I can't let this newsletter go out without congratulating SA's Kayla Lombardo on her wedding over the weekend. She looked absolutely stunning! Now, back to softball. Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to really zone in on recruiting. Who has the best recruiting class? Who just missed our Top 25? What about transfers, are they considered part of that class? We ranked the Top 25 recruiting classes on Sept. 3 and this week, we released six programs who just missed the cut.

Part II of her story will be online Friday. . -- Maren Angus --------------------------------------------------------------- [Follow on Twitter](#) [Friend on Facebook](#) [Forward to Friend]( Copyright © 2019, All rights reserved.
