Bad time to be a HS softball player. If you aren’t a pitcher or at the very top of your class, you’re about to stop getting recruited by the P4. With the portal rules, they’re just going to keep going after proven performers to fill spots. Their thought is, "Why play an HS kid when you can get someone who already has college playing experience?" They'll make offers, but there won't be any money. The best shot is to go tear it up at a mid-major.
