True...and I guess every player has what she thinks is good reason for making a change and every coach taking a transfer into the program thinks he/she is improving the team. A big game of musical chairs.....and like in the game, when it comes time to take a seat, some folks are gonna be left with no place to go....

KING, Tyler .314 49-49 175 28 55 9 0 0 17 6 2 13 15-21 If she's our leadoff hitter, Auburn is going to be awful. .319 career OBP (she doesn't walk) against weak competition (119th SoS per Massey in 2019), 9 CS in 30 career attempts. Judging by her total chances in the OF, you can speculatively say her range is good, but she has committed a few too many errors imo. Overall, not someone you'd want starting in the SEC.

Maybe just wanting to play for the best program right now since her tie to Meyers was gone? I heard she doesn’t like saltwater and OU was the furthest from both coasts and the gulf.

Actually Lopez was the #2 pitcher for OU, after Juarez. The feeling on Ultimate College Softball is that she transferred so she could finally be the #1 somewhere. Certainly has the numbers for it. Arizona lost McQuillen to graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that if they are giving up scholarship money at school A to transfer..."Somewhere" they may not find it again. As bad as the scholarship issue is, schools won't and don't just give them out easily. But then again, how many of the transfers lost their schollys? And as someone noted, most of the transfers have no real performance history so they are competing in the marketplace with incoming freshmen and JUCO players. I'm betting that when the portal closes, ...you can look at the list and will see a lot of names that are unattached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely the girls who end up having to drop levels likely wasn't getting much scholly money anyway. Could get more at a lower level. 35 minutes ago, AU64 said: I'm betting that when the portal closes, ...you can look at the list and will see a lot of names that are unattached. The portal never closes. & if we see names unattached it will be more likely due to the new school not being reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 6,050 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 There always have been a lot of transfers/retirements from college softball. The portal is just making it more public and Auburn’s recent success are making many more aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the poster on Ultimate College Softball, King announced via Instagram she was transferring to Auburn on June 6. This was 6 days before Taylon announced she was transferring, so I doubt that CMD was thinking leadoff hitter at the time. More likely a CF to replace Podany, since we lost Greenwood and Moseley. That said, I agree that her numbers are not overly impressive, and 5 is a good many errors in center. Draper had 0 errors in 2016. OTOH, Tiffany Howard had 5 errors in left that same year. They each had 87 POs. Gotta let the man gets who he wants that he can get, and see what he can do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say the face palms are for the info and not for me posting the info then I’m cool with them. If they are for me posting the info then that does bother me because no one else I respect does that to my posts when I’m just being the messenger.

It's very possible the only thing AU does is have their names on roster when the roster is newly updated in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
