First thought, What will the Sooners have and who will they just have lost?
- The Sooners will lose 6 players after 2025 - Coor, Dayton, Agbayani, Emerling, Deal and Monticelli. That will leave the roster at 18 players (without transfers in and out) after the 2026 season.
I do not think the Sooners will want to keep the roster much higher than 20-22.
- I am still working on this....but it is more or less complete.
- Almost all of these players have been to one or more Sooners Camps or Showcases. There are a couple I am not sure about.
- The more ***'s by their name, the more I think it is likely that they may become Sooners.
- There is usually a local Oklahoma recruit, you will see them listed.
- *** RHP / 1B - Ella Kate Smith --> SA-3, EIS T-4 (Top 8) - Impact Gold – Jazz (Katy, TX) - #1 Primary Pitchers - I see evidence that Smith wants to perhaps be a Sooner.
- *** RHP / UT - Addison Rackley --> SA - 16, EIS T-7 (Top 14) - Georgia Impact – Taylor - #3 Pitcher/Player -- PGF 2026 Futures Game - I see clear evidence that Smith wants to perhaps be a Sooner.
- * RHP / UT - Keegan Baker --> Edmond Memorial HS - OK A's National - #8 Pitcher/Player - This is one of those Oklahoma players in the mix.
- ** LHP / 1B - Kelsie Donaldson --> TGA Sciara - Raymore, MO - #30 Primary Pitchers - She is about the only LH Pitcher in the class that could be taken.
- RHP/OF - Ayla Tuua --> SA - NA, EIS #89 (Top110) BSC Bengals 16U – Briggs - #30 Primary Pitchers -- PGF 2026 Futures Game - Tuua may be a late bloomer and could be a surprise pick.
- LH C/OF - Torynn Slaughter --> OC Batbusters Black and C - Tessa Cowsill --> OC Batbusters Stith - I list these two because there is a connection from Batbusters to the Sooners. A 'backup' catcher may take a good connection to make it happen.
- C / IF - Mia Clemmer --> SA - NA, EIS T-22, Oklahoma Athletics – Madden/Clemmer - Coahoma, TX HS - The Sooners are familiar with Clemmer. But she is from the same town as Hannah Wells RHP 2025 Class who committed to Texas. That may swing her to UT.
- ** LH Catcher / CF - Stevie South --> SA - NA, EIS - NA - USA U15 WOMENS NATIONAL TEAM - Hotshots Nat'l Nelson - PGF 2026 Futures Game - Magnolia, Texas - I think this might be a strong recruit. The connection to the Hotshots Nelson team is a plus as well. If she can play the OF, it works a bit better.
- 3B / Inf - Mia Johnson - 3B/IF --> SA - NA, EIS - T-43 (Top 64) - Atlanta Vipers – Tamborra - #3 Third Base - The Sooners do not recruit a corner infielder often, but.
- ** MIF / OF - Shayla Bahr --> SA - 24, EIS T-10 (Top 21) - Georgia Impact – Taylor - #3 Middle Infielders - This could be a pick for development.
- MI-C-UT - Reese Poage --> SA - NA, EIS - NA - Iowa Premier National 16U Dickel/James - There may be a connection building with the Iowa Premier organization. Poage is a sleeper pickup.
- ** MIF Liv Keiter --> Top Gun 16 National - Kami Keiter's cousin - #7 MIF - This is another reach-out to an Oklahoma recruit.
- *** OF / MIF - Abreya Perry --> SA - 6, EIS T-2 (Top 4) - Aces Fastpitch 16U – Taylor - #1 Outfielder - It looks like Perry may be a special talent. OU will recruit her with A. Parker's and McDaniel's help hopefully.
- OF / 1B - Bella Maria --> SA - 21, EIS T-12 (Top 24) - Intensity 16U - BOD - #3 Outfielder - She should climb up the rankings I think.
- * OF - Alexi Thigpen --> SA - NA, EIS - #45 (Top 65) - Iowa Premier – Shannon - #18 Outfielder - It looks like she wants to be a Sooner if she can be.
Currently, these would be my ideal (4) four 2026 recruits.
1. Ella Kate Smith or Addison Rackley - RHP
2. Shayla Bahr - SS
3. Abreya Perry - OF
4. Stevie South - LH C / OF (Especially if she is a good outfielder.)
4. Alternate - Kelsie Donaldson - LHP
Hopefully this can be pinned for future reference.
Boomer Sooner!
