New Recruits ???

[Bison Dan]

I know we had a turn over in coaches but I thought we'd have some recruits signed. Anyone know what's up?

No idea where they are at, but I imagine with the turnover last season they ar every behind in recruiting. Kari had to step in to a tough situation. Aside from the coaching change, an assistant that was hired for the season decided at the last minute to not show up and coach. After the change Kari was the only full time staff left. I would imagine she put a halt on recruiting so she could stabilize the situation with the team.

She still has spring club season to find some.

I believe there was only one open Scholarship though via graduations. At one time it was accounted for, but not anymore obviously.

According to the article above, Jordan Banich, the 6'1 OH we were discussing back in November, is going to NDSU. Some articles reported that she signed her NLI back in Nov. Might not have gotten reported on gobison.com or it could be misreported in a lot of different places.

But let's say the coaching change made it so the commitment was delayed. According to the link below, volleyball's two signing periods this year are Nov 10 to Nov 17, 2010 and April 13 to Aug 1, 2011 so if the NLI didn't go through in November, it'll have to wait until April 13.

Our neighbor here in Buffalo, MN has a 15 year old that was just named All-American at the USA Volleyball championships in Atlanta. Her team won the championship yesterday over a team from Texas. The best 15 year old team in the nation is the Northern Lights and there's a few on that team that would be good to get on the radar up there in old Bison land.

Our neighbors kid when done with HS (she'll be a sophomore this year) will be the best to ever come out of Buffalo and certainly will be one of the better kids in the state in the next 3 years.

Six two, 15 years old, coordinated...

Kira Larson commits to Nebraska

In the past, John Cook has recruited volleyball players that have shown great athleticism playing multiple sports but may not have extensive volleyball experience.

That may be the case again for the Nebraska volleyball coach with Kira Larson, a three-sport standout from Fargo, N.D., who has committed to play volleyball for the Huskers. The 6-foot-3 middle blocker will begin her junior season of high school next month. She also plays for a club volleyball team in Minnesota.

Larson only began to get serious about volleyball as a freshman, and she doesn't have the club volleyball background that many of her club teammates do.

Still, many coaches made the trip to Fargo to watch Larson play. Her final decision came down to Nebraska and Florida, she said.

"Honesty, Nebraska had the whole package for me, whether it was crazy-nice facilities, the academic program, great coaching staff and I got along so well with Coach Cook," Larson said. "They didn't have one thing I liked the best. They had everything I liked the best."
