Historically it hasn’t worked out well for the kids that have done it most notably from Florida. All have been unhappy and transferred essentially wasting a year of eligibility ie: Sam roe comes to mind. The 26 kid is from Georgia so has played her senior season already so in that sense perhaps it makes more sense. Financially the majority of softball NIL even in the sec is a few thousand dollars a year…under 10. For some families that might make a difference…not for most. Looking at the number of kids that transfer after freshman year as a parent I would not encourage it. Freshman year is hard enough without being a year younger than your contemporaries and even the strongest students can struggle with the pressures of class and the season. My daughter’s class had 6 and we lost 3 to transfer after freshman season. 2 didn’t see a path to playing time and 1 is still a head scratcher.
