More than Alhassan, Washington, or Foecke? I'm not too sure about that. Did anyone compare her to any other recruit? She isn't the only deal changer, but she is a deal changer I was asking you a specific question about the breadth of your comment. Switch off from Defensive Mode. |

Other than Larson, no recent or current Husker middle was highly ranked (probably McNeal before her). There's no one on the current roster like Stivrins (closest would be Hall, but they're even different). She's a true middle. Larson and Keil are completely different. You can even count Foecke who's probably a top 5 recruit next year, but she's destined for one of the pins. You received some bad info. It's been a while since they've had an elite level middle on the roster Delano was pretty good as a sophomore and junior a couple years ago. |

I think she should go to Stanford. She has been around her family all her life, take the opportunity to experience something different for college. Stanford's campus is renowned for its aesthetics. Volleyball is "quite premier" at Stanford too, all sports are, it's the premier sports college in the nation. I won't lie, the Devaney Center is a better facility than Maples, but I think a degree from Stanford and the networking that comes along with sets up an individual for life...Frankly, I'd pick that over a few years in the Devaney every day of the week. If she's being smart about her life, and not focused on sold out matches in the Devaney, Stanford is a no brainer. Sometimes I feel like top recruits look too much at the volleyball and not enough about their future after volleyball. That's not to say that other universities can't deliver great educations and promising futures, but Stanford is at another level compared to UNL, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. |

Huskers get big recruit with local connectionsDidn't see this mentioned in this thread yet: 16 hours ago • By BRENT C. WAGNER / Lincoln Journal Star It was hard to tell who was more excited, the newest Nebraska volleyball recruit, Lauren Stivrins, or her extended family. “It’s equal, let me tell you,” Stivrins said late Wednesday in a phone interview, shortly after giving NU coach John Cook the news that she was going to accept NU's scholarship offer. Cook is on vacation, but was happy to take the call. Stivrins is from Scottsdale, Ariz., but has several ties to Nebraska. Her dad, Alex, was a basketball standout at Lincoln East, before a college career at Creighton and Colorado. He was playing professionally in Spain when he met his wife, Claire, who is from England. Lauren Stivrins' grandma, Opal, is a NU volleyball season-ticket holder. So is her uncle, Tim Stivrins, a doctor in Lincoln. Her godparents live in Omaha and are season-ticket holders. Stivrins is a promising recruit for the Husker program. She’s already about 6-foot-4 heading into her junior season in high school, and will play middle blocker in college. She joins an already talented 2016 class that includes outside hitter Molly Haggerty from Chicago, setter Hunter Atherton from Ohio and middle blocker Sarah Allick from Lincoln North Star. Stivrins chose Nebraska over USC and UCLA.

Everytime I try to read the articles from this paper the text beyond the first few lines gets blocked out for some reason. |

That's not to say that other universities can't deliver great educations and promising futures, but Stanford is at another level compared to UNL, anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. 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? |

I imagine the curve in Orgo and Physics is a lot more forgiving in Lincoln. |

Has anyone actually heard anything recently about the choices at the top of her list or is this all based on wishful thinking? BTW, there is nothing wrong at all with wishful thinking. I believe her older sister played at three different colleges; none of which were anywhere close to Kansas City. I am not sure her family has a need for her to play close to home. |

Fitzmorris appears to be leveling off, but will still be a quality "get" for those 8-10 schools still in contention. Can you provide some foundation for your statement? Have you been watching her on a regular basis? |

Most of these elite athletes end up playing in the pro's for years and then open a string of coffee shops while coaching. Does that require a Stanford education? |
