Is softball ever going to win a big game under Coach Newell?
Troy's overall record is great, but the record against good teams is not so great. They never seem to have the stuff it takes to win the big ones.

Got to expand the recruiting base into where the softball talent is. You have to try to get some players from California and Arizona. Those two states are on another level softball talent wise. Can't recruit a six hour drive from Troy. Not enough talent, especially in softball. You can look at National talent at the ASA Gold tournaments over the summer.

You mean Troy can't beat nationally ranked Top 25 teams with our recruiting pipeline of Geneva HS, Brantley HS, and Enterprise HS?
The roster is literally nothing but Alabama, Georgia, and Florida panhandle players.
Troy apparently doesn't bother recruiting the talent rich areas of Arizona, California, South Florida, Louisiana, or North Mississippi... it's the same story all over again, just a different coach.

Feel free to write a check to fund the cross country recruiting trips for a sport that doesn’t even charge admission to the games. I’m sure your donation earmarked for softball recruiting trips will be out to good use.

Recruiting is done in the summer at high level ASA Gold tournaments. You will have teams from all over the country in one tournament. I know several that are held at Disney's Wide World Of Sports complex. My daughter had major shoulder surgery and decided to not play college ball but her team had several tournaments there and there were teams from Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, California etc. I will also tell you the Western teams are a whole different level. There was a team from New Mexico that just dominated one tournament and the girls could slap hit, hit for power etc talking with one of the parents they said they usually play California and Arizona teams and that was what made them good

Yet South Alabama, who also doesn't charge admission, is recruiting players from Louisiana, South Florida, Mississippi, Idaho, Maryland, Arizona, and Oklahoma? And poor Marshall has been able to recruit from California to North Carolina over the past couple of years? It's not all about flying cross country to recruit... if so, USA and especially Marshall wouldn't have the recruits they have. Softball recruiting doesn't work the same as football and basketball. The coaches recruit a lot at big tournaments. Skylar Meade, for instance, does a crap ton of recruiting north of Atlanta when national tournaments are held at Lake Point Sports. He's not flying to Canada, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey , Wisconsin, and California to recruit our players and do in-home visits.

If we had more and could afford to expand i guarantee we would, but have to do with what we have

On Sunday, the ladies won a big one against a Top 25 Texas State squad in 12 innings. Libby Baker pitched the entire game. Made the trip home a lot more pleasant.
Go TROY!

Mississippi player came from JUCO in the panhandle and Oklahoma player was a transfer from Coastal Carolina.

Newell seems to be recruiting as he did at AUM. Last year I was curious and looked up Newell's camp dates and compared them to the dates of the large national tournaments. He had scheduled camps the same week/weekend of these tournaments! For one, the better players are more than likely playing and not coming to his camp. Although I have no clue if Decker or Shellnut had been sent to those tournaments.

But Troy has to recruit outside of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Otherwise the program is never going to compete against Texas State, South Alabama, and Louisiana... who are all in the upper echelon of D1 softball.

Hard to the tell about this team. We are not competitive against P5 teams, most of our wins are against UNA, FAMU, Al St, Sacred Heart, LIU, Mercer, Gardner Webb and Columbia. We are 7-5 in conference with La La and USA still haven't played

It took less than 30 seconds to look up that South charges for softball.
