If Heavener wants to leave, then fine. But Beth needs to get a big-time pitcher from the portal to replace her.

I think Tuua and Rackley will pitch a lot early but if Tori and Jayden both leave that probably frees up a bunch for portal chasing.

Get her the frick out of here.

Scored ONE RUN in two games against Alabama in the Regional.

Rank Mediocrity at its finest.

Yeah, let her finish out the two years left on the contract to save money.

No, frick all that noise! She needs to go!.

I think she likes Cali Deal also. Deal showed promise from what little we saw of her this year.

Please explain. I am sure you can give a logical, detailed reason as to why he is the issue.

Torina is a good enough coach, to get another job at a place with better NIL money where she can attract the talent to win.


Zero chance. You are acting as if LSU softball gives less monetary support than 40 or so teams. That's not true. Perhaps LSU doesn't give Top 8 support for softball, but it sure is Top 15-20. What school in the Top 20 would want to hire Torina?

With our massive investment in football and mens basketball we have barely anything for wbb and baseball...and both these programs have won national championships.

This is already showing in baseball


LSU women's basketball is a top 5 funded women's program in the country.

And baseball didn't miss the postseason due to "low NIL funds". It was poor talent evaluation, poor in season coaching, and injuries certainly played a big part in the dissappointing season. Perhap LSU got outbid for a top recruit or two, but they were still a top 5 funded team in the nation.

Sometimes addition by subtraction isn't a bad thing... some leave because they want more playing time, some because they are homesick and want to be close to home, some just want a change, some are not coachable or are causing issues inside the team... we will never know and honestly, I don't care to know. Hopefully we will get some to replace them who are better and it could be a blessing in disguise.... or it could be a total disaster.

Mama Heavener go pout somewhere else, Neal didn’t even coach your kid! I got news for you it’s a coach’s responsibility to over recruit every player every yr..those are facts, just like Lane punted over 30 players or so including virtually the entire OL

Ok... you must have a vendetta against the softball staff and aren't afraid to name names. Hard to believe you since you joined in April and all of your 16 posts (except one) are complaining about the softball coaches.

Heavener is not gonna get you to the wcws Even the best coaches cant make her throw strikes

I have no idea if she will make a World Series, but a really good pitching coach can make a difference.

I know several who quit donating but it has nothing to do with the coaching staff... it's the distractions that go on that take away the enjoyment of going to games.

Nothing will help those who don’t want to be helped. Blame it on Beth and Neal all day but Monticelli had her best yr and she was coached by the alleged super pitching coach Rocha at OU. Kylee Edwards, Franklin and Lassiter all the greatest yr of their careers with the same hitting coach although she (T Edwards) hit far different than the other 3
