that the upper level of the SEC has to spend, could he attract some 5* players to VT and be even more successful than he is currently? I ask this because I spent a couple of hours looking at past recruiting classes, and while Pete has done well, he is obviously not going to get the top ranked players we saw on LSU or FSU for that matter. Not trying to make any excuse because this team was definitely a top 15-20 team but how terrific could they be if he were able to bring in a 5* pitcher every other year, and a top 10 hitter, who may consider VT but feels like they need to go with the money. I will ask again, how would one go about starting an NIL STRICTLY for softball, with a hands off to any other sport? Just asking because it's obvious which sport will get the lion's share of the cash and with the resources of a top level SEC school host regionals and superregionals consistently. I take nothing from the players and coaches this year and past years. Under Pete, this is the 2nd most successful program at VT and with 2-3 top 10 additions, could be in Ok. City more years than not!! Real delights to watch and cheer on!! This was a terrific season where the steam just ran out at the end. And it looks like VT may have a star pitcher in the making to go along with Mazz and Bree!! Next year may look as good or better than this!!
