http://www.texaseclipse.com/content/view/48/1/ Spy had a writeup about a tournament in June that had this:
A two-run home run by Brittany Schutte (Florida ) elevated the score to 5-1. Thanks I thought I had it the first time, but I kept retracing my steps and I couldn't find her commitment

Tegan Schmidt - Stanford - Grapettes Gold Gomes
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.

Congrats to these young players. The next 8 years of their life is laid out for them, stress free, no choices, no decisions. Now they just have to pass their High School classes and that darn driving test.

Im sure if the players don't turn out as expected when the now freshman goes into her senior year and applies at the school. I bet a few will be rejected and the coach has a free out because he or she can't honor the scholarship if the student cant get into the school. Im sure it isn't to hard for a coach to make a request of the admission dept to put someone on the waiting list ( will eventually accept them) . However gives the coach the leway to contact the athlete and tell them she or he can not wait to see if she gets in.

For years I have heard immature girls who are influenced by team colors and television exposure exclaim, "I want to go to UCLA" or "I want to go to Arizona". They prance about with clothing associate with their choice while their parents dream of grandeur for their offspring. . Now they are simply making those statements on a national level (I assume with the various collegiate coaches' warm embraces). It's called "early verbal".

With the sport catching on more, these early verbals will be more of a common place. This is unfortunate.

I personally think the early verbals will translate to more equality in the sport. Keep your eyes open and you will start seeing more mid majors making noise on the national scene in the next 2-3 years. It's all about time...and the more early verbals - the less time the mid major has to sit out there recruiting someone they wont get and they can concentrate more on a "late bloomer (16-17yr old) that fell under the Big time radar!

Seems like it would help the mid-majors ,who are operating at a huge disadvantage...less budget ,less coaches to scout , less players contacting them .

Sunday, August 24 Breana Kostreba commits to CAL
Sorcerer third baseman
Breana Kostreba has made a verbal commitment to accept a softball scholarship to the
University of California .
Kostreba, who is beginning her sophomore year at Aptos (CA) H.S., recently gave her commitment to Bears Head Coach Diane Ninemire. Kostreba had made an earlier visit to the Berkeley campus. "I had a great visit," Kostreba said. "I loved the campus. I'm focusing my studies in engineering and Cal offers many engineering options. I am also impressed with Coach Ninemire and her staff and I know I will be playing in a great softball program. I knew Cal was the right choice for me," she said. Kostreba carries a 4.0 GPA at Aptos High. An all-league performer, she also was selected last fall to attend the prestigious National Futures Elite Camp, one of only four 2011 players nation-wide to be selected.
Breana is one of a number of present and former Sorcerer players who are playing or will compete for the Bears. Junior Marissa Drewrey and soph Val Arioto are current Cal mainstays, and they will be joined by current Sorcerers 2009 infielder Jordan Wallace and 2010 second baseman Ashley Decker and 2010 first baseman Alex Robben.
Last season nearly three dozen former Sorcerers played in Division I college programs across the nation.
The Cal/Sorcerer pipeline reminds me alot of the Cal/WestBay Nuggets pipeline 6 or 7 years ago.
