Looks like we could add two more players from the transfer portal, both are from Arizona
[QUOTE=CajunGrad16;1226466]Looks like we could add two more players from the transfer portal, both are from.
Need pitchers with experience.
It's far from a done deal, but the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns have an interest in a couple of softball players who played for Arizona last season.
The two players, one an infielder and the other a pitcher, are both currently in the transfer portal.
Sources tell us that there is mutual interest between Louisiana and Ivy Davis, who was the primary starting first baseman for the Wildcats last season, and Vanessa Foreman, a left-handed pitcher who was taking a redshirt season and did not pitch in 2020.
A native of Huntington Beach, California, Davis entered the transfer portal in April.
Capable of playing multiple positions, Davis hit .305 with three home runs and 13 runs batted in during the 2020 season.
A starter at first base, shortstop, second base, left field, and right field during her collegiate career at Arizona, Davis was ranked by Flo Softball as the number 48 recruit n the nation coming out of Huntington Beach High School.
Davis has two years of eligibility remaining.
A native of Lakewood, California, Foreman entered the transfer portal about a week after Davis.
In 9.1 innings in 2019, Foreman compiled an overall record of 1-0 with a 3.75 ERA.
Foreman, who has three years of eligibility remaining, was ranked as the 53rd best recruit nationally by Extra Inning Softball coming out of the prep ranks at Gahr High School.
Again, there have been no commitments, and no offers, to our knowledge. There is only mutual interest between the two young ladies and the Louisiana program
So, I was doing some research on the Pitcher, she is a good one even though she has very little history at Arizona.
In the 2 years at Arizona she only pitched in 2018, no numbers this year, but that is not her fault, she has been behind 2 veteran very good pitchers for those seasons, including Arizona's #2 pitcher, Alyssa Denham. Mariah Lopez was Arizona's #1 pitcher this year and was a transfer from Oklahoma where she was all but dominant. We all know how good Denham was, and this girl was even better. These two pitchers made up the bulk of the 2020 season. In 2019 she was behind Taylor McQuillin and Alyssa Denham, McQuillin was a Senior 2019 NFCA All Amerian.
In her 1 season with stats for the Wildcats, she appeared in 4 games, starting 2. She gave up 6 runs 5 earned runs in 9.1 innings, but 4 of those were in 1 game. It was a terrible outing vs Kent State, outside of that she had really good limited outings vs New Mexico (2 innings 2 hits 0 earned runs), UCSB 1 inning O earned runs and UTEP 4 innings 6 hits and 1 ER. She struck out 6 and only walked 2 in the 9.1 innings (both of those walks were in the same game vs Kent State.).
She is tall, at 5'10" and was really good in HS. She was a 4 year letterwinner who played pitcher and 1st base. She was ranked as the 53rd best recruit nationally by Extra inning softball. She was a 1st team HS all american as a Sophomre and Western region All American as a senior. Senior year she went 11-2 with a 1.05 ERA and that team went 24-6. Her travel team in 14U won the National Championship. She was recruited by Arizona, Auburn, Cal-Berkley, Hawaii and Michigan.
Not saying she would come here and blow the doors off of our opponents, but with 3 years to play and a year to sit behind a pitcher as good as Summer Elyson, this could be a very nice pickup.
Obviously Davis who was a starter at Arizona would be a very good addition.
I would like to see the Cajuns pick up All American Kayla Konwent from Wisconsin.
