All-American Megan Kleist and Louisiana

[Cajun Monkee]

Just over a week to National Signing Day.

Lead thread is about an All-American is transferring to our Softball Program.

We are a diverse, sophisticated group.

Really jaw-dropping what Glasco was able to accomplish, simply fielding a team last year, much less a top 25 team that was a correct call away from a super regional.

Oregon was the #1 seed in the World Series last year. They have ONE pitcher and ZERO catchers on their roster right now with the departure of Kleist.

For softball, the NCAA allows a one time transfer where you don't have to sit out if you are granted a release from the school you are transferring from. Also, this year for softball the NCAA has set up a "transfer portal" site that is supposedly only able to be viewed by coaches and athletic department personnel. If you are desirous of transferring, you register with the portal. Schools are free to contact you once you are registered on the portal. By registering on the portal, you are relinquishing whatever athletic money you are currently receiving from your current school. However, you still must be granted a release.

wow. that is very interesting! but if ncaa is behind it, makes me think they think it is more likely to help their chosen schools?

for relinquishing the money does that mean the following semester, or do you pay back a pro-rated amount if you register mid semester?

sorry if dumb questions:
a. why are so many people leaving oregon?
b. their new coach seems ready to be a head coach?
c. she was hired in summer, could something have happened during fall to cause the want to leave.
d. does playing fall for one school then leaving affect eligibility?

Pretty sure Oregon just got pummeled by the NCAA. Am I remembering wrong?

No flights this way yet, but not sure about connections. https://flightaware.com/live/airport/KATW

Thanks for keeping us posted. The only out of towner I keep hearing that has an interest in Louisiana is Santa Clause. I heard that he was coming to town but then they say that every year around this time and no one ever sees him.

A good friend of mine, whose cousin’s aunt is a top-notch Acadiana in the loop source, says Ms. Kleist was spotted having a burger at Fat Pats this past weekend. She was overheard stating she liked it better than Judice Inn.
