No idea if we're encouraging any 2024 recruits to "take their time". I'm sure if Pierce wanted to commit to Texas a few days ago, we wouldn't turn her away. On the flip side, the more high school recruits Nebraska signs, the less active they'll be in the transfer portal, right?  2021: S - Kennedi Orr L - Lexi Rodriguez OH - Ally Batenhorst OH - Lindsay Krause 2022: OH - Hayden Kubik MB- Bekka Allick DS - Masie Bosiger MB - Maggie Mendelson (on basketball scholarship for now; but, that doesn't change her sets played) 2023: OPP - Caroline Jurevicius OH - Harper Murray MB - Andi Jackson S - Bergen Reilly 2024: MB - Ayden Ames OH - Skyler Pierce While the cream will rise to the top, there will be attrition just like there is in every program. Consistently bringing in highly-ranked elite high school talent is a good problem to have. But, it'll be interesting to watch how many of the above stay at Nebraska all 4 years. If they do, then possibly no scholarships for transfers (which I guess you don't really need IF everyone plays up their recruiting rankings). dont forget 2024 Olivia Mauch as well. Lib She isn’t starting on scholarship so I assume that’s why he didn’t include her. His post was about the guaranteed scholarships |

Okay, Skipping past all that. Looking at the players that will likely be around jn 2024, looks like we’d be after a middle blocker right? Is Favor in our sights and Vice versa? Who are the other top recruits in that class that we’d maybe be after.

Who are the other top recruits in that class that we’d maybe be after. The best source of information I’ve ever seen on this site regarding Texas volleyball recruiting is from the social media sleuths. Until the players start posting about visits, coaches start following specific players and vice versa, or someone sees them at a game (like against Minnesota this year) it’s hard to know. And like horns1 points out, Texas is likely only going to have one scholarship to give out unless future attrition is factored in. It’s just not likely to be a hugely active recruiting cycle. |

And like horns1 points out, Texas is likely only going to have one scholarship to give out unless future attrition is factored in. It’s just not likely to be a hugely active recruiting cycle. For 2023, not all our verbal commitments waited until after attending the Stanford match. Auburn Tomkinson announced her verbal commitment on social media months before September; thought Sydney Helmers did the same. Byrd took a few other official visits (Florida & Wisconsin, maybe Purdue and Penn State, too) before announcing for Texas after the home match against Stanford. 2022 Devin Kahahawai was definitely not the typical recruitment as she waited to take her official visits in early Fall 2021; obviously, COVID travel restrictions played a part in that. Lots of 2024 recruits were followed on Instagram by TexasVolleyball (right after Jordan Larson was hired); very unusual b/c that account didn't just follow anyone; the norm was to not follow a recruit until after they had verbally committed. Erik Sullivan started doing the same, including follows of Skylar Pierce and Ayden Ames. Prior to the 2023 recruiting class, most Texas verbal commits happened relatively early in the process. After being verbally committed for months (if not years), and after having signed their LOI's in mid-November of their senior years, they'd then take their official visits like during Thanksgiving weekend, or the weekend of the sub-regional in early December. Official visits were simply a formality as these recruits had been on campus several time for summer camps, unofficial visits, fall/spring matches, etc. |

I don't want to clutter the thread with Husker talk, but no, Bosiger isn't. It's mentioned in several articles that she's walking on. |

The other thing to consider is that 2024 recruits can't really "slow-play" the coaches unless they are like Top 10-20 caliber recruits. The COVID season adds an experienced, pool of transfer portal players who might not have a home with their existing school for their 5th season of eligibility. That extra season is for those players who were in college Fall of 2020; so, that still has another 2-3 classes that would be affected.

Who are the other top recruits in that class that we’d maybe be after. I think the 2024 needs depend a lot on where the coaching staff believes 2022 Devin Kahahawai (OH or OPP) and 2023 Jordyn Byrd (MB or at one of the pins) will play. Since Madi's sister played her fifth season (at Baylor), I'm gonna assume Madi stays at Texas through 2024. I could see Parra and Akana doing the same (for education reasons) assuming the staff is on board with them playing in 2024. Come 2024: MB: Marianna Singletary, Nyah Bunton, and Jordyn Byrd (maybe) OH: Madi Skinner, Sydney Helmers, Melanie Parra OPP: Devin Kahahawai and Auburn Tomkinson L/DS: Akana and Emma Halter Setter: Ella Swindle Gotta bring in another scholarship setter come 2024, whether high school or college transfer. Crownover joining the 2022 recruiting class (as a walk-on) so late doesn't give me confidence that she can set the team at a high level if something kept Swindle out of a match. |

Boesiger is a walk-on and i don’t believe is promised a scholarship for the future. Evans, another backcourt or setter walk-on, was given a scholarship for the past spring semester. But I don’t believe it is automatically rolled over for this upcoming fall semester. The scholarship for Akana and her surprise transfer to Texas opens up one scholarship. I believe Nebraska tried to recruit the Graduate senior libero from Baylor in the portal. This Friday it was announced on the Wisconsin site she picked Wisconsin over Nebraska. So the scholarship hangs and maybe Evans enjoys another semester or two on scholarship. It is getting late in the game for the fall semester. |

I don’t think they had one for Bramshreiber. |

Dear god, don't bring up the Akana scholarship situation again. It's been discussed ad nauseam. Plus, this is a Texas recruiting thread anyways. |
