2026 Recruiting - Softball

I saw the town "Coahoma" and that's pretty distinctive, and I tried to remember where I saw that before....and it's the same home town has Hanna Wells, 2025 recruit (they sign in November).

I wonder if they found Clemmer while scouting Wells. Or vice versa.
Hannah and Mia claim to be bff’s and are the pitcher/catcher battery for Coahoma HS. They also play on the same travel club with Mia’s Dad as the coach. Mia is a power hitter and is a well known highly ranked player.
 
Extra Innings Softball has her ranked as the 22nd overall player in the nation.

22—Mia Clemmer, C/IF, Oklahoma Athletics – Madden/Clemmer

Mia, aka “Boo,” is one of the youngest and brightest players at the varsity level in West Texas. She was also among the leaders in most offensive categories in the nation and her knowledge of the game is way ahead of schedule for someone her age. For the last several years she has handled most of the pitch calling from behind the plate, when most coaches are still calling the game from the dugout. Mia owns the plate offensively and defensively, and Coach Brian Madden believes: “Balls just don’t find the backstop with this kid back there, but they sure seem to find the gap when she is in the batter’s box, and if not in the gap they very well could be in the parking lot behind the fence. One thing I find so special about her is the humbleness she has. No matter how great a game she has, you will never hear her talking about, but she will be hugging or fist bumping a teammate telling them how well they did. Her effort is always the same and she never takes a pitch or inning off, and if it’s a preseason or the end of season state playoffs you are going to get her best effort.”

4. Jordynn Booe, SS/UT, Pflugerville, TX
 
EIS has Jordynn ranked at #52. She has softball in her genes.

52—Jordynn Booe, 2B/OF, Unity 16U – Smith

Jordyn is a skilled two-sport athlete who also excels in volleyball and has continued to improve on the fastpitch fields as she competes against the very best in her age group and older. She has shown the ability to hit and be an impact player at every level she has played as a true triple threat that can continually put pressure on the defense and keep the opposing players off-balance. Says Head Coach Gary Smith: “Her skills stand out when you watch her play and she looks like she belongs.” Jordynn was her Texas District 12-6A Newcomer of the Year at Weiss High in Pflugerville, Texas and was the MVP for her school as a freshman. She also earned All-Academic team recognition and she is following in the footsteps of her mother who played Div. II softball for San Francisco State Univ. and helped her team finish 3rd at the College World Series and stroked a home run in her final collegiate at-bat.

5. Josie Busceme, OF, Austin, TX
 

Josie Busceme is not ranked in the top 100 on EIS. One quote I did find as stated from Alliance fastpitch was: Josie Busceme is an outfielder in the class of ‘26. She is a super fast lefty hitter/slapper who has both pop off the bat and speed on the bases. This sort of fits the profile of a speed player that schools may be recruiting to run the bases? She runs track (the sprints) at Bowie and holds the girls record for the Long Jump! Impressive, definitely a speedster.
Her profile on Sportsrecruits is:
I play select softball for the TX Bombers Gold 16U (Dale Serie). I will be starting my junior year of high school in the Fall '24 at James Bowie in Austin, TX. I am an A/B student & have dreams of playing college softball after high school. I earned 26-6A All-District & All-Academic honors in my 2 years of high school.

So basically a "walk-on" that won't be a walk-on by the time the lawsuit about NIL and paying players is done? Not to bash the young lady, but it's usually the suburbs around Austin that provide the better players, not South Austin.

I count 5 current juniors that will play their last year in Spring 2026, which dovetails with 5 commitments in 2026. Of course, transfer portal, blah-blah.

What really intrigues me is the negotiated roster size of the lawsuit. That rule (fully funding all players, thus putting a roster limit on the team) I forsee being a lawsuit in the future.
 
It will be interesting to see how this recruiting class plays out with the new scholarship limit of 25 in place for the 2025-26 season? Softball has one of the biggest increases in the scholarship limit.
An interesting article on the new rules in place. Times they are a changing!

Not a walk-on type players at all: she is fast, with power potential to come.

Mia Clemmer hits the ball very far, and receives well.

Booe is a legit triple threat.

All good pick ups.

Sounds like that latest recruit to be used like Popelka. Her batting avg was not high but used for the outfield and baserunning because of her speed. :hookem:
 
Anyone got any names of players that have been on official visits to Texas but have not committed anywhere??
Seems awful slow going into the first week of October? But there still are a lot of top 50 players who have not committed yet.
 
Softball America has our recruiting class ranked 4th so far. Hope we are not finished?? LSU is lights out with their class.
All top 10 classes are SEC schools!
 
Article from Prep Softball about Jordynn Booe. She admitted she was very surprised Texas offered her?? Me to! Not highly ranked player.
Didn't we also "pick up" this unknown player from Bowie HS (South Austin)? It's like Mike has a "use it or lose" scholarship mentality? I'm confused because Booe has to be a walkon along with the other player, who I can't think of her name right now.

It appears Mike White is finished with his 2026 recruiting class?? As much as I hate to say it, I do not understand Coach White's recruiting strategy? He seems to set a priority on getting local or a least Texas players. Doty and Abdullah seem to be top ranked legit players and Mia Clemmer is a power hitter and ranked in the top 100 nationally in most softball recruiting publications. But..... Jordynn Booe from Pflugerville and Josie Busceme from Austin Bowie seem to be really unknowns. I mean this is what Booe said, “It was just such a dream to hear that Texas even texted me. I was definitely a little shocked.” Like who am I to get an offer from Texas?
This 26 class are only Juniors in HS this year so maybe he is planning to pick up more players in the portal?? Did he miss on other elite players for this class?? Call me confused, and a little disappointed.

Softball is so far from a science on the rankings. Katie Stewart wasn't ranked until she committed to Texas and switched to playing for the Lady Dukes. Citlaly the same until she played for impact gold and bombers.

Busceme could have went to 3 or 4 SECs schools.

Also hard to get anymore elite infield recruits when you already committed the best defensive SS and one of the top pitchers the first weekend.

Just saying trust White and Singleton, they get the players that fit the team. A team full of super stars with half on the bench is just asking for cancer to eat away at it.
 
Great news! This is a winner. Not sure why it took so long but it was worth the wait!! Now this is a top ranked player!

Stevie South comes in ranked T-14 in the Extra Innings Softball rankings. EIS ranks 28 players her of her. Big Commitment for the Horns!

11-Stevie-South-150x150.jpg
14—Stevie South, C/OF, Hotshots National 08

One coach summarized Stevie this way: “She is elite at everything she does including how she can run, hit, throw, play defense, have a high softball, etc.” The athletic backstop batted at the top of the order for the Team USA 15U squad that beat Japan in the Utsugi Cup Championship in early June. On Day 1 of that tournament, Stevie went 1-for-2 and scored a run in the 3-0 victory over Italy and also that day, in a big 10-0 victory over China, Stevie went 3-for-3 and scored three runs while stealing a base. In the U15 Pan American Games in April, Stevie had a big triple in the title game win over Mexico and finished the tourney with an eight-game hitting streak and was named the Tournament Batting Champion as she hit a sizzling .684. Last Summer, she was named to the Extra Inning Softball All-Summer Team after she batted .464 with a .544 on-base percentage and had 12 triples, 52 RBIs, 83 runs scored and even 31 steals for the Hotshots – Galloway team.
 
softball America has her ranked #37. We definitely got a good one!!
