What NFL team is going to take him? It's not like he's got NFL talent and this much baggage?

I have no insider sources, just try to check social media and message boards to see if there's any news.

Have the Zache sisters from ou landed anywhere? Recall that one of them is supposed to be a good pitcher.

This is where I'm at and cannot understand it myself, they literally are throwing away the future for a long time for a guy that's been mid.

Only player left I really want is Torres, a LHP would be nice, but Torres is the big get.

Texas will offer NIL but will probably not break the balance of the team. IE they aren’t going to offer any more than what Kavan, Stewart, etc get. They have to also keep the current players content. That’s the balance and Texas seems to have done a good job there, thus only a couple of portals, likely for playing time.

Yep, the team is a good team as it sits now, anyone they get to join is icing on the cake.

Well there goes that, hoping for Torres.

Bobby isn't natty or bust, but with that much top talent, it really should be natty or bust.

If Torres wants to play SS, Tech will give it to her no questions asked. Texas it will be decided because either Torres or Martinez will need to change positions to probably 2nd base. We know Tech will try to money whip them as well, they aren’t shy about offering twice as much if not more than the next team just to guarantee if it’s a money thing that they’ll be the top.

Right? I work in corporate and am in Human Resources. When someone has a problem, we tell them to take time off and focus on yourself and getting better. The work will be there when you get back. Not - we support you but go back to work because we need you.

Does Sorsby have incriminating pictures of all of Tech leadership or something? Holy cow they're willing to sink the ship for that scrub.

If she's not the clear #1, I feel like that would help Texas' chances against Florida. Burnt orange glasses aside, I don't see what Florida could offer that would be better other than being close to the ocean. But Gainesville is a swamp.

I would think that UT's wouldn't be too far away if it was less. Also, the true NIL outside of what Texas pays has much more potential at UT though Florida could come close. I saw someone say that Kavan's Nike deal was worth $1.1m. A&M is an addidas school so they don't have that. Not sure on Florida.

I would agree she could be behind Rothrock at Florida, but would argue she'd be #1 at A&M. Agree, Texas is the best fit.

Will be what she wants more, at AM and Florida she's probably the ace. At Texas she'll be the clear #2. Chances for a championship in order would be Texas first and Florida/AM next tier even with her as the ace.

Think Texas is fine with him leaving based on what's been said.

What would really be funny is that Tech is betting everything on Sorby leading them to the promise land like he's Arch Manning. He turns out to be dog poop and they sold their souls for nothing.

One would think that at some point Big 12 leadership would step and be like this is not good for the conference. But nope, without Texas apparently sand aggy has anointed themselves the new leader of the conference with no contention.

One down, two to go!

She was going to be #3 at best at Tennessee, now she's likely #2 at Bama.

This is absolutely hilarious and awesome. I think the only one I know off the top of my head is Reese’s celebration.

I am not the best versed in the world of social media, I wonder if the athletes following each other on Instagram is a way for them to communicate and ask questions informally - and this would be situations where having a good culture would help players recruit other players vs. a toxic culture where a player would tell others not to come. Separately, anyone else notice in interviews with the Texas softball players this year always keep saying how much they love each other so much? It's something new to me because you usually don't hear that emphasized to that extent. Reinforces what Bobby said about how close the team is to each other. Sounds like they genuinely are good friends and care about each other. That type of culture is hard to copy without bought in leaders.

But her college coach said she was the face of softball (sarcasm)

A&M will throw money at her as they need help badly, hopefully it's not enough to pull her. A 1-2 punch of Kavan and Azua would be stellar.
