LSU lands pair of Top-10 recruits in Karmen Vazquez and Ayla Tuua

Beth Torina and her staff sent out their ‘Callin’ Baton Rouge’ three times this weekend and it was a home run group. LSU already secured a verbal commitment from sixth-overall and third-ranked Addie Rackley earlier on Sunday. Late Sunday evening, Karmen Vazquez and Ayla Tuua, a pair of top-10 recruits from California, announced their commitments to the Tigers.

Vazquez is primarily a catcher who comes from the Dirtdogs organization. She was a PGF All-American this past season. Vazquez planned on waiting to make her decision until early October but said that instantly felt at home during her visit and fit what she wanted.

Tuua is a very talented two-way from BSC Bengals organization. She’s powerful in the circle and at the plate. She had previously visited Oklahoma and Texas before committing to LSU following her visit.
