Mentioned it in the other thread.

She's the #2 ranked pitcher nationally and the #5 player overall by Flo.

The 2017 class consists of nothing but top-60 national players.

Great. 

Madison Uden is a top-70 nationally ranked player. Abby Skvarce is a great catcher that has a rocket for an arm. 

Uden will be taking the spot Romero was at in the middle.

Small class, but that's what it's replacing. The Sierras were the only ones originally on scholarship in that 2012 class. Susalla eventually earned one and earned a starting spot by her great play.

We've got two preferred walk on-types coming in with Uden and Skvarce. Haley Hoogenraad (OF) and Thais Gonzalez (2B).

I hate to admit that the only reason I know who she is right now is that both of her parents and I work for the same company, and for a while, her mom and I had offices about 20 feet from each other. Small world indeed. 

Still good news that we should hopefully be regulars at the Softball World Series for some time to come.

She seems like a great option to replace Betsa in 2018 but Michigan could be in trouble in 2017 if neither Blanco or Crockett take a major step forward as pitchers.

Agree with your comment on Crockett and Blanco.  Hopefully at least one of the two can become a solid #2 behind Betsa.  Will be interesting to see how the rotation develops next season.  

With Wagner and Driesenga having injuries in recent seasons, it shows how important pitching depth is.
