Grace Lyons will be missed!What players will not be returning due to no longer having eligibility?
I believe Grace Lyons ... Storoka ... Rylie Boone ... Hanson ... Hailey Lee will be gone.
Any others that will be gone?
I believe Hanson and Boone are both Juniors
My belief is that Gazzo is the "Nick Saban" of women's softball and that she will continue to recruit more elite players to "feed the monster".What players will not be returning due to no longer having eligibility?

This is correct. Boone and Hansen are seniors but have the COVID year. Hansen has already said she’d be back. I’d be surprised if Boone doesn’t come back as well.The only players with no remaining eligibility are
Grace Lyons
Haley Lee
Alex Storako
Grace Green
Everyone else is either not a senior, or, a senior with 1 year remaining of eligibility due to COVID.
By my count, Patty is going to have 6 returning starters back next year. Hanson, Sanders, Jennings, Brito, Boone and Coleman. Plus others that had played RF. Replacing Grace Lyons is going to be a challenge but I look for Jennings to move to SS.Both Boone and Hanson,,,are going to use their covid year I've heard.
She's already proven herself a "superstar". Apparently, her life's interests have changed. Can't fault her one bit for that. We were lucky to have her. Dang it, I'm a football guy!Jordy will not have the nations #1 defense behind her, and will not have the nations #1 offense hitting for her.
Not saying she won't be awesome but that's a lot to overcome.
I think Jennings will get a good look at shortstop. IMO, Jayda is much more important in CF. She just does so many things that nobody else can do as well. Strong/accurate arm, covers well, and protects the fence as well as anyone.Jayda Coleman is arguably the best centerfielder in college softball. She played shortstop in high school as a 4-year starter, national freshman of the year, and Gatorade player of the year as a senior. Its not out of the question to see her at shortstop next season. Several of the recruits in the past 2 cycles are listed as outfielders. Not many (if any) lefthanded shortstops, but if anyone can do it its Jayda.
I don't think I'd question Natty Patty. Just me though brother. 👍Hodge isn't in the same zip code as a shortstop compared to Grace Lyons or Tiare Jennings. Not close. She might be a decent 2B, but again, not close to what we've been in the keystone combination.
