Since Sunday (Nov. 2), when we last published our Line Drive Master Commit Spreadsheet, 25 more players in the 2027 and 2026 classes have finalized their college choices!   

We LOVE hearing from you players, coaches and family members about the excitement of committing to a college so feel free to e-mail any info to Brentt.Eads@LineDriveMedia.com involving your great news & we may publish on our site.

For example, here are two such examples of great notes sent in from the softball community just this week:

*** On Sunday, Jay Thorne e-mailed to tell us that his daughter Maggie Thorne, a 2027 catcher/third baseman with Indiana Magic Gold – Moore, had committed to Charleston Southern University.

I wrote him back and asked what it was about CSU that Maggie liked enough to verbal. He asked her and shared what she had to say… here are her words:

“I choose CSU because of the way the coaches treated me.  They were so kind and welcoming to me and my family and genuinely cared about me.” 

“I feel in love with the campus, the city, and the facilities during my visit.  I will be able to major in Education with a minor in Coaching, which is exactly what I want to do, so that is super nice.  Once I learned more about the school and the coaches and the program, I knew it was exactly where I wanted to be.”

Anyone have similar stories to tell? Let us know and we may share your story too!

*** Another example: softball mom Lynette Sylvester writes:

If you know of a commit AT ANY LEVEL, email Brentt.Eads@LineDriveMedia.com to get the verbal added to our Master Commit Spreadsheet (see below for examples)

Here is our weekly publishing schedule moving forward:

• Sundays: the latest verbals + our “master lists” of those who are committed list in 3 ways:

1. 1. By date; meaning when we entered the players into our Master Commit Spreadsheet, most recent first.
   2. By college/university; to see which programs are racking up the talent.
   3. By class; separating the 2027’s and 2026’s who have committed since Sept. 1.

• Wednesdays: the list of the latest verbals (since the previous Sunday)

Here are some Twitter posts of just a few who shared their happy news online over the last few days:
