The portal numbers are up from last year to this year

Last year, D1 Softball showed that 782 players went into the portal. This year, they show 935. That's almost a 20 percent increase. My gut feeling is that money is making a difference. Many mid-major players seem to be "testing" the waters to see what money is available. And it certainly seems that, for some schools, money is certainly available.

It’s interesting the lack of signings by those 8 schools

I don’t have a frame of reference. Are transfers increasing? Is money

Depending on the coach, softball is full of bottleneck situations

The grass is always greener on the other side, or is it? Many of these
PokieHokie • 06/22/25 09:14 AM ET
For MANY of them , I bet money is not the issue
VAHokie89 • 06/23/25 12:59 AM ET
Definitely doesn't help promote the concept of "TEAM". **

Any situation where someone is praised for "doing something for the team
VAHokie89 • 06/23/25 01:02 AM ET
But, every successful team tells you that it's because they love each other
