2021 Softball Recruiting Thread

[blakem 296]

This looks like it’s going to be a very impactful class.

[99TGR 26]

Looks like we are starting to get the recruits needed to get back to the CWS. I believe this will be CMD's top rated class to date. 

[auburnfan247 27]

I’m really excited for this class! The Auburn fan base needs to be patient no matter what is going on on the field so we don’t start a negative cloud around the program that could affect recruits commitment, because CMD has a good plan coming along.

Very excited for the freshman class that’s there now and the future caliber of recruits CMDs pulling in.

[99TGR 26]

I wasn't aware there were 10 girls in the 2021 signing class. Big Signing Class.

I don’t think Keri Munn is still committed. Someone mentioned her dad posting that a while back.

Yeah. I had noticed earlier that there were no pitchers in that class, and thought that was odd. So I think it's true Munn didn't commit. 

And you refer to them as 2021 signee class. 

They haven't been signed yet. They are just commits.

[blakem 296]

Can someone with an extra innings subscription see what our 2021 class is ranked and list the top classes?

Louisiana-Lafayette? Are they a softball powerhouse? 

Great to see us 2nd. Now the 2021 class is not signed yet, right? These are just rankings of commits...?

[99TGR 26]

Louisiana- Lafayette is where Gerry Glasco went after Auburn. He is a good recruiter and there are a lot of good players/teams in the Texas area. 2021 class signs Wednesday. So technically they are commits until then. Strong recruiting class for CMD. 2022 class will be very strong as well. Two pitchers coming in that class. Emmah Rolfe is very talented. Might be the best pitcher in country even though her ranking is around 18th. 

[OlderWhiskey 953]

ULL, or just Louisiana as their alumni like, or ULaLa as LSU fans call them, was a softball power before Glasco got there.  They played us in the Super Regional at Auburn in 2015.  Known for their rabid fans in Lafayette.  The historical knock on them is their schedule not being strong enough.  Glasco and his staff have pulled in some high-profile transfers, notably a pitcher from Oregon, whose name escapes me at the moment.

I believe they also got a couple of Georgia transfers; one added this week.  Their stadium capacity is about 2.800 which includes 4 bleacher sections in the outfield.  They also added an indoor batting facility about 4 years ago.  They do seem to love their softball.  They were 18 - 6 in the shortened 2020 season which included a 2 out of 3 win over the Gators and  split with LSU, Texas and Oklahoma State.

Article from Auburn Undercover.  Really nothing new but it is something to read while we wait for the NLI's to arrive.

[slot canyon 1,333]

The NLI's are now showing up on the softball twitter page.

Lisenby was the most recent at this time.  Others who have signed are Rose Roach, Rylie Moody and Kenadie Cooper.

[blakem 296]

Abbey Smith and Nelia Peralta have also already signed

Some more reading material to keep us occupied.  To perk your interest there is a photo in a scanty two piece bathing suit,

Don't think on AU site yet but this was posted by Bri Ellis about an hour ago.

[blakem 296]

If she’s signed then we should have the whole class in. Unless we have a surprise

Blaine and Ellis  were the final two to sign so that completes the class.  Couple of high ranked catchers in this class.  Congratulations to the athletes and to the staff.  I had seen a recent article saying that Blaine had moved to Missouri last month.  I know she had taken a recruiting trip there a couple of years ago prior to committing to AU and I believe her Mom is from Missouri so I was keeping my fingers crossed that there would not be a late "defection".  I believe part of the reason for the move relates to the strict shut down restrictions in California as it relates to high school athletics.  I believe her sister is a volleyball player while Jessie Blaine plays both softball and basketball.

Absolutely they are a powerhouse. Top notch facility looks like a professional stadium. Pretty impressive that Glasco was able to elevate the program that was already a tough out for anyone.  Fans are more rabid about their softball than any other sport.
