***WBB: 2025 Recruiting Thread***

Per her instagram stories, we just offered Lena Girardi. She's not on the list yet but likely will be in the next few days. She is the daughter of former MLB player and manager Joe Girardi.
Lena is a name you don't hear often. But it is an interesting offer and here are a few of a good number of links on Lena:

Oh, good point. Bill and Billy are both big Cards fans, but at least Josh Carper is a Cubs fan. Not sure about the other coaches.
Bill's recruitment will fall off when..."Hey Lena what was Stan "the Man" Musial jersey number?" Don't know Coach...

Funny thing is there is a Musial in the class of 2025 on my radar. Only followed by Jodi at the moment (so she's not on the main list) but she has offers from a bunch of mid-majors including UNI. No relation to Stan that I know of.

EDIT:
She actually is somehow related to Stan. Her brother plays baseball for Arkansas State, and his bio calls him "a relative of Baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial". https://astateredwolves.com/news/20...ll-welcomes-20-newcomers-for-2024-season.aspx

Isn't Caleb Grill's mother named Lena? I kind of remember that from the season he played with a broken hand.
 
Updated to note that Addie Deal has an ISU offer, although I'm not certain when -- she doesn't tend to post her offers on twitter.

Deal is a top-10 type and is possibly ISU's top target in this class. She'll have plenty of offers to choose from, as you can see below.
