EagleEye67 1,939 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Perhaps the (admittedly small) bright side is that, if CMD can entice a stud pitcher to transfer, she will know from Day One that she's the #1 pitcher here. That counts for a lot for a girl languishing on the bench somewhere else. Let's make the transfer portal (I can't type that without thinking about the show Stargate) work for us this time.

Conference games carry so much more weight but it doesn't in determining eligibility. Those aren't the games that make the clause ridiculous. Those are regular season non-conference games. The preseason games discussed are FALL scrimmages against JC, D2 and D3 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall she had a triple in an early game. Yes. Any regular season game played counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hspoprn 199 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thank you, MaKayla, for your ability, perseverance, and contribution to Auburn softball. Hopefully the appeal will be granted. If not, thanks for the memories and know that you have a bright future ahead, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,901 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Latest word I've seen on this is (updated a few hours ago) that Auburn has in fact appealed and its apparenlty going to a committe to decide. Auburn is cautiously optimistic. Take it for what its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,629 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The NCAA is as close to being irrelevant as ever. The more they do this the more I believe it's time for the Power Five to cut bait and create... The Power 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 I guess they are much more rigid on these types of request. Seems crazy to not let senior players play a full year when they have an injury like this... It seems they are much more lax when it comes to players transferring...which is worse to me.

OlderWhiskey 954 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hate it for Makayla, though it's not a big surprise. At least she can say she pitched the biggest game in Auburn history. Slightly surprised that a California girl wants to remain in Auburn, but glad to have her. The biggest surprise to me is that Dean is a motorcycle guy. Hadn't figured him for that.

An article I read said he received a custom made Harley in place of a financial bonus after winning a championship with the Chicago Bandits. Apparently he had a prior history with motor cycles and felt it was a good deal. That was in 2008. If he is scouting or recruiting maybe he can write off his annual trips on his tax return.
