfer.....but I had seen her in a few twitter pictures for the recently held Summer Prospect camp held on campus. So....I had thought she would stick it out.

    Oh well, only saw her bat a handful of times and don't really know what we had in her I guess.

    Reported on another thread. Here for record keeping.

    Was always a fan of her and her attitude. But, man whenever she was up to bat
    and we had runners on base, I was always wincing.

    Alysen Febrey from Georgia just announced she would be entering the transfer portal. She would be a Great pick up for Texas. Named NFCA Second Team All-Southeast Region…Started all 61 games at first base… Ended the season with a .389 batting average, 37 runs scored, 72 hits (sixth in the SEC) and nine home runs… Finished second in the SEC with 18 doubles. The only downside I see is she played first base where I think we are loaded. But she can hit and has much better batting numbers than Colleen Sullivan who committed to Texas from UCLA. Her bio information is at the bottom of this post. Just saying!

    Alysen Febrey - 2019 - Softball - University of Georgia Athletics

    In regards to the transfer portal, I think that there are too many players and not enough landing spots. There are those who announce they are or have entered the portal and then a few days later, they announce a new home. Those players, they started the under-the-table discussions long ago. Then there are those like our 2 players who are still without a home. Can't come back and maybe they're not getting favorable responses from their inquires?

    Logical explanation racer. I would suspect they used all of their club influence in getting to Texas and have failed/are failing to generate interest the second time around. They probably will end up stepping down a rung or two. There is nothing wrong with that if they are playing for the love of the game.

    You are on target racer. If I announced I was putting my name in the transfer portal today I would want to know I had an acceptable landing spot lined up. When looking at the list of girls in the portal there are a lot without any destination. They may be left out in the cold for a transfer. Here it is only a month away from school starting.

    In looking at the transfer portal today I saw that Elica Espinosa has committed to Utah! Wish her the best of luck! Hope Chloe Romero finds a good landing spot now!

    Thanks for that alert. Looks like all but one player from Baylor have found new homes or in the case of Schattle, resolved. It looks the rich (OU and OSU) got richer in some of these transfers. I don't know how we ended up with the freshman catcher/1B from the national championship team. Maybe we're considered an up-and-coming team now. Now, if we can do better than "3rd" in our own small conference.

    I am still hoping we get Alysen Febrey from Georgia! She has not committed anywhere yet and she appears to be the best remaining player in the transfer portal. Has some very good batting stats!

    This seems like a lot of players may have made a bad decision. Almost 30% did not find a school that would take them!
