A highly regarded recruit, Keely Edwards picked the University of Arkansas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

National Scouting Report softball prospect Keely Edwards is arguably the best high school female athlete in Arkansas.\u00a0 The three-sport Harrisburg High School senior is an all-state performer in softball and tennis and an all-conference player in basketball.<\/p>\n

Yet, Robby Wilson, NSR’s National Softball Director and Area Director\u00a0 in Arkansas, had never heard of her.\u00a0 That’s highly unusual because Wilson has a reputation for being everywhere at the same time.<\/p>\n

“In the Spring 2014, Keely’s high school coach sent me an email saying she might possibly have one of the best shortstops in the South on her team, and highly recommended I come to watch,” Wilson recalled.\u00a0 “So I came to scout her a few days later.\u00a0 She went 3 for 3 with two triples and a double, five for five in stolen bases, and a couple of big ESPY-type defensive plays that left me in awe.\u00a0 I called her parents the next day and, after chatting with them, went a couple days later to sit down and interview her.<\/p>\n

“She and\u00a0her family were so green to the recruiting process\u00a0and Keely\u00a0didn’t know exactly how good she was. It blew my mind when I mentioned college softball and she got all excited saying she didn’t care what level or division, she just wanted to play.”<\/p>\n
