Chip, can you verify if VT ever had top 10 recruiting class since 1996?

We have been following every VT softball team since it started in 1996, and don't remember VT ever securing top 10 class. Even after Angela Tincher and national exposure, recruiting didn't result in top 15/20 classes. Hopefully, that will start to change since we've had national exposure and new fans the past couple years. If we can recruit top 15/20 classes every year, we will have good chance at national championship.

It seems like there is a lot of transferring in softball?

I was talking with a players parent at the Duke regional.

Until all the covid era players age out with their 5 years of eligibility

I think it happens regardless of Covid

If they are truly "beating down the doors", that's great news. Coach could

I hope we don't turn into a program that makes a living in the portal.

Transfers seem to be a common thing in softball. See my post above

Where would we add a transfer other than Pitcher and Catcher?

VAHokie89 • 06/01/22 03:33 PM ET

BornaHokie • 06/01/22 07:57 PM ET
We won’t; but Overaitis, Milius were both good transfer contributors

It would seem logical that the 3 B's would lead next season.

@Chip - w/o picking favs or getting yourself in trouble with a great team

Agree, and it should result in good recruiting classes. **
