We have added 3 transfers so far. All were highly recruited out of high school, but none have made significant contributions to their team in previous D1 stops, and only Kennedy Marceaux had good numbers in limited playing time.

VO,

Curious to know what you are considering "good numbers"? I would consider Manning and Marceaux both to have "good numbers" as a Freshman in the SEC in limited action. For Manning specifically after being told all spring she would redshirt and would not see any time, to being called on after game 1 vs. Tennessee in the series and continue to be the starting 3B after the Coaching staff had tried Daniels, McKee, back to Daniels, McKee again then finally giving Manning a shot (and this is not to dispute the coaches' decisions as right or wrong, just the facts) to have her be the best option as a true freshman and finish the season hitting .320 in 25 AB's through 18 Games.

As a sophomore I believe it was more lack of confidence and even more limited opportunities. I believe both of the portal additions (I personally don't know enough about the pitcher to have an opinion), if perform to their abilities will be huge in-state gets for the Cajuns.

Now, I am smart enough to know that my "belief" can be way off also but time will tell. LOL

Manning has scored 3 runs and driven in 5 in two seasons, hitting .289 with 48 plate appearances, 1 2b being her only extra base hit. Her run production/PA was slightly worse than Mia Liscano was last year.

Marceaux has also had 48 plate appearances, scoring 9 and driving in 9, while hitting .310 [2 2b, 2 HR]. Her run production/PA is about the same as Ceci Vasquez last year, so pretty good.

I believe a lot of things, and I am in general a strong believer in our players. I also did not say that either of the portal position players would not be good for us. What I DID say is that neither has produced at a significant level in D1 softball. As for the "in-state" portion of your statement, I am one who doesn't care where a player or a coach comes from; I only care if they produce wins.

I heard Deggs has a RP mole.

Any dermatologist can get that removed

I'm referring to the part that you left out in your response. You did in fact mention neither had produced at a significant level, but then went on to say "and only Kennedy Marceaux had good numbers in limited playing time."

I stand by that.

Noted and respect your opinion as I've seen here you are a stats guy.

Just seems to a common folk to be a bit harsh to say "only Marceaux had good numbers" when it seems as though it's splitting hairs at 11 hits in 38 AB's for Manning vs. 13 hits in 42 AB's for Kennedy. Especially if you do a deep dive into those numbers for a relevant comparison.

Also, my stance here isn't a Madyson vs. Kennedy comparison as I know both personally and think the world of each of them. I am excited that BOTH have decided to be Ragin Cajuns because I think its a great FIT for both, regardless of numbers.

I was just genuinely curious as to what numbers you were looking at to come to that conclusion.

Also, it shouldn't really matter if it was over 1 season or 7 if the "opportunities" were the same (i.e. plate appearances/AB's) no?
