That’s a decent start. They need to convince more to do the same. Half the team doesn’t belong in the SEC.


The roster needs movement in places but don’t think Brandon and Smith are the ones you want.

Morgan Smith was one of the few highlights at the end of the year. Not someone you wanted to lose.

Florida fans were asking a lot of questions about Smith when they played in Baton Rouge.

Interestingly enough, the offense wasn't the issue this year. In conference play, LSU actually had the third highest batting average and scored the second most runs in the SEC. (for all the pundits saying fire Dobson)

Pitching and defense is what let this team down this year.

I am guessing Brandon feels she didn't get many chances to play. Beaten out by Redoutey, Smith and sometimes Raeleen in RF. So she's leaving for somewhere to play more. Maybe a non P 5 school in Texas

Also, as bad as our pitching was, Smith may still want to pitch and she either wasn't good enough or given a chance to pitch here.

In any event, I can understand why those players are leaving.

With regard to Brown, if you are a catcher and didn't get a chance to catch here and with Maci coming in, she also needs to find a lower class school if she wants to play

I agree . I liked Smith and felt like she has great potential. BT had her playing on the last games but I guess that wasn’t enough to dissuade her from transferring.
BT definitely needs to use the transfer portal , and look for new coaching assistants that bring some good needed energy to the team and that are able to develop the talent : improve catching, fielding, batting, bunting and pitching.
Maybe someone knowledgeable and respected ,from outside the team ,could evaluate the softball situation and report their findings and recommendations to SW and to BT.
