EagleEye67 1,973 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Very encouraging. The bios show they are ready to take this step and head up a sec program. Great pedigree. Offensive-minded, which is exactly what the team needs. The days ahead are looking very bright. Kudos to Cohen, I think this is a winner 🏆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderWhiskey 998 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I like it. The question that pops up immediately: Can they still have 3 assistant coaches? If so, a slick way for Cohen to get us 5 coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we can still only have 4 on the field coaches, so it’s a similar situation to this year with Dean as Head Coach and Carosone as Associate Head Coach.

Jad0003 497 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Ryker Chason will be the pitching coach. He was at Ole Miss for two years and learned under Torina at LSU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerjonathan 9 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just saw this on X, can't confirm or deny this: Justin McLeod 1 hour ago @justfactsmaam Filed to @D1Softball : Ryker Chason will join the Auburn staff and lead the program's bullpen. One of the year's top coaching free agents is off the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Eagle 477 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Interesting. Looks like he was at Ole Miss for 3 years but left in July of 2023 'to pursue other avenues outside of college softball'. Didn't find anything about what he has done for the past year. From Extra Innings Softball: Ryker Chason is departing the Ole Miss coaching staff, sources confirmed to Extra Inning Softball on Friday. Reached for comment, Chason confirmed his departure, noting that he is “excited to pursue other avenues outside of college softball.” “This likely won’t be the last you see of him within our game,” one source said. Chason spent the last three seasons on staff at Ole Miss, shepherding the Rebels’ bullpen to a 2.91 staff ERA during the 2023 season. Prior to Ole Miss, Chason spent three seasons on staff at LSU as a student coach, working with the Tigers’ bullpen during his tenure in Baton Rouge. His resume also includes a stint as an assistant at South Georgia State College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,297 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 This is in the article. After departing the Ole Miss staff in mid-July 2023, Chason spent the last ten months as Director of Pitching Growth for OGX Softball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,297 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Sounds like an excellent hire! Learning under Torina is fantastic as well. We got us a staff that will give us a chance to succeed. Great!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Eagle 477 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I didn't know what OGX Softball was so looked it up. Seems like Chason's time there should be very beneficial to our pitchers. https://ogxsoftball.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Eagle 477 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 South Carolina fired their softball coach (Beverly Smith) this morning after 14 years. Don't know if there would have been any competition, but I'm glad Auburn was able to hire a new staff first. They also fired their baseball coach recently. Cleaning house! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad0003 497 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Rumor mill on reason why Ryker left Ole Miss is the head coach. It seems like a good pick up, and I am hopeful he can pull one of the Ole Miss pitching transfers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerjonathan 9 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 This a head scratcher, I don't know why Team MALVEAUX has not picked up any players from the portal yet, because its concerning that some of the good players have already been taken by other teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have good coaches, and I am sure they are working hard to recruit the portal and the 2026 class, to hire a fourth assistant, to evaluate the roster, to assess the facilities, to meet the support staff, and to move to Auburn. I think the best thing we can do is support them and donate to NIL and give them time to build something special. https://secure.lglforms.com/f You can check the ‘Softball’ box and the payment will go directly to the team’s and potential recruit’s NIL funds.

This one will not be on Auburn list. The Alabama Crimson Tide softball program picked up a commitment from Ole Miss transfer pitcher Catelyn Riley on Thursday. Riley spent three seasons with the Rebels. The native of Dandridge, Tennessee holds a 24-18 record over the course of her college career. She has pitched 267.1 innings and has struck out 171 batters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,297 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Looks like you need War Eagle plus to see it. A bit disappointing. I hope it shows replay elsewhere. I get it for trying to get subs but for a press conference, I thought they would keep that mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
