    Very cool. There are 3 or 4 different recruiting ranking sites and MaxPreps is probably the best and has been doing it the longest. I think all the services have Rothrock #1, the others don't have Williams that high because she missed last year with a really bad injury. Brown is a big time player and I agree with you. This is an elite group and the one he's building for 2024 will be almost as good from what I've been reading.

    until the ncaa does something about the transfer portal, teams like OU and UCLA will just reload, lose 4 all-americans, 4 transfer in, all chasing the ring.

    Haven't seen Kayla in a while, didn't realize she was still commenting. She was/is good. Maybe just me but seemed like there was something weird with one of her eyes not that it really matters.

    Agree but Walton hasn't done to bad himself. Wallace Echols and Lindaman aren't exactly chopped liver.

    I don’t follow baseball to much but if Jessica Mendoza has something to say it can’t be that bad.

    Ally the young shipman played in Tennessee for a year with her sister. Now she’s transferred to Alabama to make her own name.

    And it was Michigan graduate transfer pitcher Alex Storacko that just shut out UCLA. I think someone said we tried to get her too? So, yes, transfers can be so important. I don’t know that we’ve had great pitcher transfers (Lugo?), but we’ve had some great non-pitcher transfers (like Skyler Wallace).

    I get the feeling you’re a baseball guy and I’m a softball guy and that’s ok.

    @Porschegator referred to the incoming class for the 24 season. We are all waiting on that class to get here. There’s this season, then their freshman season, and then the 25 season. If we don’t see a serious uptick by then in our play against other ‘elite’ teams, then it will be time for CTW to make some serious decisions about his staff. Past time in fact.
