Wait a second...Heavener is playing 16U as a Junior in highschool? I obviously have no idea what her situation is but that certainly makes me question her stats and her class rankings.

Technically speaking rising senior(s) in high school now, but yes, as well as Harris(same team) play 16's only. Phillips and Calvez are the only ones that have been playing 18's exclusively(3+ seasons). Jones & Franklin teams now full time in 18's as well, Jones team has jumped into that arena many times in previous seasons as well. The gap is vast between the two club divisions, especially for pitchers and hitters. Hopefully the two still in 16's this summer can bridge that gap quickly with only one summer left before making the really big jump to SEC that will include Oklahoma and Texas as a welcome gift.

Edit - *Franklin first season 18's

To that point, she like half of our 24 class are playing/competing within their peer group(17/16) and below(14,15 yr olds) in 16U division. Given her talent, expectations to have success amongst a consistently younger opponent are high as is in her high school circuit. Playing in 18U with her peers and older(17/18+) for next season's summer club ball will show a little closer window towards future(early) success at SEC level. The kid is extremely gifted, just wish they were playing the highest comp available for the undeniable development it yields. Would love to see her come in and put up numbers like Berzon first year.

She will most likely be 1b for any major program. Those closest are saying Tennessee is likely top choice.

Needless to say, it’s a great recruiting class. Guessing time will weigh all that out when it’s more than just paper driving the Who’s who. All of them are solid, translating their game at the next level is an entirely different animal however and wishing them All great success for the program.
