Softball: a whole new ball game

[FirefightnRick]

Saying LA-La recruited a softball player right out from under our nose is like saying the Longhorns recruited Jonathan Gray right out from under our nose.

No it isn't.  Gray was the 5th best player in the nation and the #1 RB overall chasing down every scoring record in the book.  Wallace was 16-8 her Junior season. We were in on her but was her last choice.  Her fourth choice over ULL, Drake and Tulsa?  East Carolina under Tracy Kee.

What I'm saying is: In Softball, LA-La is a national powerhouse.  When they offer a softball player, and UNT does too, it's kinda like when UT also offers a Football player UNT is after.   No shot.

We at least had a snowball's chance for Wallace.  Her parents liked the idea of her playing close but NT was terrible with a poor track record.  Had Kee been here with her record she had at ECU I think we would have had a better than good chance.  When she got injured after her freshman year the distance from home really was a rough time for her.

Interestingly, one of of my players on one of my all star teams used her bat she used in HS.  Jordan handed it down to her as a gift when she left for ULL.
