Thread: 2024 Softball Transfer Portal

  1. Default Re: SB portal 2024

    when you put College World Series wins (plural) in there, there will be very few elite pitchers in the history of softball . . .

    I’ll never forget that Jordan Wallace shutout of Arizona State in the supers. Winning 6-0 vs Dallas Escabido. That was awesome.

    She has two of those seasons. In my book elite.

    Perspective seems to be quite difficult to grasp around here, especially relating to softball and baseball.

    OU announced that over the next two weeks they will host NINE players from the transfer portal. They will not sign all of them but how do we compete with that?

    I'm talking about an elite pitcher for her career. I am not talking about elite seasons.

    You don't, but you have to work hard to find players like Ellestad and Roe. Might not be visiting Oklahoma, but certainly they can help the Cajuns. Baseball did the same thing with this year's team. We are not going to outbid the programs with NIL money.

    Exactly. Perspective.

    So, there have been no elite pitchers since Brignac. But didn't you predict the Cajuns were going to be a Super Regional team this past season? How does not having elite pitching calculate to Super Regional teams in your predictions? I'm confused.

    I think the pitching was good enough for Supers if we were healthy and played much better defense. We lost the finals of the regional because of poor fielding.

    I never predicted that. Can you show me where I predicted that?

    This is correct.

All three were highly recruited around the country. Landry came with those same type of accolades and can reach up to 67-68 mph. She has not lived up to hs pitcher ranking and hype yet. Summer clearly deserves to be mentioned in that group. I think it is fair to say that Summer isn't appreciated as much as she should have been by many including myself. It's also clear the Landry hasn't been close to any of those names.

    Those three had Super Regional and WS wins against top teams. Unfortunately, we haven't had those types of arms including Summer. Someone mentioned Kleist, she didn't pitch an entire season and she left.
    I mentioned Kleist and I was answering the question as to what was the missing piece for our team to get back to the WCWS. I said elite ace pitching that can shut down potent lineups in the regionals.

    Kleist was Pac-12 pitcher of the year and First team all-american at Oregon before transferring here. In her short covid year stint here she had wins vs #3 Texas and #7 LSU. Kleist and Ellyson were the type of pitching that could have got us to the WCWS to go with our hitting that year. It was very unfortunate we never got to see the results with the year never playing out.

    Hopefully Landry can be that pitcher in her senior season in addition to others.

    thanks T

    you have unequivocally proven that Louisiana softball has benefitted numourous times from elite pitching

    like I posted earlier, if elite pitching requires the pitcher to have had multiple WCWS WINS, there would be very few in the history of college softball that would have reached that mark

    if it was WCWS appearances, the a few more

    let’s face it, because reaching a team goal is so much also dependent upon offense and defense other than pitching, there is almost impossible to have a realistic evaluation of a pitcher based upon team success

    while team success should be a factor, it should be a small factor in the whole scheme of things

    When Stefni was the pitching coach, Louisiana had its fair share of elite pitching.
