Kyra Aycock commits to ole miss. Another cowgirl lands on a team that made it to the WCWS

It will be very interesting to watch how they do at their new destinations.
I'm sure Edwards will do well, but I'll keep an eye on Wark, Anderson, and Aycock

2025 RHP Preslee downing from Owasso commits the cowgirls. Originally signed with Stephen F Austin. Has led Owasso to multiple state championships. It also shows the transfer portal is dry when it comes to pitching

Also found out that our 2025 RHP signee Makayla Smith had TJ surgery in march, so she’s medically redshirting. Makes more sense why we needed Downing!!
If she's led Owasso (big school) to multiple state titles, I'd venture to guess that at worst there's a good basis for the staff to be able to work with. I'd be willing to bet a girl from Owasso who was committed to SFA probably is pretty thrilled to be able to get a shot at a place like OSU and will value that opportunity. I'll be rooting for her to succeed, cause that means we kick

If we have a fresh Meylan, and a healthy Crandall, we just need someone who can come in and throw strikes for an inning or two on weekends and start an occasional midweek game, especially early in the season.If she's led Owasso (big school) to multiple state titles, I'd venture to guess that at worst there's a good basis for the staff to be able to work with.

What we had last year was 2 down staff pitchers that were so in their own heads they weren't even serviceable. If Preslee can just be decent, it's an upgrade.
What happened to Kutz?

Marshall
As far as I know she's still on the roster, she hasn't posted anything. I'm just not counting on her based on her first two seasons.

Kutz has focused full time on professional bodybuilding. She still attends OSU. It’s her first love and passion. She clearly failed at managing both.

Long Beach State MIF Selena Perez commits to the cowgirls. She’ll a senior next season. Primarily a SS, she batted .167 this past season. Had a .938 fielding percentage with only 14 errors. Career batting average is .166 with her highest average at .174 her freshman season.

Well...hope she can do well
Is softball going to be our biggest NIL casualty? The House settlement seems to be settling some of our sports. Not solving necessarily but settling. International focus and immigration laws on earnings seems to be settling MBB, WBB and some Olympic sports. Wrestling and Golf appear to have solved their own problems. While baseball is maybe still to be decided.
But the momentum of 5 straight WCWS and the magic of Kenny seems to be stalled. We lost some talent to the portal and didn’t seem to hit w our targets like in years past. Kenny has been just outstanding at selling the program and getting the exact needs for the upcoming season.
This portal season seems to be frustrating him. Is it bc we just don’t have the money and new programs and the SEC are just buying up all the talent?
Edited to clarify that this is not a criticism of Kenny as he is one of my all time favorite Cowboy/Cowgirl coaches. I think he will adjust and it might take time but he will solve this somehow.
