1. Basketball: As I posted in another thread, failed to remedy the biggest problem with the existing squad, which is lack of height and an inside threat. One of the volleyball recruits is taller than the Bb recruits. Maybe the coach will look overseas for post players.
2. Volleyball. Only one top 100 recruit after 3 last year. But, after signing 3 big hitters last season, the needs were elsewhere this year and Fisher seems to have filled them with a MB, a defensive/serving specialist and a setter.
3. Soccer. Signed 7 players. Glad to see Waldrum recruiting California. Four of the 7 are defensive players, where we lacked quality/depth this year. A defender from FB/wrestling power Clovis CA should be physical if nothing else. Unlike the men’s team, Waldrum doesn’t recruit much overseas.
4. Lacrosse. Signed 9 players. The coach raves about all of them as she does every year. Who knows? I assume most lacrosse players are on small partial scholarships or are walking because there are so many each year.
5. Softball. Unlike her brain dead predecessor, at least the new coach understood that her biggest need was pitching, signing two pitchers among 5 early signees. The most intriguing is a 6’2 hurler from Ohio who has 17 no hitters and 636 Ks, albeit at a small school. But, for me the most shocking stat is that the Catcher from Hampton in the WPIAL allegedly has only struck out 5 times in 3 years on the varsity. As a former fast pitch softball player who didn’t strike out a lot, that figure is almost impossible for me to comprehend.
I’m not aware of other sports releasing signees yet.
