re: LSU softball batting anaylsis by player

We will have to agree to disagree. In my opinion, she just isn't as good as you think she is. You keep talking all about the awards etc. Holy smoke, do you know how many of these high school all americans go to small schools to play softball. Those awards are to do as much with outrageous high school stats...and a lot to do with their high school coaches nominating them and pushing for them. Also a high school Coach has to belong to certain organization to even put their kids up for consideration...most high school coaches don't waist their time.

You talk about her like she is the second coming...
You did the same thing last year before she even stepped foot on campus. She is just not as good as you think she is and the coaches must see it the same way I do, or she would be out there playing. This is big time college sports...coaches play kids that make their team better, this isn't some local podunk high school program.

I have not found one real recruiting service that has her anywhere near the top of this class.

But let's step back for a minute, let's say you are right and I am wrong about her talent level. How do you know she isn't playing because she is a bad teammate or that she causes too much drama on the team. This is girls softball and there have been many cases of teammates dating and having drama. Do you think any of that could be possible?

Again, nothing against the poor girl. She was built up to be something that I am not sure anyone could have lived up to be. Like the person said earlier....she was playing against girls 4 and 5 years younger than her. That surely wasn't something that prepared her for this.

You seem knowledgeable about the sport. But you seem to have this unbelievable love for this kid and I admire it. But if you truly love this kid that much, maybe you should back off the hype and let her talent speak for itself. I believe you might have over done it already and turned people off to her....because of all the whining about unfair California bias and everything else.

If your a true fan, sit back and enjoy what they are doing. This junior and senior class has been to 2 consecutive world series. 270+ teams shoot for that every year and only 8 make it. They must be doing something right!
