Also received a commit from 2020 Carlee Ratcliff- 3B/IF New Boston, Texas

Mr. Google seems to indicate that she is a flip from Iowa State. Mike be flippin'! After Washington's announcement, I went and did a headcount of players and counted 6 seniors. I know that softball is not a head-count sport (which is one full scholarship for one player only - no splitting). But I did wonder if there would be a 6th person committing. And this also seems to be wrapping it up for Mike for the 2020 class.

Update:

Jayden (JJ) Smith 1B/3B/C/SS George Ranch High School, Richmond, Texas
Bailey Williams SS/OF from Murrietta Valley, CA
Kyleigh Sand IF/OF from Norco, CA
Ryleigh White, RHP, Washington Township, New Jersey
Alyssa, Washington, SS/C, Abilene, TX
Carlee Ratcliff, 3B/IF, New Boston, TX
 
I think White went hard after a couple a Georgia girls early on this year. Both ended up committing to the SEC so now I think he is having to go the flipping route.

The only commit I have not seen an official announcement on is Kyleigh Sand! She doesn’t seem to be much on Social media. She does show to be a Texas commit on the Corona Angels site. But it’s always nice to see that pic with the Texas Longhorn gear on and hanging up that Hook’em Horns! Makes me wonder whether she has made an official visit. That’s where many of the pictures in a Texas uniform come from??

I was looking back the last few weeks and I saw that Emily Cazares who was committed along with Ryleigh White to TN and both decomitted at the same time. Cazares said she did want to visit ASU and Texas to see if those programs would be a fit. That was a few weeks ago when we had 7 seniors on the roster. But since then, Taylor Ellsworth got her redshirt for 2019 (having played only 3 games) and so is now reclassified as a redshirt-junior. That may take away the 7th slot that for a 2020 recruit.

I guess we'll know Nov 13th when it's signing day.
 
Saw where Emily Cazares had visited Oregon a couple of weeks ago. But, a poster on another board reported that she later committed to Arizona State; nothing on social media yet confirming that.

Correct spelling of her name is Jordyn Whitaker from Jacksonville, Texas. Position is listed as pitcher and third base. She appears to swing a big bat though! Picture of her swinging a bat in this article.
All-16-5A Softball: Whitaker, McCown, Williams, Hicks earn superlative mention
Ok racer give us an updated list!

Not to put too much weight into it but the new player rankings for the class of 2020 are coming out.

So far
JJ Smith 93rd
Alyssa Washington 81
 
Really hope there's room for Aaliyah Ortiz, assuming we offered her and she's open to flipping from McNeese State.
 
Not related to signing day, but good to see Ryleigh White sporting Texas gear a couple of days before she signs her LOI
