2023 Softball Portal

Lol

The amount of kids entering is insane. The NCAA needs to mandate a one year sit rule. Seems like the P5 schools don't want to develop anyone anymore. They like it this way so that they can cherry pick kids. The portal has ruined college sports.

It’s gotten to the point where some schools aren’t even looking at high school kids because of the portal. NCAA needs to step up & do something but we know that won’t happen.

Nobody said anything about entering anyone into the portal. I never listed any website, now you are making ____ up. What was asked is how much does portal viewship cost. I do have access to see who is in the portal. You have no clue who I know and who I know has CajunVic to the portal. You also have no clue who they know. Don't consider me the general public. Just wait until next week and then come back and tell me I don't know what I am talking about.

JMV is right. This is a softball thread after all.

Coach Chris, it is almost comical what some of these guys post and they have no clue about all the behind the scene stuff. What GeauxLA doesn't understand is all someone needs are credentials to get into the NCAA portal, lol. Even Mark admitted in post #16 that some individuals access it by using individuals accounts.

And I think this is where the (unexpected) cost of recruiting is going to go up for a G5s.

P5s are just gonna have to watch ESPN plus to look at new players.

Which means G5s are going to necessarily have to invest more money in more intensive searches to identify quality talent.

And I just don’t think it’s going to be as simple as taking on those “four-star” talents that were squeezed out on the backend.

These cats are being replaced for a reason… They’re not as good as advertised and they’re not playing.

So the only thing that you can look at is three year old high school film… of a player that ended up being overrated

Just saw that Kayla Beaver has signed with Alabama out of the portal. She is one of the better pitchers in the portal. Word is she got 30K in NIL money.

[CajunVic]

There is no NIL money in softball . . .

[Grantvb]

Only if one were Jennie Finch

[CajunAmos]

There is no NIL money in softball . . .

I would bet Oklahoma has NIL money. If you can pay your coach more than twice what anyone else is making and are playing for championships every year you can probably find booster money for NILs. They get transfers from other top P5's.

I’m just remembering what has been unequivocally posted here in the past . . . Maybe I’m misremembering like Andy Pettitte . . .

[R1Letterman]

I'd like to hear the Andy pettite story

The old “I know a guy who knows a guy” bs line. You sure like to try to make yourself out to be this omnipotent person when it comes to softball. Why make us wait till next week? Tell us right now what’s going to happen if you know so much.
