@treywallace Awful. He braces. Head faces away fearing unexpected contact. Not things you do if you’re seeking malicious contact. Not to mention that he’s an A+ kid and would never do that. But the review center doesn’t know that obviously nor does it matter. Just adding context. Bad call.
Obviously biased but JuCo is also a great way to go (freshman/redshirts) great opportunities for “right now” playing time to spring board back to ANY 4 year level
Transfers: If you’re coming from a D1 school where you didn’t play much I’d highly recommend you consider looking at other levels (D2 or D3) if you’re wanting to play and make an impact! Got to stop thinking “D1 or bust”. Ton of talent at all levels!
Also be willing to go JuCo. Can be a place to get tons of game, experience, and stats. Let that springboard you back to the 4 year level after! (Speaking to freshman that didn’t play a lot obviously)
When former athletes tell me they want to enter the transfer portal, my response is always the same:
☑️ Are you willing to go D2 or D3?
☑️ Are you willing to receive zero scholarship money?
If your answer isn’t an immediate YES to both… then you’re probably not as miserable as you think.
I also make sure they know: nearly 50% of athletes who enter the portal NEVER PLAY SOFTBALL AGAIN.

Is this the year that more softball players that enter the portal with minimal opportunities/stats figure out that JUCO is the BEST option for them? We will see @SoftballPortal
@LM07SB Would love to get some of your uncommitted players on campus for a visit! Or we could even host a DH in Nov 👍 dm me and we can set something up
Had our annual “meet coach ferro” time today after practice. It’s a time for the players to ask me anything they want outside of being a coach. The purpose is for them to get to know me as a person, not just to see me as a coach. #growthmindset#breakingdownbarriers
