Plucked Cora Bassett from PUke. She was all-Big Ten this past season, had 22 rbi and scored 15 runs. She will be a junior and is from Newburgh, IN where she graduated from Castle HS. The link is to her PUke stats. https://purduesports.com/sports/softball/roster/cora-bassett/10472

Questionable as to how much effort we're still putting into recruiting Reed which IMO is pretty minimal if any but he does have an IU offer. He announced today he's leaving Chaminade HS in St. Louis and transferring to Link Year Academy in Branson, MO. The rumors are totally unfounded that he'll also be working part time at Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner and Show venue in Branson.

I thought it was Grant Gelon.

Pitt probably feels it has a firm commit coming from someone else. Quick recap -- Jalen originally committed to Pitt in Dec. 2019 and then subsequently de-committed in June 2020. Then saw this tweet from Jalen's uncle -- Wild. Because Pitt was #1 on the list for my nephew Jalen. Idiotic move by Pitt to not want a top 30 recruit who wanted them lol. Pitt will always be pitt
