Volleyball recruiting

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Two ISU committed recruits, Class of 2021 OH Maya Duckworth & Class of 2022 6-3 MB Kelsey Perry, made the 2nd Team of the DFW Area Volleyball Teams. DFW is loaded with HS All American talent so making the second team is quite the achievement and hopefully an indicator of needed talent infusion to the VB program.

As long as all the first-teamers aren't headed to UT and BU.

Here is the ISU press release and CJL interviews on the five 2022 VB signees. Would be interesting to know how schollies are being allocated amongst these five and I am assuming there will be attrition amongst existing underclassmen as well as some immediately eligible transfers signed on later.

Texas got a 6'4 middle #1 in the state of SC- #1 ranked Libero out of Indiana and #8 ranked recruit in the country overall in a 6'4" 6 rotation player out of Hawaii-

Baylor has 3 of top 5 recruits in the state of Texas according to Prep Dig-

Not quite as good as the freshman class at Nebraska right now. If I remember correctly, they got the #1 overall recruit who is a setter, the #2 and #3 overall recruits who are both OHs, and the #1 Libero. Then the #8 OH or something. If that class doesn't win a national title it will be a disappointment.

FYI Nebraska is one of three programs signing two top-10 recruits, along with USC and Baylor. The top-five recruiting classes are USC, Nebraska, Minnesota, Baylor and Florida.

The only one if those four with a female head coach is Florida. Mary Wise has been there 30 years, but started her head coaching career 40 years ago at ISU.

This seems like a sport women coaches should shine in, yet the men seem to be getting a high percentage of the top recruits. If I recall correctly a head women’s coach has never won the NCAA championship.

60 players have entered the transfer portal in the last two days according to VT. Maybe we can get some help in multiple positions next year.

Will be interesting to see where she ends up and if it will be playing for Mom at UNI or closer to home (including ISU). Also saw Courtney Buzzerio is transferring from TOE (and their new coach) to Pitt.

Considering she didn't commit there and at least one sister currently in HS is not going to play for her. 630 D 1's in the portal anything can happen-
