BOOM for LSU Softball

Yes she is a freshman in high school

Its a norm to commit sometime freshman or sophomore year in hs today.

hey we could be Florida and start offering them in 7th

We did hand out a offer to Maci who is an elite catcher in 8th

Its out of control but its not our fault this is how we have to play

LSU's recent success will truly be felt in 2018 classes and forward. The most recent classes were already practically assembled before LSU's recent dominance and WCWS appearances.

2020 and 2021 are both top 5 classes.

Torina always recruited well but not at this level from what we are now seeing. We are now much closer to recruiting classes much like OU with a class FULL of elite caliber players.


LSU's classes under Torina

2012:19
2013: 16
2014: 11
2015: 17
2016: 2
2017: 13
2018: 8
2019: 6
2020: 2
2021: 3

2019, 2020, 2021 is filled with a lot of power hitters as well.

Softball recruiting has been kicking arse lately. Looks like they'll be very good for a very long time if they keep this up.

Congrats Kaylen and welcome to the TIGER NATION and TIGER PARK!

Don't we need to bring in an elite pitcher in the near future?

You do realize that these are merely predictions based upon a subjective ranking system? I find it hilarious that you are touting these ranking like they are fact. These girls haven't even signed a LOI yet but woohoo!, we got the No. 2 ranked 2020 class and the No. 3 class in 2021. Looking forward to sitting down in 2025 and counting all of the Natties that LSU has from these classes.

Jesus you are one miserable person, you people would be the first ones bitching if we our classes didn't rank well. The players we have committed have been extremely successful playing the top players in the country. Its not just coincidence that they are ranked well. Why can't our fans be excited that we landed the top players I don't know why you post in these threads

LOL. I post because someone has to be the voice of reason here. Who is the more miserable person? The one who brings a little bit of sanity or the person who gets excited and has to make a post every time that a 12 year "commits" to LSU softball. I don't give a rats arse about rankings. All I care about is how they perform once they get on campus. Ask Less Miles and Ed Orgeron how many Natties all of those highly ranked players have won for LSU the past few years.

One more thing about these rankings. I have had occasion over the past few years to visit with Brentt Eads who runs FloSoftball. He confessed that he hasn't actually seen many of the girls that he has ranked play and has instead relied upon information provided to him by travel ball coaches (a real unbiased source), high school coaches (another unbiased source) and confidential conversations with college coaches (a more reliable source than the former 2). These "rankings" that you tout serve no other purpose than to get people like yourself to fork over the $60/year subscription fee to FloSoftball.

First to admit i don't know much about softball, but it seems a shutdown pitcher can best an all-star line up. Granted, you can't win w/o scoring but when a pitcher can starts every other or two out of three games, it appears that teams are better served to find two elite pitchers and build around them. That said, i'll trust the staff.
