Wait what do yoi consider that as to be I know she was at USA NTDP and UA Next, also read shes one of the top in Both North and South carolina But in terms of the club she plays for? Also isnt Louisville known fow working so well with hidden gems as thought i think with her height and arm speed they could work well with that She’s never been to the official USA NTDP. What she was invited to was a Region Accelerator, which is not a great indicator of the best of the best in the state because those girls go to the actual national NTDP. Not that rankings matter, but she’s also not on any list. She hasn’t been able to go up against the best of the best because her club team at CJV hasn’t been able to get that far. They play in the USA/Premier division and don’t even get close to winning there. I wouldn’t consider UA Next the top either. BUT, you are so right she is a diamond in the rough! And Louisville can do great things with her, but at this point we just don’t know how it’s going to translate ,so I still think it’s an unknown. She may do better than Utterback & Petersen but you really just don’t know. This makes a lot of sense depending on the caliber she is used to playing on can reflect on how she plays in college. I also remember i think Louisville found her from going viral on reels not based off rank or articles etc. VBA said some good stuff about her yesterday so i really expect great thing from her nonetheless. But there’s no denying her explosiveness is better

But there’s no denying her explosiveness is better I am surprised she hasn’t followed Ryan Hunter to Triangle or the setter from her high school team to Triangle as well. Maybe she does that next season, would be a great move for her as it paid dividends for Ryan to make the move.

I think with her commiyment to Lou she could possibly upgrade for the sake of college prep and putting herself out there, she deserves to be on the bigger stage on her kind of Caliber just like she was with Ryan Hunter

Olivia Siskin just announced her commitment to Virginia, so that guess was wrong. A 6'1 setter would have been great for depth but im still curious on who the 5th recruit is, still have no close clue except Keoni but Louisville just unfollwed her today so maybe she declined an offer recently idk

I have not seen anyone think that Wisconsin is a potential destination for Williams unless she was exclusively training to be on the right. Hope for DBK's sake, it's Williams! Isn't Wisconsin getting Linney Tarnow and Ella Andrews, two of the the top middles already?

I agree, DBK does not take chnaces when it comes to the Libero/DS position. Even tho she has so many to pick from. Louisville used to be one of the best passing teams but all hell broke lose after 2022. I think she wants to go back to that and find a STAR libero or good enough DS to at least keep the backrow steady if the current libs are not trustworthy. Plus the Liberos she recruited are former setters. Its unpredictable if they would thrive as a college Lib but anything is possible DBK anfd elena scott did it. Lets see tho im pretty sure this recruit is a Pin or Setter more likely so. It would be crazy to see Louisville pick up one of the top 5 liberos. Clark and Grimes have not commited. Is it possible? Maybe but im gonna go do some FBI shi rn After heavily going through Louisville's and Dan Meske IG acccounts between these is likely gonna be the 5th and final recruit if Setter: Olivia Siskin, Coco Natarajan, Kenlee Barnard Libero: Raina Chiwiakowski, Erin Clark Pin (left/right): Makenna Crosson, Keoni Williams(MB/OPP) My biggest guess is Keoni Williams she is 6.5 MB and Right side just like Reese. She also has the height we were talking about for that depth and she also folows some the Louisville recruits from 2025 and 2026 - Kalyssa, Blair, Elli and Jordyn, and they alll follow her back. Louisville and Dan follow her. Jordyn also recently followed her so lets see. her and Blair are Club teamates as well The watch continues....? Are we hearing who the last commit is?

I have no idea why it’s taking so long for her to announce 🤣 My biggest guess will be a setter maybe DBK will use the portal Again for another RS guessing Gray was recruited as an opposite, i mean she’s 6’1 and approached 10’7 even some of the best OH‘s in college cant jump that high so that combo will be great fot Right but would love to see her on the Left

The watch continues....? Are we hearing who the last commit is? Williams is officially off the board - announced to Nebraska Also Erin Clark commits to Alabama. Thats a MAJOR get for a small caliber team. I scanned their following pretty well and it seems like they probably don’t even have her social media yet tbh. (i only went through the 2026 recruits tho) Or could it be a 2025? they had a 2024 commit just last year. so it’s possible.
