Rylie Slimp to UCLA
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I need to spend a little time catching up. But Slimp to UCLA?!!!!!! Huge surprise there. That’s about as surprising as the Bubke kid to UW. But they are from the same travel org so maybe that org recruiting coordinator has a magic wand. Slimp not even considered one of the top athletes on the circuit I don’t think. Other than the shock value nothing to see there. Could maybe assume Thomas isn’t going there if they took her but one would think they didn’t spend a lot on her. Thomas to FL looking more likely.
More important question is where is Salmon going. She was at OSU visiting this weekend. Social media says her 3rd visit.
Samya Jones or Thomas has no announcements up yet. Gotta be coming soon.
Is there anything big time left if we miss on all these?
She can swing it big time. Not sure why we didn't recruit her.
This is beyond ridiculous! Where is Texas Softball!!
Oh Shoot!!! Wow!!! Okay. In full agreement. We have a plan---at least that's what I'm gonna keep saying to myself Another stud down. This is crazy. We are too good with too much to offer to let this type of talent just leave TX. Certain Thomas will too. But we have a plan........
Is she #4 overall or #4 pitcher?FINALLY!!! One!!! Welcome Cambria!!!!!
She is #4 on Extra Innings and not ranked on Perfect Game. Good pitcher with great velo and good movement. Not as good as Fisher but pretty darn good. Glad we got one but needed more than her. Would have been nice to add something to it. Guessing we will be happy with this add and go hunting for the second tier (little money) players now.
Is she #4 overall or #4 pitcher?
Now that you put it that way, maybe this is the recruiting pattern for Mike.With Citlaly Gutierrez 2022 class, Teagan Kavan 2023 class, and now Cambria Salmon 2024 class Mike White has done a very good job of recruiting elite level pitchers into the program. Also have to include the transfer in of Mac Morgan by Coach White. Coach Singleton seems to be missing out on the elite fielders and hitters. We’ve already struck out on the top named players. It will be interesting to see what offers are out there from what is left. We sorely need some home run power. The 22 & 23 classes were highly rated. Hard to believe we will not continue that momentum.
At the Odessa game, sat on the regular home side since Odessa fans had filled out our regular season ticket side. We sat one row behind an African-American family. Mom, Dad, and slightly bored teen. Mom was very involved talking to people and taking pictures and sending them to her two daughters at home. At one time, one of Mike White's kids came down to talk to her mom and spent time talking to Mom.
Afterwards I was told, "I think that was a recruit and her parents"
Really? I was told they were talking about their return trip on Southwest airlines and the word Nashville was mentioned.
But then someone else said, "I think she's a signed recruit"
Parents are decked out in Longhorn gear. The daughter (the unsigned recruit? the signed recruit?) looking bored. I've seen this couple more than once which is why I made this wrong assumption they were parents of a current freshman player.
If you're an uncommitted recruit, your parents are decked out in Longhorn gear and you fly multiple times from outside of Texas to watch Fall ball?
Confused.
lol was it this young lady right here?

We received an unofficial visit from Harley Vestal out of New Braunfels Canyon HS, Texas Bombers Gold 16U. Position outfield. She is ranked 42 by Extra Innings Softball. Her saying “a great visit” is not resounding but since this is an unofficial visit not sure she has an offer.
The name Vestal and San Marcos had me thinking she's the sister of Brooke Vestal, a pitcher who spent 3 years mostly on the bench at OU and then transferred to Ole Miss.They are at the "next level" down of players in the 2024 class now. Harley Vestal is only 2024 I've seen come through since the one weekend with Salmon. Vestal is a good player just not top tier player. She can swing it a little bit and decent outfielder but not in the class with the kids we've been discussing and watched go elsewhere. We are scrounging in 2024 for lower money kids. 99% of the studs are off the table now.
They got a kid to decommit from one program to come here in the 2023 class that I am not familiar with. Power hitting kid it seems. But Salmon is our claim to fame for 2024 class now--good grab but we will have an underwhelming 2024 class. LSU, OU, UCLA are creme of crop 2024 classes right now. ARK close behind them.
