Former Cal catcher, Lindsey Ziegenhirt, is affiliated w/ the Lady Magic.

I could not find D'Anna Johnson IF/P, AASA-Merrida

I thought Bell had committed to UW?! Wow. Great, great pickup for us.

I knew Coach Spencer was going to be an attractive coach for these young ladies but she has really outdone herself in early recruiting.

I was right. Looks like she was originally committed to UW.

D'Auna Johnson plays for AASA. Is an Oregon commit. Are you saying she has now de-commited to Cal?

This link from AASA Merrida has SS D'Anna Johnson committed to Cal.

Wow. Snagging two top Nor Cal players previously committed to other Pac-12 programs.

Incredible job by the staff.

Intuit-thanks for confirming my find from Flo Softball. I did not recognize the AASA name. Do you know what high school that she attends? GO BEARS!

Looks like Folsom HS

I don't think coincidences are usually valid. Note that Rebecca Mueller is Cal's newest Asst. Coach and she had a long and distinguished prep career in Fair Oaks Ca. She is also noted as a friend/ acquaintance/ mentor/ coach of D'Aura.

I suspect when the smoke clears you will find Mueller is the reason D'Aura Johnson flipped from Oregon to California.

Evidently-DJ was playing for Sheldon HS as a soph. Jazzy Fines is another top soph there.

GO BEARS!

Coach Spencer is officially on twitter. Going from not one staff member having twitter to the entire staff is AWESOME.
