“Ally Batenhorst is legitimately the best high school volleyball player I have ever seen. She is unreal. She refined her craft this year and somehow improved her ball control, which was already really, really good.” Allison Merrell Head Coach head coach at Tompkins High
playeroftheyear.gatorade.com/winner/ally-batenhorst/38215
Best player from Texas................going to Nebraska
Batenhorst has maintained a weighted 4.11 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball on scholarship at the University of Nebraska this fall.
ALLY BATENHORST OUTSIDE HITTER SEVEN LAKES HS KATY, TEXAS SENIOR HEIGHT: 6-FOOT-4
I doubt Batenhorst is going to Nebraska for the academics, but I could be wrong. I mean there's a chance the major she intends to pursue is in a department that has a high ranking wrt its peers, e.g., Animal Science. Her parents are from Nebraska... Again, this is not the Nebraska thread, this is the Texas thread. If this was the Nebraska thread, I'm sure people would be talking about why FOUR Gatorade POY will be sitting on the bench during the Fall 2021 season but I digress.

Not the Nebraska thread, but I think Rodriguez and Krause will get serious playing time, even if Sun comes back. Off-topic though sorry.

Can you spot the college volleyball coach? (hint, it's the one not wearing a collar)

My respect for Craig Skinner goes up every time I see/hear him in an interview or something. Also interesting to hear them break down the match a little bit after a pretty significant period of time.

From what I have heard she is not coming back That's disappointing...they made it sound like she was coming back after the championships. Assuming she doesn't come back, I think Parra would probably start then to shore up the passing and Iosia moves to libero. That's a pretty big loss for our backcourt though.

I wonder what her reason is. Prob just too much and I guess wants more availability and freedom to do things

That decision must have recently been made if it is true. Jerritt said a few weeks ago that everyone was returning. I was starting to raise my eyebrows a bit just based on the messages the players were posting on Instagram for her birthday. They were more goodbye and gonna miss you messages if anything.
If O'Brien does not return I believe Iosia is ready to take the libero role. I was very impressed with her this year especially during the tournament

Prob just too much and I guess wants more availability and freedom to do things Yes, I would guess that the combination of the demands of her graduate school program and playing volleyball were just too much. Need to remember that she initially came to Texas to go to graduate school only and didn't intend to play volleyball.
