    Softball recruiting

    Coach needs to take a long, hard look at Jordan Baughman. She's a JR at Circle and plays for the Kansas Blue Sox in the summer. The Blue Sox are a very strong A team and last summer she played with the U18 team in Texas and was by far their best player I'm told. I believe she's a SS/CF with a great bat and strong arm. Also a terrific student and individual from a great family. She's going to have a lot of options but I think there's a decent chance she'd stay close to home.

    I'll admit I have a niece that plays with one of the U12 teams for the Blue Sox and that Jordans little sister is on that team. I haven't seen Jordan play myself but she's the most talked about player from the 18s. I might get a shot to see Circle play some soon.

    Ummm, I'm not sure where you heard that but I know several girls on the 18U Blue Sox team from last year that would highly disagree with that. Two of them are doing very well at Tabor and one at Pitt State. To post something like that you should probably be pretty sure that what you are saying is true..... I know several girls on this year's 18's team would disagree with you also. However, Coach Megan is doing a great job with the Blue Sox organization and good luck to Jordan.

    ETA: There are good players on the 18's team, but none that I believe are DI caliber players....Just my opinion.

      I'm just going off what I've heard from some within the organization. She impressed quite a few in her short time with the team. I forget who she was playing with before the switch. Like I said though, I follow the 12s more and they're looking very good. I was just relaying what I've heard.

        Coach K needs to recruit players off Gold teams. Peppers, Zyphers, (which she has a couple coming from) Mac N Seitz and the like in Kansas, but for a pitcher will have to look elsewhere for a couple years. Our top uncommitted pitchers in state are sophomores and she is after a few of them that I am aware of.

        Also, this is one of the best sophomore HS classes I have seen in some time. Recruit players who can compete in the Valley, then worry about getting players to maintain a competitive game with the Big 12 teams.

            I was told that she intends to go to school and study to become a doctor, dropping softball after high school. Or is that what the "take a little to get her to play" is referring to? Take a little to convince her to play.

              I think I heard she was going to K-State but I may be wrong. She's a great player, it would be nice to see her in black and gold.

                Seriously, do we have any chance at this girl? What does her fastball top out at? Would she be an immediate No 1 starter here?

                  Do we have a list of softball signings somewhere?

                  Any uncommitted juco pitchers out there that could help?

                    Don't know of any as of right now. The regular signing period for the 2013 softball season is April 11th through August 1st. The early signing period for the 2014 season is usually the second full week of November. Most of the current freshman class were signed to LOI's in November 2010.

                      Signings

                      My recollection is that the new coaching staff signed a top pitcher out of Iowa are some state north of here for year, 2012-13. I dont' remember her name, but it should be available by scrolling thru the history available on the softball part of Go Shockers.

                        I don't find anything like that in the news archives on goShockers.com. Last signing announcement I saw was Pitcher Katherine Johnson on April 25, 2011.

                        Pitching Coach Samantha Sheeley, who played for HCKB at Emporia State, is from Coralville, Iowa.

                          But @xazshox: does ring a bell with me, too. It may not have been a signing, but an oral commitment. Research will have to wait until later.

                            I didn't remember correctly where I saw it. It's not on Go Shockers but on Shockernet under Women Sports, & you have to scroll back to last fall. Turns out it was an oral committment only. I didnt' find anything later that showed where she signed a LOI during the fall signing period. Here is what I found though & the piece on her oral commitment is buried at the of a whole lot of other WSU sports news on the web article below:

                            1. Hunter Stohlmeyer
                            From Paul Suellentrop's column in the Sunday Eagle:

                            Ames (Iowa) High pitcher Hunter Stohlmeyer orally committed to Wichita State's softball team last week, according to the Ames Tribune ....

                              Good recall @xazshox.

                              I remember watching this video now:
