Softball transfer portal numbers are up significantly over last year
So far, 652 players in the Portal by 1:00 pm on Day 1 versus only 465 after TWO days last year.

Over triple the number from Day 1 of 2024. Is this trend due to more
opportunity or more desperation & futility?

Charlotte Moore had previously announced that she was entering the portal
And MJ is retiring. Haven’t heard anything else.

I would assume most players have made
their decision before the end of the season or once they had their season-end talk with Coach Pete. Most want to get their name out there ASAP once the decision has been made. So, I think that's a good indication that no one else is going into the portal. Sophomores who don't see themselves breaking into the lineup by their Junior years are most at risk. So far, knock on wood, we have not had any starters leave for NIL reasons. ** Edited by nkhooch at 6/10/2026, 5:30:26 AM

I assume coach has long since had post season conversations?

She will go be a productive lefty power bat
At a new school. She never got a chance as a Hokie. ** Edited by rberry7676 at 6/9/2026, 2:50:09 AM

Probably why some won't transfer
Pete is honest and, unless they move to a lower division school, they have a good assessment of their talent and skills WRT PT at VT. A few, like Legette, are a hair's breadth from starting and find an amenable team.

Yep. A little worried that the portal has not technically opened. We get
To stress for a couple more weeks. Money talks. Sounds like more and more floating around softball.
