Harper Murray won her first big club tournament of the year with Legacy 17-1 in Cleveland. Caroline Jurevicius's team played at the same event and placed second in 18 Open. Jurevicius and Andi Jackson are playing six-rotation left side in club so far, because why not. Bergen Reilly is also playing 18s and will make a few trips to Nebraska for some regional events. Don't know what Hive is up to. Got any insight on Jurevicius? I was really disappointed at her not really playing at all during U18 (particularly with Kahahawai’s offensive struggles) because I was hoping to see how she plays. Not much out there in the realm of highlights. I know the staff was/is really big on her though and she was supposedly the top priority for that 2023 class Most physical player in Nebraska’s 2023 class. Best blocker. Her wingspan at the net is mildly terrifying. I’ll have a lot more after Feb. 18-21 when I can plant myself on a Triple Crown court and watch AVC in person. I’m still sifting through all the JVA film from Cleveland, which is basically grainy, 11-hour replays of every court. Yippee. |

I am a little surprised with these rankings. I'll admit that the only time I have seen either Allick or Mendelson play was in the in last year's U18 tournament. At the time I thought Allick could be a great Middle for Nebraska but that Mendelson would be ranked a bit higher. |

Like our last recruiting class, the "best recruiting class in any sport, all time," as I've heard said (and repeated here). It's all subjective. There are a thousand kids signed every year to D1 ball. How do you legit rank them? Is #1 really much different than #25? #50? Not by enough to be definitive. It's an embarrassment of riches that programs like ours can have a bit of an "aww" reaction when all of our recruits aren't ranked 1-5. Truth is, all these kids are good. I'd give my left arm to have been half as good as any of them when I was their age. |

At the time I thought Allick could be a great Middle for Nebraska but that Mendelson would be ranked a bit higher. Never be surprised by something totally subjective or in the end meaningless Rankings aren't meaningless, but we ascribe the wrong meaning to them. Without rankings, there is always power creep. So everyone tends toward the highest end of the bell curve, even if it's not statistically possible, because there's no reason not to. Players are happy to be rated higher. Fans are happy their future players are rated higher. Coaches aren't called into account for pulling in less talented classes than their peers. The only defense against this is to rank the players against one another numerically. No, it's never going to accurate. It's not possible. But at least this forces the hand of whoever is doing the evaluations to choose between one player over another. If they're horrible enough with their rankings over a long enough period of time, then that can be measured. If they consistently show some merit with their rankings, then that can be acknowledged as well. But to say definitively that a player ranked #3 is better than the player ranked #4 is missing the point. Especially when often times they're even at different positions. But without rankings, nearly everyone gets rated towards being a 5 star or what have you, because that's the only incentive left. I also feel like a lot of times some of the movement we see with players among ranking services is to drive discussion and interest as much as anything else. I'm sure there's often reasoning to it, too, but if the list just stayed staid from the moment of inception not only would it feel unrealistic, but it wouldn't elicit as much interest, either. There is without a doubt a tendency for the top 20 players on these lists to be overall better than the players ranked past 200. That's really the only importance they have. And even then it's not always true on an individual basis. And, of course, it makes it more fun to follow, which is a big part of the point of it all. |

It’s my opinion that certain schools add credibility to those recruits committed to such schools. So many players get lost in all of these rankings. Right now, the rankings are a joke. It’s sad that with the huge growth in the sport that the media and money-making VB websites cannot put time and effort into thoroughly evaluating the athletes. If I was a Husker fan, I would not get too excited about the rankings.

Her basketball ranking took a hit too. It’s not “meaningless” but it’s not perfect either |
