Are we getting an outfielder? Seems like Lorenz going to UK,


Has Char committed there?? I think we still may get one but we struck out on Hannah Coor for sure (committed to Nebraska). About five others not yet announced still on board that I think could be in play:

Dakota Kennedy (AZ): 2x All American Top outfielder left on board and everyone after her. Visited TX Tech--will she be a late Red Raider add?

Kaiah Altmeyer (AZ): Kennedy's teammate and solid outtie. Been quiet on her but heard she visited TX along with Spearman.

Desirae Spearman (NM St): 20+ homeruns (although most against mid-major pitchers), but TX on her hard.

Char Lorenz (LV): Thought we had good shot at her given the hitting coach recruited her, but based on your note maybe not!

Maya Bland (OU): Coor's teammate but spot player for last two years at OU. I think she's a potential add given trend of most recent adds.

Neal signaled a commit a couple hours ago then followed it up with Burrow smoking the cigar.

This is the other big nat we needed to solidify the middle of the order. I think the offense can be upper-level like it was last year.

I still feel like we need one more veteran pitcher from the portal.

It’s been a few hours, I thought Casual would’ve been by to say she’s not SEC caliber by now.

The struggle is there really isn’t many high level pitchers left in the portal.

Maya Johnson from Belmont is expected to end up at tOSU after just becoming a licensed nurse in the state of Ohio.

Desirae Spearman, the former Conference USA Player of the year out of New Mexico State, came on a visit but must’ve gotten offered more NIL in Lubbock as she just committed to Texas Tech.

Abby Dunning from BC also committed elsewhere to Clemson after taking an official visit with us.

Our best shot would be Miali Guachino out of Ole Miss who just entered the portal the other day. she was a D1 Softball second team freshman All-American, and lead the nation in strikeouts for a decent amount of last season; however, it’s suspected she wants to return home to Southern California and join UCLA. I do know they are trying to get her in for a visit in the next week or so.

Agree on Miali. Heard the same thing. UCLA has inside track I hear. And they are desperate for pitching so I'm certain they'll roll out the red carpet.

Amazing the spearman chick would sign with Tech just to ride the pine. As if Terry and canady aren’t going to eat 95% of the reps

So those of you who follow the recruits, which of the freshmen have the potential to pitch meaningful innings next year?

Heavener will clearly be the ace going in, Cellura feels like #2, and I think Clopton has the potential to be an important piece. What about the freshmen?

We have 3 incoming freshmen pitchers.

Of the 3, Ashlin Mowery is the top ranked, reaching as high as overall #17 in the rankings. She is another velocity pitcher but on the right side, which will give a nice compliment to Heavener. She also has a pretty good bat, so could definitely hit for herself when she gets in the rotation.

Lauryn Soeken out of Katy, Texas could also work her way into the rotation and in my opinion has the most potential. She has achieved up to a #22 overall ranking across platforms. She’s already shown success against some of the top high schools throughout the state of Texas, so I think she has a good shot to break out and earn the Sunday started spot if we can’t pickup another pitcher via the portal. She is more of a strikeout type of pitcher similar to Heavener but has really good numbers in strikeouts, ERA & opp BA.

Cali Deal is the final incoming freshman pitcher and is a Louisiana native out of Quitman who pitches from the left side. She is a two time state champion and was ranked as high as #34 in the rankings. She also plays for one of the top travel ball teams in Texas Bombers and has worked alongside all time great Cat Osterman over the years on her pitching. From what I’ve seen, she has a lot of upside, but I think it may take her first year to work on some things to get to the level of competing in the SEC.

Overall I think all 3 have a lot of potential to earn their spots. They provide 3 different looks and a lot more depth than we’ve had in a while. It’s going to take BT to give them the opportunities to gain that experience in learn in both the offseason and some early mid week games to prepare them for the daunting schedule we experience in the second half of the season.
