Thanks nail. Looking forward to softball and baseball season starting. Gators got a huge softball transfer from Minnesota in the offseason. Catcher Kendyl Lindaman, 2 time All-American and reigning Big 10 player of the year, with 2 years of eligibility. Plus N.C. State's best hitter, OF Jade Carraway, transferred in with 2 years of eligibility. If we can find a pitcher to compliment Kelly Barnhill (and we now have 4 others on the roster including 2 highly touted freshmen), we can make another run to Oklahoma City. Sooners are ALWAYS great in softball. One of the all-time great coaches has that program just reloading year after year.

FSU is way way too high. They got hot last year at the right time and props to them for taking advantage, but they aren’t as talented as a lot of the teams they’re ahead of.

I hope you're right. FSU has been a steady, improving program of late but eh ACC sucks in softball and the Noles did catch fire at the end of the season, which it what it takes. But I don't put them in the same consistent big time class with the other major power teams.

We are clearly the greatest team of all time. Should have been ranked .5, number 1 is selling us short

Pretty sad when the ONLY THING you can talk about in Tallasassy is THE PRESEASON Softball rankings. Willie is being sued by 2 former players for his training procedures at Oregon ( Just like D.J.Duekin at least these guys lived? ), he led FSU to the worse record of the Noles in 40 years and no Bowl game and their recruiting sucks.

Im sry for hurting your feelings

It’s cool, we still have 2 titles to your 1 in softball and played for the title 3 out of 4 years prior to last season. And we have the Big Ten player of the year transferring in. I like the Gators’ chances this season. Probably could have won last season too has the umps not screwed us against UCLA.

That's quite okay, because I have trouble believing that the Big12-10-whatever is really a conference, instead of just a random collection of dust bowl has-been losers....

But hey, if you want to just talk individual schools, then name all of the schools in the entire NCAA that have finished in the Top 10 Final Listings for the Director's Cup for the last 35 consecutive years. --- hint - it's a very short list and your dust-bowl chokers are not on it...

Yeah you guys would win everything every year in every sport if the officials didn't cheat.

Yep, and the infamous 'Swindle in the Swamp' never really happened either...

Ocala....the transfer catcher from Minnesota is a great player and very nice pick up for Walton and the lizzerds. Gasso and OU picked up 2 really good pitchers Shannon Saile jr. from FIU and Giselle Juarez hard throwing Jr. from ASU that will help with the loss of Paige Lowry and arguably the best pitcher in OU history Paige Parker.

OU with a very talented senior class and explosive lineup should be well positioned for another trip to OKC. I really enjoy girls softball.

 

[hotsuits]

Anyone know about the transfer from Oregon Maggie balint there was something referring this to mike white didn’t really understand

I enjoy it as well. Started watching it back when ESPN started carrying the CWS before the gators were good. The Pac-12 dominated, but I still loved watching the game and how much fun the ladies had playing together. Great sport to me.

Florida led all collegiate programs with the four selections to the WNT squad, while the program also had a pair of signees in Julia Cottrill and Rylee Trlicek make the United States Junior Women's National Team last week.

Oklahoma City – Former Gators Michelle Moultrie, Kelsey Stewart, Aubree Munro and Kirsti Merrittwere selected by the Women's National Team Selection Committee (WNTSC) to the United States Women's National Team (WNT) Monday after Team USA held selection trails this past weekend.
