Was just ranked the number one high school recruit in the country and she’s a Coug. Women’s soccer might just turned the corner for a solid program to a contender.
DJ Rodman’s sister Trinity

How highly rated was Stu House? I can’t remember exactly, but he was pretty well regarded.
Didn't have overall rankings for football when Rypien was recruited. Lindgren would of been a no.1 recruit without a doubt.
I knowRono should have been.
No one knew much about him in Africa. I looked him up also looking for some type of article about him in his native country....nothing.Trinity had been committed to long-standing national power UCLA before switching to WSU and signing her LOI with us.
She recently (couple of months ago) was a standout, as one of the younger players, on the US U-20 Women’s National Team. She helped to lead them to the championship of our region (CONCACAF) and a berth at the U-20 Women’s World Cup. God only knows when that will now be played?
I read some commentary that called her the MVP of the U-20 National team’s WC qualifying tourney. She wasn’t the leading scorer, though she scored a number of goals (I’m thinking six, or more?) in the tourney. But she also assisted on a number of other goals and was said to have tracked back very well on defense.
I really liked that commentary. Mainly because it showed she was a true team player.
Too often “Star” players don’t fit into a team framework very well. Of course she was on a team of all stars with the U-20’s. So it’s a bit easier to fit in as a part of the team than to be over-relied on as the big star, in that setting.
But, coming in as a frosh, even a superstar talent frosh, she will have to earn her way at WSU. If she is the all around team player she appears to be, that will be a smoother transition. And the better she fits, the better the team will be overall.
Rono should have been.
Using that metric, perhaps we should include Bernard Lagat as well?

Drew Bledsoe was very highly ranked. I think he was the #1 QB, but not positive about that. Even at #1 QB he probably wasn't #1 overall.
