The way Hartwell talks he may have someone in mind.... John Hartwell was the assistant AD at ole miss before coming to Troy. He was involved in bringing in a new softball coach to ole miss. So this isn't his first Rodeo.

He did say he wants a very strong recruiter who will get Troy on top of the SBC immediately.

You aren't aware that Ole Miss has a TERRIBLE softball program are you? If I'm not mistaken, they've never once even qualified for the SEC Tournament, much less the NCAA Tournament.

Texas State head coach Ricci Woodard showed Wednesday that not only can she recruit, but build a strong coaching staff.

Woodard announced the hiring of former Texas pitcher Cat Osterman, who is a former three-time National Player of the Year and a two-time Olympic medalist among other accolades. Osterman joins the Bobcats after spending three seasons at St. Edward's University in Austin.

This should only help what will be a young pitching staff next year. Rayn House graduates, which will leave Kaylee Garner and Ashley Wright as the only two pitchers on scholarship before the new recruits come to town.

I have so say I've wondered why she was at St. Edward's to start with. I would have thought she would have been at a Div 1 university and being groomed. I wondered if she wasn't considered a major coaching candidate. I hope she does well for TSU (obviously not against the Cajuns). At worst, she'll make your hitters better by pitching BP.

Guess you have to start somewhere. At least it was in Austin. Could have been waiting for a call from UT, that never came.

Having the turf is nice for Troy and I like all the trimmings (wall padding all the way around, logos on the field). Certainly a very nice setup as an entire park.

Like I said big doesn't make it better. Our size fits our needs. How about showing our new field house and the indoor batting cage?

Yep. Nothing new here.

On a side note, its still uncertain when we're gettingthe football endzone complex. But when we do it's going to be really, really nice. Should help with recruiting.

What you need is an LSD expert to help with recruiting. Conviince them the cow manure is really the seer smell of roses. Troy Alabama, among ten place in America nobody wants to visit on vacation.
