2024-25 Offseason thread

Bloodworth was good defensively but lacked a little range and was below average charging the ball -- she gave up some hits because she didn't charge slower hit balls well. Hathoot is a natural SS -- I gotta think she'll charge the ball better. I'll be shocked if Hathoot doesn't win the job. Of course Kenny could move players around which allow Bloodworth the stay at SS.

Bloodworth was solid no question, not spectacular much less elite but got the job done for the most part. The bat is the major problem. If she hits for average…I don’t think we go after a SS.

Hathoot is a natural SS that committed 12 errors against lesser competition. If she hits for average, it’s a big upgrade. How well she handles this level of competition is yet to be seen. It took Poullard over half of the season to adjust and she played better competition at McNeese than Rachel saw in New Mexico. Either way, I’m curious to see how it all plays out

Good for her and a great opportunity. I think she has a strong bat and will be a big asset for Tech.

Tech having a good offseason with glasco bringing his players from Louisiana

I’m curious with Coach Bergy doing prospect camp in California that we might be trying to open up a pipeline back to California?

Not sure the exact date but around Sept 1st is when the Class of 2026 will be pledging their commitments to the college of their choice.

I’m expecting another back to back top recruiting class to go with the 2025 who will sign their NLI on November 13th

We have a change in staff….

Stacie Pestrak has taken a job as an assistant coach at UCF, which is a home coming for her as she returns to the state of Florida. I wish her well as she’s been good for us the past six years. She’ll be missed.

Whether it was coaching on the field, working as admin such as director of operations. She did anything and everything she was asked to do.

I heard it about a week ago that she was heading back to Florida. Much respect to Coach P and I wish her nothing but the best….as long it’s not against us. Good coach and a great person.

I really feel like Katie will step up to the challenge next season.

I hope so…but with Meylan and Crandall leading the way, if she wants to the challenge for the third spot…it’s definitely up for grabs

Considering she was never even competitive last year she has a lot of room to work. My post in no way implied she's up for one of the top slots. Just expecting a more competitive showing from her for 2025.

And hopefully Aycock is 100% healthy where she be more of the 2023 version but better.

 

[Cowboy4life9688]

She should be fine long term…still that third spot will be up for grabs. Definitely one of the key battles in the fall

Both of our signees Vandewater and Hoffman played in the Alliance HS All-Star game. Game was on CBSSports. Didn’t get to watch the game.

Hoffman pitched the 4th inning.
Vandewater with a diving catch to keep the bases clear

That the only thing that I know of what they have done.

Game end in a 4-4 tie.
