Does anyone know if beach star Alex Jupiter commited anywhere?...Seems like she'll be a top 10 recruit, but have not heard of her on this board at all?.....Just curious if anyone knew anything, which I'm sure someone knows?....Thanks!

I have not heard of her committing anywhere. She is a MONSTER physical specimen and has stuck it out with Sunshine VBC. |

I've heard that she's a Kim Willoughby/Ogonna Nnamani type of player. Very explosive.....It's very interesting where she will go. Did anyone hear of any schools interested in her?....Hawai'i or Florida perhaps?.....
I would guess why she hasn't played with the JNT or the YNT cause of her success on the beach.....

I think that she has narrowed down her choices to USC, Long Beach State, and Hawaii. No one has really talked about her because she does not play in a good club team and she is under the radar. But damn this girl can play. She is already a great all around player, can pass and block and she hits a very heavy ball.

Didn't Sunshine qualify in the JO's in the open division? So i would have to say her club team is pretty good.
I heard that her academics were on shaky ground. Isn't she home schooled?

Sunshine team was very competitive in the Open division, but sometimes "high profile" players like Jupiter get snagged by the bigger clubs like Golden West, Long Beach, etc. Sunshine has some great younger teams right now, too. I think that Alex also has dual nationality, which is why she might not be playing with the USA program. |

To put her in the same sentence as Nnamani, a girl who was taking her college team to the highest levels as a freshman, is just silly. With all due respect to the poster, if they were not both African American, I don't think this sort of comparison would have come to mind. I have watched Jupiter play on a number of occasions. She has excellent athletic talent but is extremely young as a volleyball player. She makes a lot of errors. While she has hops, it is not Ogonna-like.

I saw Alex Jupiter play at JO's this year just wandering around the Convention Center.
1) Pretty good hops, but very erratic as mentioned before. Not a lot of variety to her hitting. I watched a few balls sprayed cross-court at the 10 ft. line. She hits hard, nothing else in her arsenal yet.
2) She passed well on serve receive, but on defense looked shaky.

Nnamani wasn't exactly a polished gem when she was in high school, but you could see the potential. And she never was a good passer. Jupiter has the physical attributes to be every bit as good. |
