FSU softball: 4 things that must happen to return to elite status in 2025

Trim The Fat
No, I'm not calling anyone fat. I'm referring to the amount of deadweight on the FSU softball roster. Frankly, too many players on the team who are not FSU quality. They may be great people, but they are not contributing at all. I understand having a few "glue" players. However, there needs to be some tough conversations had by Coach Alameda, but will she do it? Put it this way, some players were not injured or freshmen, and only appeared in a handful of games.
In the few opportunities they had, it was like they had no business in the game. Players who have been on the roster two or more years and don't contribute, those players must exit the program to make room for better players. The standard is Oklahoma, and every player they have on the roster can play at a high level. A prime example is Oklahoma used four pitchers in the two-game series, and none of them had issues against an explosive FSU lineup. I know FSU had injuries, but it was an uphill climb if Reid and Royalty were 100 percent.
