since watching the u19 team, i've been thinking about how good of a player favor is & a spears/favor/messer combo would be scary @ usc...i'm really hoping spears comes to texas...but if spears decides on usc i hope they whip some big 10 ass is there any reason we suspect usc is even in the mix for spears? did I miss something posted There was an article posted by Adrenaline Volleyball where they cited her saying that she was considering USC. |

Spears is over a week into her recruitment process and says, “It's been good, it hasn't been too stressful. I get a lot of advice from my older teammates advising me to not take too many calls and manage my time when talking to coaches.”
Spears has been in contact with schools in the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC. “Having conversations with the coaches helps me get a feel for what school might be best for me.”
Spears currently has five schools that she is talking to. “I haven't narrowed it down to two yet, I'm still taking calls, getting to know not only the coaching staff but the program as well”, said Spears.
Spears wants to play in the most competitive conference, “I love the Big Ten because it's the most competitive conference right now, but the SEC is also growing and becoming more competitive.”
Spears is adamant about visiting and getting on campus before committing. “I think it's important to see the school in person so that I can get a feel for what my life could be like for the next 4 years”, said Spears.
Spears added, “Location has never really mattered to me.”
Whether her future home is in-state or out-of-state, Spears wants to explore all her options and find the university that best suits her and her goals.
While Spears is a competitor she also respects and is motivated by her teammates.
“The most important thing to me is my team. Whatever the team needs from me to be I try to play that role while playing my game as well. I'm being consistently pushed by my teammates and that is something that I appreciate and that helps my game continue to grow”, said Spears.
Being the #1 recruit in the country comes with a lot of pressure and coaches can get eager and impatient with top recruits, often giving them strict timelines to make a quick decision. That hasn't swayed or affected Cari's path.
Spears wants to commit after taking her last visit, “I want to commit as soon as possible, but it will be after my visits”, said Spears. “I told coaches if they need to move forward with other recruits they can because I know for sure I want to take my visits before committing.”
Spears' ultimate decision will be based on
*her initial discussions with coaches
*her interactions with prospective teammates
*the universities academic options,
*but most importantly—the success of the program.

I didn’t see anyone link the article but I did see some people mention her accolades. Might have been in the main thread. Thanks for posting it here. We’ve decided to call her Vander Wow (by “we” I mean me) thanks to widdledumpling’s post talking about her performance in this tournament. Great pickup, for sure! I loved her comments in accepting the award, too. |

Central High School, Phoenix, Arizona.
One of the few places she can move from to cool down over the summer.

I loved her comments in accepting the award, too. U-19 MVP and best OH at age 16, that is some heady stuff. I watched most of the USA's pool games and all of the elimination matches - she is one cool operator. Doesn't get phased or rattled when she gets blocked, great attitude and a fantastic teammate. The future is very, very bright |
