Agreed on all points. I think unfortunately there is a ridiculously fine

line between players at times and if you are on the wrong side of that line with another player from the coaches point of view, then the portal is the greatest thing ever invented. I know we all don't like where College Sports are going, but none of these kids came to school to not play. I wish Emily all the best.

Emily LeGette is also in the portal

Once the portal moves are all complete, do you plan to write an article

OF is wide open next year. The path to playing time in the IN
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 04:57 PM ET
Abromavage is going to be a good one. She will be a starter IMO **
hokiepro • 05/20/25 08:36 PM ET
Her opportunities were limited, and in conference play she only hit 0.167.
King of Hokies • 05/20/25 09:42 PM ET
She has elite bat speed. She absolutely laced a liner at the LF for Belmont
hokiepro • 05/20/25 10:01 PM ET
Elite? I hate that word. It is overused. She has batspeed that can play
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 10:21 PM ET
Could a good hitting and fielding SS move Rohs to 2nd. She fields well but
SHPHOKIE • 05/20/25 05:34 PM ET
Perhaps. I know everyone has to earn their spot, but I have a feeling
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 05:38 PM ET
I disagree on 2B and SS. A very good hitter who can field well could
King of Hokies • 05/20/25 05:22 PM ET
Oh, in a particular universe, yes. I am starting to feel
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 05:40 PM ET
I don't believe you have a way to support your first sentence. D'Amour has
King of Hokies • 05/20/25 05:58 PM ET
Yes and no. Neither Thrunk nor Blackwell were established players
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 06:30 PM ET
Not a surprise. She knows PT would shrink her last 2 years. Smart move.**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/20/25 04:47 PM ET
UNless she converted to OF. But if she wants to be an INF, she
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 04:57 PM ET
Jones is the portal that hurts the most to me. Lots of potential. Maybe
ancient alien 2018 • 05/20/25 05:01 PM ET
Maybe - but next year we have #7 Mizelle and Pallante
VAHokie89 • 05/20/25 05:41 PM ET
Well, it would stay about the same next year but increase her Sr year ....
hokietony • 05/20/25 04:51 PM ET
That stinks. She hit well in Chatield's place.
schubee • 05/20/25 04:11 PM ET
Well, sorry to see her go. How do we know if she can be a good 1st
PokieHokie • 05/20/25 04:05 PM ET
That would have made to much sense.
VT954 • 05/20/25 04:36 PM ET
Lynch is ELITE at 3B already a better defensive 3B than Bre
hokiepro • 05/20/25 08:35 PM ET
Much like a young Bre Peck, and she ended up playing outfield. The elite
PokieHokie • 05/20/25 04:42 PM ET
Emma Jackson from ECU is back in the portal!**
PokieHokie • 05/20/25 05:16 PM ET
I agree about the potential move to 3rd for MC. But, Lynch sort of wowed
nkhooch • 05/20/25 04:23 PM ET
At some point, you have to trust the coaches to make the right decision
VTChip • 05/20/25 04:20 PM ET

GobblerCE • 05/21/25 11:12 AM ET
Lynch needs to stay at third. It is a tough position, and she has all the
dallasvt • 05/20/25 05:54 PM ET
Yep. 1st and 3rd are locked down. 2nd and SS aren't in my opinion**
King of Hokies • 05/20/25 06:01 PM ET
Coaches aren’t always right. **
VT954 • 05/20/25 05:36 PM ET
And message board posters are????
VTChip • 05/20/25 05:42 PM ET
Yeah, I understand that for sure! But it's always tough to lose top
PokieHokie • 05/20/25 04:28 PM ET
This one was pretty much “written on the wall”.
RJHokie • 05/20/25 03:54 PM ET
This was almost expected.**
hokietony • 05/20/25 03:54 PM ET
Are there any others we anticipate?
atticus555 • 05/20/25 03:59 PM ET
Not really
VTChip • 05/20/25 04:25 PM ET
PT as well, Mr. Chip!! (:>)**
ancient alien 2018 • 05/20/25 04:48 PM ET
I would expect a few others; mainly from the non-playing crowd.
hokietony • 05/20/25 04:01 PM ET
For sure. Just a tough situation here. I can't blame her. I think
nkhooch • 05/20/25 03:57 PM ET
UCF USF FGCU she'd do well at all 3**
Techdady • 05/20/25 06:12 PM ET
FSU also graduated a 1b and Bueno, the heir apparent
