Casual observations: Kennedy Powell from North of Houston played for UCLA last year. Hit the portal and is now at A&M. Wonder why? Homesick? Academics? Financial? Parents want to see her play in person? Got attacked by some "non-housed" people?Forgot to add, I know a currently highly recruited class of 2025 pitcher. She did go tour SDSU but was not impressed with their facilities. Definite curb appeal turn-off. And yes @RADcatcher, the Pokerface appears to be a turn-off as having a coach's enthusiasm makes the player and the parents special.
Lauren Hatch also a Houston area talent. Is a Jr. ONLY used as a pinch runner with 0 AB's. Several transferred back to Calif from Arizona too.
