Signing week was quite eventful with a number of players choosing to sign with different schools on NLI Signing day.

Outfielder Estella Bennett, younger sister of former UCLA centerfielder Chip Bennett was all set to sign with UCLA when plans suddenly because of financial reasons. Bennett wasted no time finding another school announcing on November 16th that she would be signing with Arizona State.

Her signing was made official on November 27th. 

No. 32 Hot 100 recruit Nyomi Jones was committed to Tennessee but had a change of heart deciding to sign with Ole Miss officially on November 28th. The longtime Firecracker is now playing for the Corona Angels.


Corona Angels corner infielder Bella Rocco changed schools after the Louisville coaching change. Rocco officially signed with Boise State under the guidance of Maggie Livreri. She posted a .603 batting average with 52 RBI and 11 home runs her junior year accumulating 33 home runs so far in her career at Jurupa Hills High School.

On the club front, there is a huge shakeup in the 14U division with Georgia Impact - Fisher's team merging with Tennessee Mojo. Josh Fisher's team is currently ranked No. 3 in the country and will undergo a number of changes going without ace Kirsten Fleet (2023, Georgia), shortstop Brionna Condon (2022, South Carolina), outfielder Jayden Laneaux (2023, LSU), and outfielder/shortstop Taylor Malvin (2022, Syracuse).

Jaydyn "Shorty" Goodwin (2022, Georgia), Emma Langston (2022, Georgia), Caydra Parker (2022, South Carolina), Mia Williams (2023, Florida), and Alexis Winter are moving over to Mojo 04 - Fisher.

Tulsa Elite recently added a top 16U team from Oklahoma, Gametime Stars - Walde. Ranked in the FAB 50, Bobby Walde's team finished 5th at USA Elite Select WFC and 25th at Colorado Fireworks Power Pool.
