Out at the Power 24 this weekend supporting my 2027 & 2028 unrecruited teammates who were there for me every step of the way. Beautiful day for softball!

Great advice, and the Truth.
Recruiting is a lot like dating. If you’re talking to multiple schools, you probably wouldn’t announce every conversation, every date, or every person who showed interest. You’d quietly build relationships and see where things lead. Offers are similar. Work quietly. Build relationships. Trust God’s timing. Not every opportunity is meant to become your future home. The time to make a big announcement is when you’ve found “the one” and you’re committed. Posting every offer rarely creates leverage, and sometimes it can actually turn coaches away. Focus on finding the right fit, not collecting logos. You can make plans, send emails, attend camps, and build relationships—but ultimately, God is the One directing your path. “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 ✝️🥎

Wow, thank you so much @softballhype for taking the time to shine a spotlight on me, and all the other athletes that allow Faith to help guide their paths, your work and energy is badly needed and appreciated. @NightmaresNew @gcusb
⭐️ @devonsoftball26 💪 @NightmaresNew 🥎 Centerfield 👩🏼‍🎓 Class of 2026 ✅ Committed to @gcusb 📚 Intended Major: Criminal Justice (Pre-Law) For Devon, finding the right college was about more than softball. She knew she wanted a Christian school, and the moment she stepped onto Georgian Court University’s campus, she fell in love. The welcoming environment, paired with the connection she felt with Coach Jim, made it clear that GCU was the perfect fit for her future both academically and athletically. She’s already off to a strong start this varsity season, batting an impressive: 📊 12-for-24 🔥 .500 AVG Over 7 games Devon has been playing softball since she was 9 years old and began competing in travel ball at 11. In center field, she thrives by using her speed to track balls down and make big-time diving catches. Fun fact: Devon was born on Leap Day — February 29th 🎉 Her recruiting advice: 👉 Start attending camps early and build real relationships with coaches. Those connections matter. One of her favorite softball memories came after playing her very first tournament with the Lady Nightmares — ending it by winning the championship. A moment that helped shape her love for the game and competitive spirit. Faith-driven, hardworking, and chasing big goals both on the field and in the courtroom ⚖️🥎 ——— Do you know or are you an uncommitted 2026 or 2027 ? Tell me about them and why they deserve to be spotlighted this summer. Let’s help these ladies find their collegiate homes! Tag them below or my DMs are open!

Great advice...
The transfer portal is beginning to see movement. And lots of it. But! The transfer portal is not a magic fix like social media makes it look. Last year, over 1600 softball athletes entered the portal… and roughly 33% all of them did not find new homes. Entering the portal basically means asking to be recruited all over again. Some athletes absolutely need a fresh start. Sometimes it’s the right move. But it also comes with risk: • less scholarship money available • roster spots disappearing fast • coaches choosing younger athletes or other transfers • ending up without a landing spot at all The portal has created opportunity AND instability. That’s why fit matters so much the first time around. Don’t just commit to a logo, ranking, or hype. Ask the hard questions. Make wise decisions. And understand that entering the portal is never guaranteed success.

Love night games under the lights! Robbed one on a rope to right center to save 2 runs in the top of the 1st. Ended up 3 for 3 with a SAC bunt. Sadly we didn't get the ending we wanted but we had a great night for a great cause.

Nothing this Queen can't do, I am so excited and grateful to get a front row seat to watch you continue to battle, grow, and succeed for the next 4 years. Finish strong, then see you in Lakewood! @GCULions @gcusb
I’m extremely proud to set the school record for career wins with 37 and also reach over 100 strikeouts for the 3rd consecutive season. These accomplishments mean a lot to me because they reflect all of my hard work in my 4 years of high school ball. I’m very thankful to all my coaches and teammates who made this possible. Season is not over yet! Excited for what is still to come. @ACC_Fastpitch @ACC_Athletics @mnilles3 @jillienwaldron @gcusb @BullockChicago @RickArmstrong28

⭐️ Resurrection Sunday ✝️ 👑 King of Kings ✝️ Savior 🌅 The Risen Christ Three days after the cross… everything changed. What looked like defeat became victory. What looked like loss became hope. What looked like the end became the beginning. Jesus chose the cross knowing the cost. He endured the suffering, the rejection, and the weight of our sin — all out of love. But the story didn’t end in the tomb. On the third day, the stone was rolled away. Death was defeated. Hope was restored. The resurrection wasn’t just a moment in history — it was a promise. A promise that no matter how dark things seem, God is still working. A promise that redemption is always possible. A promise that new life is waiting. Because He lives… We have hope. We have grace. We have victory. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 The resurrection changed everything. And it still does today. ✝️ ——— #SeniorSundaySpotlights will resume next week.
