Too many people expecting too much out of the incoming freshmen. They are still freshmen no matter how highly rated or how well they played in high school. They haven’t faced the level of competition, scrutiny or pressure that OU gets in every game. We still need players like Hodge who are more experienced and have faced the pressure of competing at this level. The critics who keep mentioning her errors in the two final games don’t talk about all the great plays she made and even her bat came alive. I hope she sticks around. Lilio never did impress and SJ was an enigma. She pitched well in her few outings and I thought she should have pitched at least one or two batters in the final series especially second game when all the other pitchers got in some time.
If I recall correctly, Hodge had 2 errors in her final games, one of which was questionable. She also made a whole lot of plays that some of the others could not have made. She is a huge loss
You guys named a lot of players in the portal. One name conspicuous by its absence: Avery Hodge. As long as she is in the portal there is no reason to just let her go without a fight for her to stay.
@cjbunke It is just a guess on my part but I'm thinking another colleague offered her a few more bucks.p so she's left for that I don't know. It usually is about money. r8889
Great info (as always), but would appreciate a rundown on pitchers in the portal. I know Grad students can jump in later (Maxwell entered in July), but I haven't paid the $15 to see who's in the portal
Nija Canady is in the portal, what the hell!? she wants a good defence and offence behind her. she was a one woman team at times. wow, i hope patty gets her!
Actually, I hope she only gets 3 from the portal. These freshmen need a chance to show they can perform. We need an established RH pitcher, so I think Patty will wait for someone like Alex S. to become available. Then a couple of great hitters. The girl from Miami Ohio sounds like a good prospect. Patty has the luxury of waiting, because she already has a very talented roster. I think if Hanna Coor can finally learn to not swing at riseballs out of the zone, she will be the starting centerfielder. Cassidy will get one of the other spots in the OF, and Maya Bland should get the other one to start the season. Nelly M-M should compete for an IF spot, with Syd S on 1st.
It is just a small gut feeling that I have but I think Patty has got this. My question is, has she got a nice big salary Increase yet, and if not, why ????????? No I don't think she is considering leaving Norman but she deserves a big bump in her salary, regardless.
I'm calling it now. Here is Gasso's 2025 season starters. Pickering, recruit Parker, recruit Sanders, transfer Transfer 1 Transfer 2 Transfer 3 Transfer 4 Tia Milloy, recruit, primarily because of family tree. Transfer 5, pitcher. Secret to being an OU starter, transfer in. Don't be a recruit. The best that fans and 1 recruit can hope for is that Sanders is used as a pitch hitter. The best that another recruit fielder can hope for is that Gasso picks up 2 pitchers. What Gasso should do but will not is to add players from the recruit pool.
I heard from a reliable source of an All American HUGE name that has already verbally committed but won’t share the name in case it’s wrong. But if it’s right, there are going to be a LOT of angry SB fans (not ou’s fans)!
We need 15 to 20 home runs like grace Lyons Jennings Brito and probably 2 pichers at least 9 freshman counting are redshirt with a hurt arm coor needs to step up need to get back to 160 home runs like miami Ohio 5 players from 36 to 19 home runs
Sooners are going to be the young guns no more like Hodge or lilo no home runs and Hodge giving up 3rd run and 4th run to Texas maxwell saved more runs with 2 outs runners on base thanks Scott Hodge shouldn't fumble the ball 3rd run wouldn't get her body in front of the ball scared
Not sure if you played ball but errors are part of the game. We as fans are critical when they happen but it does happen. My point is I don't like jumping on a college player for making mistakes.
If you looked at the video when she missed the ball going to her right in slow motion you will see that her right cleet got caught. That’s why see stumbled going to the ball. Yes I’m a Hodge fan and hate to see her go.

if she wanted to stay she would not have entered the portal 🙄

If AH wants to leave a championship program, don' let the door knob hit you on your way out. Oh and good luck.

Why has Patty not picked that phone up & called NiJaree Canady? Come on Patty We definitely need a shut down pitcher for the 2024-2025 season.
The Texas Tech girl is exactly what Patty loves. Good and very versatile. She can play everywhere. I’d be shocked if she doesn’t end up in Norman.
Agreed! 💯
Canaday pitcher would be a great threat to the opposing teams!!!
We need pitching depth we only have 2 left and Lowry coming in
Yes agree. We have a separate video coming out specifically for pitchers. I think OU gets 1 maybe 2 out of portal
@@soonersurgeDoes the portal end Monday?
I don’t care about numbers. Give us 1 ace. But there are none unless Canady does something crazy.
@@christophermorales1509 Don’t rule that out. Seriously.

Hey thanks for watching! We have a separate video coming out on pitchers. Thanks
I think somehow we can find some way to validate an extra year of eliugibility for Tiarre Jennings and Briana turang.
Oklahoma needs a experienced franchise pitcher. Jordy Bahl to Kelly Maxwell so they need the next franchise pitcher not a freshman.
I would hope OU gets a 3rd base player in the portal. I think the freshman can handle 2nd and SS. 2 Pitcher, 2 OF, maybe 1 catcher.
Nija Canady is in the portal, what the hell!? she wants a good defence and offence behind her. she was a one woman team at times. wow, i hope patty gets her!
You hit it , not a team player , not for ou
No pitchers mentioned? Any names to share at this time?
We will be doing a separate video on pitchers. Thanks for watching!
Has any teams taken any of the 3 who left
Canady
Megan Delgadillo from Cal State Fullerton would be a nice addition. She is in the portal already.
What site are you using to see current transfer portal players?
Softball Portal on X(Twitter) is a good one to check out

Big difference in competition in those stats when you move out of the power conferences, be careful there.

Pickering, recruit

Portal closing on Monday?
Is Hannah Coor still with us?
Yes she is
Yes, so far
Need a couple of pitchers
When do you think we will start hearing news?
Next week at the earliest. It's always late june early july
Rylee Holtorf ss Washington, sr leadership while the young grow.....followed JT as soon as she entered....
Nice hat Jerm.
It’s pronounced muh-rye-uh, not muh-ree-uh.

You're mad and hurt that Hodge left. She played great in the World Series. You're being spiteful. Grow up.
Barely intelligible English there bud.
He always posts barely intelligible stuff like this, also the same on X

Canady would ruin ou softball ,
why u say that? She is the best pitcher out there.
