    I'm hoping Harrington is the catcher. I'm worried about Danika injury and being in the portal at this stage of the portal season. The word is her dad pushed a ton of those rankings. One of my favorite players from your organization Lauren Alred if I remember correctly wasn't high ranked or even ranked, and she has worked out fine.
    I personally don’t think the injury will be an issue if she has gone through proper rehab.

    Man, Harrington has all the tools in the world be extremely successful. The grind, mindset and development needed from any Freshman in the Country making that transition is ALWAYS the unknown. I hope that she makes the transition and competes for a spot and/or pushes the next kid to be better.


    Allred was never ranked (I personally don’t get involved in “ranking” players). Maddie Hayden was also not ranked until someone nominated her at the request of someone else in order to make the incoming freshman class look better that year.

    I am not hating on rankings and ranked players one bit. Most of those kids ranked can flat out play, but to get excited over it and make a case on it is short-sided. Way too many great players in the Country to put too much weight on rankings. ESPECIALLY with the transition into D1 softball.

    Social media “rankings” are reading material entertainment at best and submitted by SOME travel ball coaches and those kids’ parents themselves. There are 7 ranking websites and each one different.


    With that said, let’s hope the kid comes in and puts up All-American type numbers to help the Cajuns be as competitive as possible!! The reality though (outside of being recruited by FSU, albeit as an in-state kid), she will be no different than the other incoming Freshmen at the D1 level on the field…..a question mark.

    Post an opinion on the stats. I just saw a IVY league pitcher signed from the portal. She is going to STANFORD.

    From what I am understanding the Cajuns have a late add to the freshman class. A pitcher from California. They need all the arms they can get at this point.

    He also mentioned that the Cajuns would likely sign another pitcher also.
    They have signed more hitters than pitchers. Pitching should have been the priority from the start.

    I'm now hearing Hodges might sign elsewhere.

    I’m sure a lot of that money was spent keeping kids here . If you believe some on here, there were rumors that 10 kids wanted to get in the portal. Just my guess
    Only three players deserved NIL money period. If any more got money UL needs to ask for a refund.

    That's the point that I have been trying to make. Deggs raised money to get more money than what he had. Crickets from softball to raise more money. That's the frustrating thing.

    10 kids did consider entering the portal. Only 5 ended up entering. You would be surprised who the other 5 were.

    Not trying to be negative. I think she has some potential, but there is a reason she is still in the portal. Maybe the injury scared some teams off, or maybe teams don't see the potential. Only time will tell. The Cajuns need her to work out.
