ESPN’s announcers and analysts repeatedly referred to Oklahoma's 59-3 national champions as the best team in college softball history.

He also worked with NBA players such as Michael Jordan in a sports marketing role for Oakley. Four Arizona softball players who have been reported to have entered the transfer portal were seldom-used. They include infielder Allie Enright, who got six at-bats last season; infielder Amber Toven, who got 14 at-bats; pitcher Jesse Fontes, a No. 4 option who pitched 27 innings; and utility player Giulia Koutsoyanopulos, limited to 27 starts.
