I think Blanchard will take

I think Blanchard will take over at C and Sweet will take Bree's spot at CF. We'll need to replace some serious talent at the corners, but we have two in-field recruits coming in who could fill one or both of those spots. Either way, this is a team that brings back much of their talent, so next year should be even better.

Recruits

Right now, 2 players have signed letters of intent:  Sierra Lawrence is a speedy middle infielder from Norcross, Georgia.  Sierra Romero is a power hitting middle infielder from Murrieta, California.

They can both play anywhere in the field, according to Hutchins.  The article implies that they will announce a couple more signees after the season ends (Michigan can't officially say anything until the letters are signed).  All I can tell is what I can read between the lines of the official release on the Michigan website:

http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/w-softbl/spec-rel/111411aaa.html

I agree that there is a good chance that Lauren Sweet moves from catcher to outfield.  I'm guessing the outfield will be Sappingfield in left, Doyle in center and Sweet in right.  I also figure one of the freshmen takes over at third and there are a few possibilities at first:  either Lane moves from second to first and the other incoming freshman plays second, or we see Taylor Hasselbach (or Mandy Gardner) move into the lineup at first base.  I'm guessing Hasselbach is our first baseman next year.

I will defer to Mgosoftball's judgment; he probably knows more than I do about such things.

So this is the first time

So this is the first time I've payed attention to softball... thanks to this board.  I may be wrong, but it seemed like most of the current team is from Michigan... and most of those recruits are national... is this a new trend that more national recruits are interested in Michigan softball?

Probably not a trend

Right now, Michigan's roster is 8 from Michigan and 11 from the rest of the US (6 CA, 3 IL, 1 TX, 1 MD).  That means that a typical recruiting class is 2 from Michigan and 3 from the rest of the US.

This is mostly speculation, but I think what you are seeing is the fact that Michigan owns recruiting in Michigan, and can wait to get in-state commits, while they want to wrap up commits from out of state as quickly as possible.  So when you look at the early commits, you will only see the out-of-state players listed.  The top in-state players will pick Michigan whenever they are offered.

Interesting comparison to

Interesting comparison to football recruiting... pretty much the same strategy that Urban Meyer is trying at ohio, with the critical difference being, he doesn't have his own state nearly as locked up as he thought.

Bree will

be missed.  She nearly gave her life (literally) for this team.

The Sierra Twins will certainly have an immediate impact.  I dont see Sweet moving to the OF.  I think Sierra will head to RF, Colie takes command in CF and Lyndsay goes to LF.

At 1B, we still have Mandy Gardner.  Coach had her at 1B earlier in the season.  I am not sure what happened (possible injury?) but Chiddy quickly took over.  So I think Mandy takes over for Chiddy.
