Women's Soccer: Signing Day - ColoradoTree - 12-20-2018

Any soccer recruiting experts out there care to weigh in on the class we got?  I don't have a good sense of soccer recruiting, but I see we signed five players: D Madison Ayson (Rocklin, CA), MF Emily Chiao (Phoenix, AZ), MF Maya Doms (Davis, CA), MF Paige Rubenstein (Davis, CA), and D Kennedy Wesley (Rossmoor, CA).  

Per Top Drawer Soccer, Doms and Wesley are 5-star players, two of just 10 with that designation. Ayson, Chiao, and Rubenstein are 3-star recruits by that same service. I can't get more granular than that because of a paywall, but we certainly seem to have gotten some star power at the top of the class. (And I don't even know if that's a useful recruiting service; it's just the one I readily found.)

In terms of roster math, it looks like we're about on track, since we lose graduating seniors Alana Cook, Jordan DiBiasi, Tegan McGrady, and Michelle Xiao, as well as fifth-year player Alison Jahansouz. (Do you all know if Averie Collins didn't play this year due to injury or some other reason, and if she is going to return for a fifth year?) Of course, you can't just replace 4-year starters like that, but position-wise, we seem to be in good shape. (We didn't sign another keeper, but from what little I know, three keepers--a rising senior and two rising sophomores--seems like enough depth, with Lauren Rood as the presumptive starter.)

Anyone with more insight on the incoming class than I could glean from a little light googling?
