I think there is a chance she goes in the portal, she knows how bad the remaining talent is and she could go to a better club and get developed

How much does she make per year? Haven’t been to the WCWS since ‘17 I believe. Do we risk just sitting it out for multiple years plus the time it’ll take a new coach to get their players in place to make a run? Woodward has replaced swimming and tennis coaches, wouldn’t surprise me to see him make a move.

She is really good however the bench talent is non existent, I mean most wouldn’t start at southeastern… it’s catastrophically bad

Don’t get up in softball rankings, it’s all too arbitrary and driven by travel ball coaches trying to elevate their brand. They don’t have a SEC player on their bench… none

That sucks. Hopefully there's better times ahead, whether that's with Torina or not. Sounds like the softball program has a great foundation, just needs a coach to get it over the hump.

The incoming class in August is good however what’s left is low mid major talent other than RF, catcher and of course Coffey

It also sounds like the development isn't there. Doesn't matter how good incoming classes are if you can't develop them.

Some of the coaching moves Torina made after that first game were pretty atrocious. Offensive gameplan changed, not making a mound visit to try and refocus the pitcher and infield and slow the game back down for them and then leaving her in way too long after getting hit hard that inning. Then, the person she turns to to pitch relief didn't seem like the best option from what most were saying and it sure seemed like they were right with the way it played out.

The same issues that plaque this team year after year don’t change.


What is Dobson doing to them that completely fricks them up?

Is he messing with their mechanics, changing their approach at the plate, what?

Their swing mechanics are flawed… not all but most that have been here…leftwich went on that launch angle bs and ruined Pleasants and others…Bergeron is much flatter hence the line drive tonight where Redoutey has the barrel way below her hands…

Absent a huge portal haul I wouldn’t anticipate hosting a regional and may not get into the tournament

Is Dobson the one that has essentially become Torina's version of Cam Cameron?

Dobson would have been fine, good softball mind however it was Beth that allowed Leftwich in the hitting room to teach that launch angle bs..ppl forget HD had Bianca Bell, Landry, Jayquish and others… leftwich was the issue and it will take an entire fall for some coach to flatten swings out

I expect Woodward to let her contract run out in 26 then move on. She may be a good recruiter but she doesn't know what to do with it. LSU deserves better

Hitting is the big problem. Can’t score can’t win

Didn’t matter. Stanford only needed to score one run in each of last two games to win the regional. .
