Softball Recruiting: Tigers starting to attract the blue-chip prospects

CLEMSON – Clemson softball recruiting is earning attention from the blue-chip prospects.

The Clemson softball team just finished its third season and it’s a program ahead of schedule. In two full seasons, John Rittman’s squad has earned two different NCAA Regional invites, hosted a NCAA Regional, and played in a Super Regional. The Tigers have also won an ACC regular-season championship.

Not bad for a program that didn’t exist before it was announced in 2017.

Rittman has relied on transfers through the first three seasons – players like Cammy Pereira, Marissa Guimbarda, and even Sam Russ have all provided a spark.
