I really like her as an under the radar talent. Her height may limit her in terms of being an OH at the next level, but I wouldn't rule this out. And she has the DS/L fall back. She has similarities and mannerisms on the court that remind me of Caroline Bien for Kansas.

Big arm, great hops, high IQ, and incredible defender. She can easily be a top Libero if she decides not to hit. But I can absolutely see her scoring in the Big 12, if she wants to play OH.

This is really touching...Rachel's late mother played at ISU: Part of Rachel's mom's amazing story is that she coached a team of third graders that has now produced FIVE (and counting) Power 5 commits. Rachel, Janelle Green, Ryan McAleer, Heidi Devers, and Cy Rae Campbell. (Jillian Huckabey of KC Power was also on that team and is likely to commit to a top program as well.) Pretty amazing legacy. 😇

Not sure if a 2023 or 2024. Probably 2024 - and a player from the Michigan area (or possibly southern cal area) given the clues.

Ehhh 60 sounds like an inflated number. I know some number 1 recruits that had maybe 10 scholarship offers. A phone call or a text and interest is not a scholarship offer. I’m sure she’s a great kid but this article lacks some humility.

That 60 doesn’t seem remotely accurate. Most top recruits got around 100 calls on June 15 and I’ve heard of zero calling back 60 of them. Maybe they called 20 schools back at most. Some only called back 10-15. And even a lower D1 or midmajor is going to want a phone call at minimum to make an offer. 60 is so astronomically off the norm that I have to think it’s a typo and they meant 6. Or maybe meant that 60 schools called her.

I’m sure she’s a great kid but this article lacks some humility. I have no idea how accurate it is, which is why I "quoted" it and linked the article. At a minimum, it sounds like she got 60 calls of "interest", including offers. It does look like she called them all back: "The college offers started pouring in. 'The first couple days it was pretty overwhelming, trying to set up phone calls,' Haury said. 'I basically printed out some papers of questions that I would ask each coach when I called them. I was kind of weeding out what I wanted from a college. I just tried to keep an open mind going into it all.'" We are in a brave new world when it comes to recruiting. Maybe it was akin to buying a lottery ticket. What they didn't know was that she "had made a connection with University of Washington coaches since she started attending their camps when she was 11 years old."
