2023 Libero Laney Choboy has Minnesota among her top schools is what I have heard. Stanford. Nebraska, Texas, and Florida are the other four mentioned. Word is she built a strong liking for Hugh and Matt before the rule change and likes them a lot.

Choboy would be a great get. I hadn't heard which schools she was considering. Of course, I have heard that just about every school will be considering offering her.

But of course it's all speculation at this stage of the game.

If I am correct, Stanford doesn't really do their recruiting in the same way as most others especially as it pertains to the academic piece. They would have to know she could meet the academic index to at least be a candidate for admission. I highly doubt that she's taken the ACT or SAT as a freshman. But from what I heard at USA HP it was those schools for sure in the top 5 and she had been to Texas and Minnesota and would be hitting camps at the other 3. I know she played with Wucherer for at least two years on USA and she is committed to Minnesota. She had attended other ACC and SEC camps but seemed to lean toward those 5. Of course it's all speculation and things could change given recruiting, the portal, and who really knows who each school will need until closer to that time. Stanford would be tough to turn down I would think.

Yes, Stanford does recruit differently but I'm sure they look at where the SA is currently academically and give them an idea, yes, you could possibly qualify if these things are met. Not uncommon to take Pre-ACT or SATs to prepare yourself and gauge.

That’s a good point. Just figured since you rarely see SA’s 3-4 years out on commitment lists to Stanford. She very well might be intending to head there. Will get more interesting after sophomore year

So is Hambly the bottom line reason recruits are now choosing Stanford or is it because "it's Stanford"?

It's not Hambly. It's the school.
Not that Kevin is a bad recruiter or anything. Not that it isn't a bonus to have him as the coach. Meaning I am sure there are plenty of coaches who could mess up that recruiting advantage. He isn't one of them. It really helps when you are a decent, honest human being, which I believe Kevin is.
But Stanford recruiting has never been a problem. Ever.

I know (R)uffda!*....So here's hoping these Future Top Recruits are prioritizing the Head Coach as one of their main reasons they choose Minnesota to play volleyball during their college days. After this past Gopher season, not too many people can argue that Hugh is one of the best, if not "the Best". We are very fortunate to have him here at Minnesota.
This fall will be his top recruiting class since he has been here. However, I would still love to see a transfer setter added to the roster.
It was heartbreaking about Miller's injury. There is no doubt in my mind without it, she and this last year's team would have been even more successful than they were.

As good of a school as Minnesota is, it is not Stanford. That will always be Hambley's advantage. And tradition. Extra points if the U cures COVID-19 infections.

Well, it would seem like we need at least a back-up setter if not a future starter by 2022 as Bayley McMenimen graduates in 2021. Who wants to be the setter commit between Shaffmaster and possibly a Seliger-Swenson? This will be a tough one. Even though we don't know that S-S will go to Minnesota, other people might think so. Unless Bayley graduates early, she is c/o 2022. She graduated HS in 2018.

Not possible. Last year was her soph year with the Gophs.
2018 grad makes her a 2018 frosh, btw.

Guess I am going by calendar year for graduation for academics- 2018/2019 freshman 2019/2020 soph 2020/2021 junior 2021/2022 senior graduates spring 2022. First year being the Fall when they play. Literally my first post so does VT count something different than normal academic year?

No. But even your calendar year makes her a sophomore. This was her 2nd season with the Gophers.
Yes, she graduates in 2022, but her last VB season will be the fall of 2021.
