    Uncommitted players! If a collegiate coach personally invites you to a camp/workout and you are interested in their university, make sure you attend the camp. Travel ball is the avenue for getting looks, but these invites could be your only opportunities. @DWUSoftball

    Commitment to your team is important. that being said, when a college coach invites you to attend a camp, if you are interested you should attend. Missing a day of ball shouldn't be an issue as your coaches goal should be to get you recruited. U might only get one opportunity...

    What an incredible recruiting trip. Honored to connect with so many amazing people. Grateful for the support and following we've built in just over a week at USF. Back-to-back tournaments in the books. It’s been a grind, but worth it! The hunt for future Cougars is on. Blessed!

    Recruits! Going to a camp of the university you are interested in is very important, especially for 24's this late going into fall. 25's you are on the clock get ready.. it's time! If coaches invite you personally, they are interested. Get in front of them. @dwusoftball

    Softball is evolving.. The portal has changed things along with the time given back because of covid. There's a ton of top athletes out there still uncommitted so, make sure you are putting yourself in front of colleges that fit the next 40 years of your life after softball.

    Recruits! If you are interested in a school, you must put yourself in front of them at their camp, a visit/workout, tournament they attend. There's a lot of players out there, sometimes you only get one chance to make an impression. Don't wait for the summer. @dwusoftball
