EXPERIENCE GALORE
Looking forward to the 2024 Team, I cannot remember a group with a comparable combination of Experience and Proven Production/Talent. Pending another possible Grad-Transfer Pitcher (Kelly Maxwell or Alana Vawter), there could be Nine (9) very EXPERIENCED SENIORS on the team, including six of nine returning SENIOR starters as position players. Then there is also a Junior returning as the starting 1st baseman. OU has to replace a DP (Haley Lee) and the SS (Grace Lyons). No other team can match that level of experience, especially given all of the WCWS experience. It is rather amazing. The final season in the Big-12 should be a lot of fun.
