On June 2, Florida State softball third baseman Jaysoni Beachum announced her decision to enter the transfer portal. Monday brought more bad news for the Seminoles as Isa Torres, D1 Softball's national player of the year, announced she's also entering the portal.
Torres has already committed to Texas and Beachum might be headed to UF. I haven't seen any roster movement news for Tech but these really opens up the ACC next season.

I day left Franklin loose on this recruitment. The guy seems on a roll.
Softball the last two years, ever since the Canady to Texas Tech deal has really accelerated with high profile moves to the top spending programs, possibly moreso than Football due to the smaller pool of teams spending exorbitant amounts on Softball.
The SEC has four elite spenders which is pushing a few more to elevate their spending.
Tennessee
Texas
Oklahoma
New to the party Alabama
Outside of those four, Big 10 has three elite spenders
UCLA
Oregon
New to the party Nebraska
Outside of P2 there is really only Texas Tech.
Second tier spending
About half the SEC
Only Indiana and possibly Michigan from Big 10
FSU, Duke, Stanford, Virginia Tech
Oklahoma State and Arizona from Big 12
Grand Canyon University
After that its pretty even across the rest of P4 programs
That's a real shame. I would be excited if I thought our team would capitalize when it counts. They seem to disappear when the postseason arrives and can't seem to win a crucial elimination game. A whole lot of fun during the regular season though.
That's kind of the VT athletics way isn't it? Not just softball, but all sports. The last team that did what they were supposed to do was the women's BB team that went to the final 4 right before Brooks chased the money to Kentucky. Still mad about the outcome against LSU and was a game that the refs didn't properly control... Mulkey should have been T'd up in the first half and ejected for some of the things she did. I'm not bitter about this... at all...
After that, I'm having a hard time recalling a VT having post-season success when they were expected to... maybe the '22 baseball team that won their regional with a sweep?
2019 NCAAM did exactly what their seed predicted, and almost pulled the upset.
