Hoping our girls never need it, but self-protection skills are still so important for them to have!

AZ-native Brooklyn Ulrich was not recruited to ASU out of high school. She said she was told she was not good enough to play for the Sun Devils.

The timing of her recruitment means that's when Trisha Ford was running the program.

Four years later, Ulrich sent ASU to Super Regionals with a walk-off grand slam against Texas A&M.

The opposing coach?

“I trusted in Him not just in the good, but in the bad [this season]. I understand that suffering is good for us, as followers of Jesus. I’m taking that into my next route in [pastoral] ministry - Just leading people by example, as a servant, like Jesus was.”
- High Point Guard Chase Johnston after their loss vs Arkansas

Johnston was wearing a “Jesus Wins” shirt too 👏

TRUTH NUKE: Bill Maher: “I want to first of all say something about Western civilization. Kids, you don’t know what the f*ck it is. No, really! They think Western means white—and white means bad. Kids, first of all, everything bad that white people did, people of color did it, too. The Japanese before World War II and during World War II. And Genghis Khan, and I could go on and on.”

“The left is very down on America, very down on the West. And it’s ironic because the West has also given us everything that makes your life good here. Don’t ask Billie Eilish or Chappell Roan about what the Western values are, because they’ll just say it’s about oppression.”

“But it’s not about oppression. It’s about rule of law. It’s about respect for minorities. It’s about democracy. It’s about scientific inquiry. These are all good things that came from the Western world. I wish that schools would teach that again.”

📉 2026s: What’s Really Happening in Recruiting Right Now?

If you’re a 2026 and feeling like things are moving slower than expected in the recruiting process… you’re not alone.

I’m seeing a clear trend:
➡️ Coaches are being more selective.
➡️ Outreach is slower.
➡️ Commitments aren’t happening as early or as often as they used to.

Could this be the new normal in recruiting?

Here’s what’s influencing this shift:
🔁 The Transfer Portal – Programs are holding spots open for experienced transfers.
📦 Player Movement – Internal transfers and late commitments are causing roster instability.
📉 Smaller recruiting classes – Coaches are prioritizing need over potential.

So what should you do?

✅ Stay the course – Your process may look different than past classes, and that’s okay.
✅ Be proactive – Keep emailing, attending camps, and building connections.
✅ Stay ready – Work on the parts of your game that coaches care about most (athleticism, versatility, character).
✅ Have a wide net – Don’t limit yourself to one division or conference. Find your best fit, not just the biggest name.

Most importantly:
✨ Your timeline is not broken.
The recruiting world is changing. Trust the process.

I’m here to guide you through it all. Let’s go! 💪

This may be an unpopular opinion… but softball peeps — I know you’re grinding this summer, chasing goals, going to camps, etc. Just don’t forget to be a kid too. Go on that trip. Say yes to the sleepover. The grind is real — but so is being a kid. Don’t miss both.

Sitting the bench at a D1 to go to an eh D1 just to say you’re at a D1… 😐STOP IT!😐 Go somewhere you can be GREAT and make a difference!

D1 is great and all, BUT there are also GREAT DII, DIII, NAIA, & JUCOs!

There are some DIIs that would beat some DIs.. just sayin!
