If Cagle hits the portal next week and wants to consider coming to Oklahoma....you've got to consider her. Not only for her pitching talent, but I'd take her just for her bat. 19 HRs so far, and if any of our pitchers leaves one hanging it'll be gone too. She will be a Redshirt Senior next year. It would take a special kind of pitcher (or hitter) to come to OU. You've got to be team oriented and willing to share your time in the circle and be supportive when you're not in the circle. Alex has been a good example of that. I think Alex has really enjoyed her time as a Sooner. She hasn't had the huge pitching load she had at Michigan and she's had the best defense in the country behind her and the best offense to support her. Probably seems like a vacation to her. If Cagle enters the portal...and is that kind of person....willing to share and support and play a role on the team, then she would probably fit right in. She might be tired of carrying the load all the time too.As for our young'uns....we have done pretty well trying to get all of them meaningful playing time in their non-starter roles. I feel really good about some and a little concerned about others. The incoming freshmen will be pushing to try to get their own playing time in, while this year's bench fight to become starters next year. I guess we'll see where all this sifts out come June.
