Hello: Aidan Falk (sb)

Now with the Football season all but over (save #beat ohio), it is time to talk about our most recently successful varsity sport: Softball.  National Signing Day is Friday so I will give the board a run-down of the latest verbal commitments that are expected to sign with us on Friday. 

Coach Hutch seems to be focusing on power with this class in the mold of Chiddy and Ashley.  We are expected to get 3 kids from Orange County, California along with the player profiled below.

First up is Aidan Falk.  Aidan Hails from Rochester New York where she plays for Our Lady of Mercy.  Her summer team is the elite Battery Lightning gold.  She plays catcher and 1B, she bats and throws left.  In her junior year, Aidan’s batting average is .556 and her on-base percentage was .682.  Last year as a junior, Aidan was a Second-Team All-State selection.  MaxPreps ranks her in the top 60 nationally.

Aidan received an offer from ND, amongst other smaller D1 schools.  Welcome to the family Aidan.  We are happy to have you.  We hope your stay in AA is rewarding, your softball career is outstanding but more importantly; your education and studies bring enlightenment that only the Michigan Difference can bring.

Correct answer

The correct answer is men's swimming; they are the only sport to win the NCAA championship in their most recently completed season.

Great update, MGoSoftball; always appreciated!

Not sure what the definition for "varsity" is these days

But Men's Gymnastics also won the NCAA championship this past season, including #1 and #2 in the all-around, and will be hosting the championships right here in A2 this coming spring.  (Okay, I'm not there anymore, but when I talk about sports I am.)

But if we're talking about the traditional team sports, softball at M is hard to beat for consistency of excellence.

Welcome, Aidan!

My bad

Oh, right; of course Men's gymnastics (also a varsity sport) won the national championship last year too. 

Agreed that for team sports softball might just edge out hockey for most success over the recent several years, especially if you take into account the number of teams nationally.

I'm not

I'm not saying I'm not interested, I in fact am, which is why I commented  And I'm not bashing softball, I think their acheivements are outstanding. But I don't think we should be overlooking the achievements of the basketball team(and all others, swimming and gymnastics included) and downplaying them by saying softball is the most succesful team from last year like it's a fact.

So please, don't tell me what to do.

To be fair

Softball had a very successful season complete more recently than the others on the list, so this internet cop says everything is good here.



Now if you want to throw some successful fall sports up for comparison, that's worth discussing :)

1. bad mood

and 2. MGoSoftball posts updates about a Michigan Sport, and a HS kid who has committed to represent Michigan and get her education in Ann Arbor. The last I heard about recruits, is that they should be treated with respect.
The comment is disrespectful to the kid, the Michigan Softball team, the University and the OP.

its douchey.

You're way overreacting. He's not making the "usual" softball joke, he's talking about how our OLine. Just like everybody was saying in 2010, "Can they kick FG's?"

If we had QB issues, the post would be "Yeah but can she throw a fade route?"

Hutch continues to reel in

Hutch continues to reel in talent from across the country.  One can never emphasize enough how impressive her recruiting efforts are given the systemic disadvantages Michigan faces in this sport.  A testament to her tremendous work over the years and to the kids who believe in her & what she's built.  Hopefully it'll be four strong years in A2 for Falk!

Hello Aidan

As a longtime M softball fan I welcome updates on recruiting and on the team's progress. Maybe on occasion when you come across news of some former players you could pass it along. For example, one of my all-time favorite players is Dexter native Jennie Ritter. What's she doing these days? Any chance she could ever join the coaching staff? Unfortunately Hutch won't be around forever. If her succession plans could include Jennie, that'd be great for M softball. During her time with the team Jennie was a great athlete, a great competitor, and showed exceptional poise and character. Sound like there's a coach in there somewhere.
