Good for him. I think Nicole Newman will do well.Yep would have been great candidate to keep around, but he was stuck in the grad assistant/manager role here it seemed so good jump to get to one of the 2 main assistants
Dave Betcher runs his stuff through Tourney Machine and often doesn't link them to the PGF page for some reason.Does PGF not post the brackets online? Can't see anything with hyperlinks, just the regional champ on directory

I would guess if it’s Fall ball, the 5 Sr. Will be moving on with there lives. Unless they are enrolled in a good graduate program.I'm wondering: Will Gophers softball play a fall ball schedule of games this year? If so, it would seem reasonable to schedule the games in September rather than October, when the weather gets iffy.
I know that the ACC cancelled all fall "exhibition" games for spring sports, so I ASSUME that the other Power 5 conferences will follow suit.I'm wondering: Will Gophers softball play a fall ball schedule of games this year?

I subscribed. Maybe worth it, maybe not worth it... but Softball America does a lot of individual rankings, which this is. It has 2021 national player rankings DenHartog at 10, Fiser at 27 and Partain at 65
Brooke's Linkedin profile indicates that she is working full time in HR for Alterra Medical in Salt Lake City. Congratulations to her! And, thanks for her contributions to Gopher SB.To say the 2021 season (pray hard that it happens) is critically important to gaining and solidifying the program’s reputation as THE big dog in the Big Ten is a gigantic understatement. This is the year for that.
By the way, I don’t see Brooke Vander Heide’s name posted on the Fall roster.
I wish she could have played for a full season for the Gophers. Coronavirus has been terrible.Brooke's Linkedin profile indicates that she is working full time in HR for Alterra Medical in Salt Lake City. Congratulations to her! And, thanks for her contributions to Gopher SB.
My opinion on their roster without Brooke is that they will be fine, and that view is really just an assessment of raw numbers. This 5th year senior class coming back really allows the roster to have much more depth than in other years. The Gophers’ roster has been down in raw numbers terms over the last two to three years so having 23 active players on the roster in 2021 puts us about 3-5 greater number of active players than we had in the last few years - of course that depends some on injuries. I just feel really good about our depth since so many seniors elected to come back.I wonder if the Gophers have continued with regular fall practices now in 2020, despite having no Fall Ball exhibition contests? With van de Heide leaving how much thinner does that make the roster? Or do they have even stronger players for her spot?
That action suggests to an observer like me that their intention is really to “go for it” in 2021. Their roster is already quite deep, but it does have a lot of unproven Freshman.Gophers add another catcher and potential starter in Megan Dray.
Never a bad thing to have another catcher in the mix. Adds depth and flexibility to the roster. On top of that, Dray looks like a very good player!
Gophers add Megan Dray to roster
Allister took the team to Florida for 1 week. The money came from a fund from donors.That action suggests to an observer like me that their intention is really to “go for it” in 2021. Their roster is already quite deep, but it does have a lot of unproven Freshman.
This roster addition action just reminds me of some of the actions that Allister took in 2017 (Groenewagen’s senior year) where it seemed like she understood it was THAT group of players that needed to make national waves that year - I remember she had her players practice in Florida most of January. She must have received quite a bit of financial leeway from the athletic department.
This current roster action suggests to me that Ritter is getting financial leeway as well. She must think 2021 is the year to strike.
I recall also that they were in FLA for only a week, but February was very warm in MN that year & with new turf on the field they practiced outdoors a lot in FebruaryAllister took the team to Florida for 1 week. The money came from a fund from donors.
At this point, I think they really "go for it" every year. And what I mean by that is they intend to win a Big 10 title (regular season or tournament) and get a seed (hopefully a top-eight) in the NCAAs.That action suggests to an observer like me that their intention is really to “go for it” in 2021.
