Everybody wants to play. Everybody on the team is putting in similar work. I think what he's saying is that its sad that a lot of these athletes today don't want to work harder and improve to earn that spot. If they don't get it quickly, they are gone somewhere else.

A Great man once said, “Work while You Wait.”

SB has become a revolving door. I have to admit I’m a bit concerned.

I am not concerned.

I subscribe to Robe's school...Just because you've started on every team since 8 years old, doesn't mean you will continue that trend over here. Wanna Start? Work hard enough to get me to notice you.

Would assume with twins, one was going to play, one sit. They came as a package, leaving as a package. Just seems that way. Lots of talent, competition.

That is good to hear. You most definitely keep up with SB more than I do.

You assumed wrong. Neither was projected to play much. They did come as a package, but their next stop they may not go to the same school. Your correct lots of talent.

I think we have a boat load of talent on the roster. We will be ok.

What’s sad about wanting to play? I don’t get that line of thinking at all.

I don’t know about you, but if I’m putting in 15-20 hours of time and effort into softball every week I’d want to actually… you know… play softball.

If you really really really want to play you will put in the off season work.

Quiting four months before the season starts says you want to play, and not work.

Hmmmmm.

Well the thing is this. The system is crewed up. The players sign up knowing they can transfer out. The coaches sign so many players is because they know they are going to transfer out. It's a catch 22 situation. It's Free agency in college. Makes the term "student athlete" obsolete .....it should be "athlete student". It's becoming a joke.

It’s the new normal. We really need to get used to the idea of 30-40% of our players transferring every year in every sport.

I’ll never fault a student-athlete or athlete-student for making choices that improve their situation. You only get 4 years to play ball. If I’m a freshman and it’s looking like I’ll only get 1 year I’d probably look to transfer myself. I’d rather play 4 years at Northwestern St. than ride the pine for 3 at UL with only a possibility that I’ll get 1 year. But that’s just me.

And no, that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to put in the work. They work just as hard at Northwestern St.

[Reality Check]

I absolutely agree with this so don’t take my response as being directed at you.

If in fact 40% of A signing class that allegedly was number one in the country is leaving because they won’t be playing, Somebody needs to do a better job recruiting or these pay-per-view baseball and softball recruiting websites suck.

LOL. Obviously these girls were unaware of the fact that the head coach of the team that recruited them is constantly scanning the transfer portal and making offers to girls he thinks are more experienced and will help the team immediately as opposed to trying to develop talent. I honestly don't know why Glasco even bothers to recruit when it seems that he prefers to build his roster utilizing the transfer portal. If I was a girl that he was recruiting or the parent of a girl that he was recruiting, I would have some serious reservations about committing to play for him.
