Looks like another busy weekend for 2024 recruits, as our Horns drop a 10-inning scrimmage to TX State. But TX State seems to always tag us---They love our colors/pitching or something LoL. UCLA with a few solid commits....
UCLA COMMITS THREE!!!: LSU opened this recruiting season up with a bang but has been quiet since then. UCLA is on it now with 4 commits in the last week or so and 3 this past weekend:
****Sofia Mujica (Ranked #1 catcher by Extra Innings and #3 by Perfect Game) COMMITTED to UCLA. Don't think we are in market for catcher but she is definitely one of the top 3 in class (Cori Hicks another committed to OU).
***Kaniya Braggs COMMITTED to UCLA this weekend. She is on the Lady Dukes travel team--loaded with committed kids. She is good from what I can tell.
***Aleena Garcia from Corona Angels COMMITTED to UCLA. Solid athletic player with Corona Angels.
OTHERS
*Samya Jones was at Stanford this weekend. Rumor was potentially LSU awhile back. Been hearing Washington or TN lately, but she hasn't visited Washington from what I've seen so maybe that is just rumor. And after seeing her at Stanford (and previously Purdue), who the heck knows. Might have academic value of the degree as a big criteria.
*Tia Milloy was at UCLA this weekend. UCLA and OU have been all I've seen on her so far. Not looking like her or Jones will visit TX. Another baller that can go that might be making the rich richer. She has the pedigree, the size and I know both those schools love California gals. But with the UCLA adds this past weekend Milloy may end up elsewhere soon. I saw Patty Gasso still openly interacting with her social media---hints?.
*Townson Thomas at Florida this weekend. Still rumored Florida and UCLA odds on favorites. Don't think we get any of these 3 kids (Samya, Tia or Townsen). They are all big-time studs that probably have their pick of schools with full rides.
*Paislie Allen at Georgia this past weekend. Still think she's as close to a lock for us as there might be out there. All I recall so far is Salmon, Thomas, Allen on visits unless there have been a few under cover visits.
*Esther White also visited Georgia. She's been to TN, LSU, Ohio State and Auburn. Not as highly sought after as some of the names we throw around a lot here and not on our radar it seems, but kid getting solid attention from top rated programs. Good size and pop.
*Nothing on Salmon since UCLA. UCLA got Fisher so one would guess she isn't going there but you never know! They did just commit two more in Mujica and Bragg. With NIL money and other factors UCLA might be able to convince her to join Fisher (scary!!!). Think we still have a shot at her but with no announcements from her yet, there is little doubt she is checking another school or two out. I only know of UCLA and TX for visits for her so far. If she was out this past weekend haven't heard or run across it anywhere.
They all have to be coming to the end of their visits. All of these mentioned have been to multiple visits and there is no doubt they've received big offers. Would be surprised if we don't know their destinations over the next couple of weeks or so. At this point I'm beginning to feel like it would be a HUGE win if we get Salmon and Allen because I don't see us getting any of those others. Especially Salmon. She will have some great options so I'm sure White and Singleton are holding their breaths.
LSU and UCLA top class so far but LSU only has 2. Bruins with the best class so far with the top arm and 3 solid position kids. OU has solid start too as usual but they go to the portal so much hard to value their "2024" class with the transfers coming in (5 top transfers this year).
