able to BUY the top 25 HS players in the country, esp. pitchers. Would this pitcher have come to VT? Not with the NIL cash Pete has to recruit players. He does wonders with what little cash he has to work with. Your gut is wrong. VT is a top 25 team. FSU is top 8 with NIL cash to buy the players ( pitchers) they want. Easy explanation.

everything I have read or seen makes NIL look like an information crap shoot with numbers all over the board and likely heavily influenced by individual agendas. So much variation in fact, that it is difficult to know what is going on at one's own school, let alone the competition and the ability to rank specific individual programs. For softball, lots of reports out there and average NIL deals all over the board, ranging from $5K to $20k. The outliers, as would be expected, are the pitchers with Nijaree Canaday(sp?) being the whale reportedly at $1MM. Most far below that and less than six figures. Hence, my doubt it has much to do with NIL and my question to you about what you really know about the softball NIL space, in general, and FSU, specifically.

them today. Hopefully this will be a confidence booster headed into tournament play.

to do with NIL. What do you actually know about the NIL softball space? You have made some generalizations and/or excuses but, at least so far, you have not provided much, if any, specific info about VT or the competition in terms of NIL. What receipts can you actually provide?

NIL. First one to provide support for their answer wins.

contribute something to the board for a change and offer your own opinion.

VT is nowhere near that.

Tomorrow & maybe they can win! ** Edited by VT954 at 5/3/2025, 6:34:57 PM

Well minus Cori

A slump as well? These type of pitchers make the other team look like they're in a slump.
