Assuming that Taylor is a slam dunk for Stanford has been one of those fallacies. My source had given me the go-ahead to post that the scuttlebutt guessing as to specific recruits was "two hot, one "off" and the rest warm". Those two "hot" prospects are now committed to the admissions process, along with one "warm". Taylor Harvey may well end up yet as part of SU's 2025 recruiting class. It is still in process. complete guesses but im gonna say its parks and Mullen that have already committed and that Harvey and Demaria are 'warm' and suli Davis being 'off' I have no reason to think these things other than about parks, just speculating. maybe id switch the guesses of Mullen and Demaria as I did hear a little back that Demaria really wanted to go to stanford Just a curious question about Mullen, I know that she’s prepdig’s #2 recruit for 2025 and with all those USAV experience as the starting opposite - is she really THAT good as a 6’1 opposite? I have a feeling the 2 “hot” - Parks + Demaria, 2 “warm” - Harvey + Mullen, 1 cold is Davis.

If indeed we get Mullen by 2025, this might be the shortest set of pins we have in a while. Blyashov will be the tallest at 6’3, Harvey, Kurt and Mullen all 6’1. I’m sure they won’t be short of skill and hops but just worth to note. We’ve had Klineman, Spelman, Plummer, Fitzmorris, Kipp, Baird all 6’3 and above.

Not sure I ever believe listed heights but no reason to believe they have specifically inflated her height versus others. Watching her on the court she looks about 6-3 to me. Could be wrong about that. FWIW, Rubin is short. We list her at 6-1 but I bet even in her volleyball shoes she isn't 6-0. Harvey is also pretty short....

I remember reading that she was 6’1 but could be years ago and she has grown. That didn’t make sense because when she was standing next to Skyler Pierce (Nebraska recruit, 6’2), Mullen looked obviously taller. I guess the longer Mullen stays uncommitted, the better for Stanford. Imagine if we get those in our wishlist - Parks, Mullen, Demaria and Harvey, a top recruiting class for sure.

I do think Mullen is that good. she's very skilled as an opposite for her age another way to look at it is Nebraska, who has far and away out recruited everyone over the last few years, had Mullen as their #1 player to get for the 2025 class. she was one of the very few they offered immediately following June 15th

I’m hearing good things re: Harvey on Nebraska’s end as well. Fun little recruiting battle lol! You guys will have Allick, Jackson AND Ames in 2025 when Harvey is a freshman!! Go away 😭 Look for a 2026 middle 😤 Lol, don't worry, Nebraska is probably leading for Keoni Williams at this point, so 2026 isn't being neglected.

actually Stanford has three 2025 commits I now edit my prediction to the three commits being parks, mullen, and Demaria with Harvey and a libero still being heavily pursued

To be honest… height isn’t everything. Yes, Klineman was amazing at 6-5 - who would5 want that level of height and skill in one package? What is more important is skill level, athleticism, and being a great teammate.
Remember, Tami Alede was ‘only’ 6-2 but lead the country in blocks because she was athletic AF, was able to read the setter well and closed the block.
Mullen is a great player, whether she is 6-1 or 6-3.

Williams is probably one the top 4 MBs in the 2026 class. She has a lot of potential, but I wouldn't necessarily consider her the best in that class currently. The 2025 MB class is much deeper than the 2026 class and the top 3 or 4 MBs in that class would be ranked ahead of Williams for context.

Well, an OH that is being converted to libero. That's the word around town, and that she is supposed to be a solid prospect.
