As for her wanting to potentially go to medical school, good for her, but if a pro volleyball career is primary focus, she's not going to medical school anytime soon, so that is almost a moot point. I also fail to understand how her going to "less demanding" undergrad program somehow makes her a better applicant for medical school (It doesn't). I also have a feeling that Stanford graduates have more students in acclaimed medical schools than UNL graduates. I could be wrong, though. I imagine the curve in Orgo and Physics is a lot more forgiving in Lincoln. It's all undergrad. Undergrad is easy everywhere. I went to one of the best schools in the country, studied materials engineering, and played football. It was time-intensive, but not too rigorous in the grand scheme of things. Stanford will afford a better alumni network, but the education received in undergrad is a result of the student's talents and effort, not the university/college they attend. Grad school is different. There you get actual tutelage by leading academics in your field; choosing the right mentor and environment is critical.

I don't see why volleyball credentials wouldn't be at the top of her priority list... I've read she may be interested in med school, in which case, UNL holds its own. The undergrad program would be less demanding with similar results. Pre-med UNL grads have a wide variety of grad schools to choose from. Not to mention UNMC is among the premier med schools in the country. In her case, I think it could come down to where she wants to end up, making lasting friendships, etc. Nebraska could be the better choice for her, you don't know, I don't know, it's not all about a prestigious degree, especially when you have a potential pro VB career to be thinking about. I will agree that neither of us knows which choice is best for her, the question is (and other recruits too) does she? Other than superficial reasons (like nicer facilities), does Nebraska volleyball offer any better "credentials" than Stanford? I don't think so. It's not like playing in front of a sold out crowd will somehow give Fitzmorris a better chance at an Olympic spot in the future. As for her wanting to potentially go to medical school, good for her, but if a pro volleyball career is primary focus, she's not going to medical school anytime soon, so that is almost a moot point. I also fail to understand how her going to "less demanding" undergrad program somehow makes her a better applicant for medical school (It doesn't). I also have a feeling that Stanford graduates have more students in acclaimed medical schools than UNL graduates. I could be wrong, though. I also don't get how Nebraska would be a better choice to make "lasting friendships"? what does that mean exactly? Can she not make "lasting friendships" at Stanford? Does Nebraska volleyball offer better credentials than Stanford? No, but they have different coaches, different teammates, and different competition. It's not much of a difference credentials-wise, but it's worth taking into consideration for becoming the best player that you can. If she's not going to med school anytime soon, what's the need for a Stanford degree? Unless she plans on being world-renowned in the field of medicine, she will be able to learn the exact same things at Nebraska. "Life after volleyball" is important of course, but it's not like she'll ever be waiting tables. Her life after volleyball will be fine, I'm sure. My point is that she would essentially learn the same concepts in school, only with a less demanding workload, which could be nice for balancing her time out with volleyball. I'm not saying that makes UNL more appealing as an applicant, but I am saying that UNL is respectable in its own right. The same principles of biology, chemistry, physics apply no matter where you go to school. I should have let that sentence (italicized now) to stand alone. All I meant to say was that I think her decision will come down to where she wants to end up and making lasting friendships. Period. I didn't say Nebraska is better for that, and I didn't say she can't find that at Stanford. I just think those could be the deciding factors for her. You may be right though. She's not far away from NE right now, and making the move to Cali is a big deal... I just don't think a Bachelor's degree from Stanford makes a difference if being a pro volleyball player is what you want to do. For a player like Fitzmorris, I would value volleyball credentials over a prestigious degree.

And as for your last comment 'For a player like Fitzmorris, I would value volleyball credentials over a prestigious degree', well with Stanford you don't have to choose one over the other, you get both.

Has Hunter Atherton been asked to try out for any junior USA teams as a setter? I thought she made the hp youth A2 team, but I can't find it.

There has been much excitement and anticipation for all the Huskers middle recruits in the past few years and look where we are. My club friends indicate the recent commit is much like the current middles. Time will tell. Fitzmorris appears to be leveling off, but will still be a quality "get" for those 8-10 schools still in contention. Fitzmorris won't be a "quality get" she's a deal changer Thank you Dorothy, I suspected as much.

Personally, I see her fitting in better at Stanford. She's a quieter player whose personality would be more in line with the team and coaches at a school like that, kind of a Pavan-like player (and we all know how that turned out...). Choosing athletics over academics does not seem to be a top priority, nor should it be for any player in the grander scheme of things.
