I don’t know. I feel like being the #1 overall recruit (without all the hype) shouldn’t have been beat out by 2 freshman in her 5th year. I would say she fell short of the expectations of a top recruit. You really didn't comprehend my comment. The other major sports recruiting rankings primarily use the star rankings for evaluation purposes, not the numerical position rankings. So if we are using the star ranking, she is a 5-star and likely the top 20-30 recruits are also 5-stars. Also its not realistic to think #1 is significantly better than #10 or #20 or #30. In after the fact evaluation in other sports, a 5-star that became an All-American would be considered by most as meeting expectations. You could’ve made that a little more clear, lol. Still, a 5 star recruit getting beat out in her super senior season does not feel like meeting expectations, but that’s just me. All love to Lexi!

Lexi gets an outsized amount of attention because 1) she’s so pretty 2) she had the highest profile transfer I can remember But it would be interesting to see the #1 recruits from the past few years and the highest accolades/team results they got. I don’t pay much attention to prep rankings, so the only #1 recruits I can remember are Sun, Orr, and Franklin(?) Franklin was not the #1 recruit of her class. Landfair was. Also, the “Lexi gets trolled so much because she’s pretty” excuse is really ick. She’s multiple years out of college now and is no longer playing the sport, no reason for someone to dig up this thread except to be an ass.

It’s not a justification, but there has to be SOME reason and I think it’s because our culture is fascinated by attractive people Landfair reminds me that Wucherer was a #1 recruit too

Lexi is universal and lives rent free in the minds of many on volleytalk.

What happened her fifth year does not diminish that, particularly since that was an unusual year.

Lexi has moved on with her life, away from volleyball. Why are we still having an active thread on her?
As for her...eh, non-volleyball talent ("looks"), man I hate it whenever that subject rear up. Granted, I've been guilty myself on occasion by mentioning that issue, but it was a never a focus of my posts.
Like ok I get it, some people are just gifted with brains, physical talent and good looks. But can we not dwell on beauty so often?

Do you have any idea why Sun was so hyped before she started college? Now that time has passed, she was an elite prospect but I would say the top hitters in every class have similar talent levels so it's hard to understand now how she was hyped so much.

Also doesn’t Landfair have 2 years of eligibility left and Franklin only has 1? Did Landfair have a medical redshirt that year she got hurt?

Does anyone know what happened to her these days? Why do you want to know? Just wondering, 'cause the volleyball phase of her life has ended, so whatever she does next isn't really a concern here, right?

Landfair had an injury in 2021 early in the season and sat out the rest of it. Sounds like they got the medical redshirt for her. So 2020 (21 spring): Played, doesn't count cuz covid 21: Played only a little, medical redshirt 22: Season 1 of eligibility 23: Season 2 of eligibility 24&25: Last two seasons

One of the fan favorites in all of volleyball history, maybe she will show up in one of the 3 leagues. Or ends up a coach somewhere.
