Recruiting News & Notes (5/1)

A lot of verbals and signings came in this week helped by an e-mail blast to over 800 top club coaches around the country who are helping us get our list up to date!

That included players who signed in November we may have missed as well as recent verbals.

 

***

*** Case in point: one player we don’t have on the list but will in our next update is 2017 OF/P/1B Mikayla “Micky” Coelho who’s from Tracy, Calif. and plays with the Sorcerer organization, one of the top club programs out of Northern Calif.

Mikayla Coelho will stay close to home to play in the Pac-12.

Mikayla committed to Cal last Sunday after being offered two days before, according to her father Don, who I spoke to today.

“We are very pleased as you’d imagine,” the proud father said. “We’re about an hour away and geography was huge as far as factors.  Also, the academics obviously.  Mikayla is right where she needs to be, she has a 3.5 GPA.”

And the lefty thrower and hitter had other major school’s after her even though she’s still in her freshman year.

“She had interest from Oregon as an outfielder and we’re not sure what Cal’s looking at her as, it could be a variety of things as she can play multiple positions.”

Here’s video from a month ago of Mikayla pitching:

*** Besides Micky, here are the other 40 verbals/signings we come across (as always, if you have ones we’re missing, send to me at brentt@studentsports.com):
