The only “problem” is u even call it that, with smaller left sides that can still leap is blocking. Here’s why... so she can get her head leveled with the net which requires her to jump higher than most top outsides in college. However, all of those outsides can also do that... but when blocking they have much longer arms so they are still much bigger blockers. For instances, sun who is a averaged sized outside for top 10 schools blocking is much bigger than someone of 5’8 who may be able to get her head equal level that suns, but cannot make her arms grow. I think she is fanstastic but I think she may be better suited for just outside the top 10 or in the back half... like Florida or usc. Players like Kendall Kipp for instance are touching 10’6.... she may be able to jump very high but can she at 5’8 touch 10’6. If she can than she should have no problem. For her to be as successful as other outsides I think she will have to able to touch just as high as them. At the end of the day her high jumping won’t give her an advantage over a tall blocker who touches higher.

They can. Girls can committ at any age. To be clear, girls cannot commit at any age. They gave give a verbal at any age. Isn't committing and verbal the same thing? Signing is a different story.

Here is another question. Is it true that NCAA Div 1 prescribes at most 4.5 scholarships for mens v-ball? Or is the scholarship limit just guidance within a broader prescription to keep scholarships to a certain number? If the former, that seems odd - clearly a decision that seems to pick out men's vball for execution. You only need to reduce football scholarships by 8 from 85 to 77 to get full vball teams. I fail to see how such a reduction will substantially impact football operations. Or why not let schools or, better, conferences decide whether they want to fully populate vball teams with schollie athletes, at the expense of other programs? Let there be volleyball conferences, and baseball conferences, etc. The NCAA creates a limit on the amount of scholarships per sport. That list can be found here: www.scholarshipstats.com/ncaalimits.htmlI mostly agree with you. Or at the very least, reduce football scholarships. 66 for football would be enough to field two full teams and 2 special teams. That seems like more than enough and would free up 22 more scholarships for mens sports.

Commitment is non-binding and really means nothing until a LOI is signed. By definition, no one, neither the school nor the girl are "committed." Terms are used freely and interchangeably, but it's a misnomer to call a verbal a commitment of any sort. It's an intent to commit.

Also , she is 16 years old.... she’s running out of growing time being a girl, 16 is when girls typically stop growing. In rare cases they will grow more. I don’t think she’ll ever be above 5’10 at the most

5'10 is fine. Gregorski is 5'10 and touches 10'2. He likes rhe drive and work ethic of undersized athletes.

That is not universally true. "Age" is not the driving factor as to when girls stop growing. Are you a physician or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

Age is correlated, sure. But the increase of estrogen levels at the end of puberty is what fuses the growth plates. Girls' growth plates generally fuse about 2 years after menarche. Since that roughly tracks with age, then it's a good predictor, but it does vary. I will say that if this kid is only 5-8, she'll maaaaaybe get another inch or two if she's lucky, but she's not gonna be a 6-footer.

Of course it varies and that was acknowledged, but they are more than remotely statistically related. No one said there weren't other statistically significant factors, but my guess is age contributes most to this regression. Additionally, statistics clearly show that little growth, by and large, occurs after the age of 16.

There isn't a commitment from NCAA standards. www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/future/recruiting
