Absolutely, Poncho's 31 HRs is a Louisiana state record. They must play in a tiny park compared to most softball venues.

Poncho is an incredibly strong athlete. The only knock is they do not play the best competition so numbers will be artificially inflated. That issue can be applied to a lot of athletes and programs depending on where and who they play. What she faces on normal weekends isn't the same caliber say a kid in southern Cali is facing weekly.

That said she is talented and a very good hitter. Its no coincidence she is hearing from Florida St, Alabama, and many many other major programs. Hope we can keep her home

In recruiting update, LSU is in contact with Hannah Carson from Michigan.

Catcher who was named 2nd team all Big 10, hitting .329 with 12 doubles 5 homers last season.

Any contact with Alex Storako from Michigan? right now between her and Kilfoyl are my top pick for a transfer

---

I haven't heard specifics on Storako but I am assuming they are, she is the best pitcher on market but every program in America is probably going after her.

Someone mentioned she was going to visit Florida and a few other schools.

So how much money would it take to get JT Gasso out of Norman?

Probably at least as much as we are paying Kim Mulkey (if we are really serious about softball). Other than the money, Gasso has no reason to leave OU, IMO

---

JT? He is terrific hitting coach but certainly not worth Kim Mulkey money given he has no track record as a HC. Patty is best coach in college softball, they have completely dominated recruiting the last 7-8 years but their development across the board is top notch.

He will get an attractive salary for whatever school wants to bring him in as a HC but he certainly won't be breaking the bank either just because he is an assistant coach at the top program in the country.

It's the development piece that I am interested in. Patty and Jen consistently bring in some of the best players in the country, but once they are in Norman they are on a whole other level. There is no denying that even some of the best hitters in the country are still able to improve and make adjustments to their game over the course of their careers. That is JT.

I dont know if I would immediately go after him as a HC at a power 5 school and definitely not for a top 5 salary, but it might be worth exploring it and seeing what it would take to get him to leave. I have a hard time believing he would leave if he is content being an assistant, but at least have the conversation and see if he even wants to be a HC in the future.

Alex Storako from Michigan

I heard today she is visiting OU, Alabama, Florida, FSU so far. She is at OU this weekend.

Alynah Torres is as well from ASU

Infielder who hit .339 with 14 doubles, 1 triple, 16 home runs and 40 RBI's.


Granted, I imagine some will follow Ford to A&M but they will likely take visits.

Alex Storako to OU…honestly no surprise there. :/

3 Oklahoma State girls entered the portal..........Junior IF/OF Carli Petty, Freshman IF Brianna Evans and Soph OF Avery Hobson............FWIW I wonder if Torina is even interested in recruiting the Portal
