    It looks like Murphy's lack of class is catching up.
    It was a busy Tuesday for the Alabama softball team, two days after losing in the NCAA regionals.
    Six players have entered the NCAA transfer portal in the past two days, AL.com can confirm. That includes three freshmen who were starters in Year 1, the No. 2 pitcher and two veterans.
    The six started a combined 182 games in for a Crimson Tide team that finished 43-12.

    Fr. Megan Bloodworth, 43 starts in 202
    Jr. Savannah Woodard, 23 starts
    Jr. Lexi Kilfoyl, 6 starts
    Fr. Megan Goodnight, 47 starts
    Jr. Abby Doerr, 35 starts
    Fr. Jenna Lord, 28 starts

    Six Alabama softball players enter NCAA transfer portal

    After a disappointing performance in both this year's SEC Tournament and Regional Tournament, the Alabama Crimson Tide softball team has suffered even more loss at the hands of the transfer portal.

    Two more players from Alabama's Team 26 have entered their names in the portal, becoming the third and fourth this week to do so. Lexi Kilfoyl, a junior pitcher, and Dallis Goodnight, a freshman centerfielder, will look for the opportunity to transfer away from Tuscaloosa, taking the route of players like KB Sides and Skylar Wallace before them.

    I would love to add Kilfoyl (from Land O'Lakes, FL) and Goodnight (who grew up in central Florida before her family moved to Alabama in 2019) to next year's roster.

    Just read an article saying Murphy s offense is outdated with the recent changes in the slapper rule (gotta stay in the box when u hit). Team needs more power hitters.
    Think I've heard that B4.:cool:

    I am curious to see who, if anyone, enters the portal for the Gator roster after their season ends. Thomas, Longley, Buffano, Pittman? Will Emily Wilkie stay, seeing as Sam Roe is steadily improving, plus Cali Decker's natural position is catcher and Coach Walton will be trying to find a spot for her bat in next year's lineup. Would Walsh consider going elsewhere after losing her SS job and being relegated to DP, or will she work to learn another position since her bat is so valuable? It will be an interesting off season.

    Bloodworth plays 2b and has power.

    Yesterday when I saw the list of Alabama transfers, Bloodworth wasn't on it. But she IS really good. The 2021 Georgia Gatorade HS Player of the Year from Cordele and the #10 overall rated recruit in the nation. She had a solid freshman year, hitting .292 for the season, although her average was well over .300 most of the year. She had 7 HR and only 22 strikeouts, with a slugging percentage of .566. She only made 3 errors at 2B and is a Top 25 finalist for national freshman of the year. I would definitely take her in a heartbeat. Wouldn't it be great if we could add Kilfoyl, Goodnight & Bloodworth? I hope Coach Walton is in contact to gauge their interest. Something is definitely going on in the Bama program to have all these really good players bailing.

    If I counted right while looking at Alabama's roster, only Kaylee Tow is a Grad senior and can't return for them. With the 6 players transferring out, that leaves on 13 roster players left, with 3 signees. Trouble in Tideland??

    She’s on it now, but she would be a great pickup imo. I got a feeling with that program it’s a chemistry thing. The program has been so established and successful I don think it’s a bad situation. I hope that’s not the case for sure.

    I know catcher is Sam Roe's position, but she seems quick enough to be a middle infielder if needed. She did play some 2nd this yr as a freshman.

    Correct my if I'm wrong but a player who transfers from 1 SEC school to another must sit out a year as did Skylar. So whilst planning your future rosters don't count an SEC transfer on your projected 2023 team.

    I agree that would probably be her best position.
