Sometimes the best pick-up of talent isn’t an incoming high school or junior college recruit, it’s a transfer and Oklahoma scored a big one this week when two-time 1st Team All-Conference USA pitcher Shannon Saile decided she’d become a Sooner after two stellar seasons at Florida International University.
It will be officially announced on Monday by the Big 12 school, but Extra Inning Softball spoke with Shannon today and she confirmed that she’ll be pitching at OU for the next two years.
“I was ready for a bigger stage and the chance to challenge myself to go after a National Championship,” she said today. “It’s always been my dream and goal and Oklahoma has an amazing atmosphere where I think I can reach my dreams.”
