Alizabeth Jacobsen is a 6-3 MB from a town near Council Bluffs. Here's a recent highlight vid (#7) www.hudl.com/video/3/17301681/62574831f31d260b6cbf6277She has been retweeting USD Volleyball tweets since last fall, and has 3 follows from the staff. Maybe we get a commit this summer from her?

Liked by both Carly Ries and Alizabeth Jacobsen...who could it be? FYI both of those girls play for Nebraska Elite. Looks like Lauren Medeck's mom liked it too.

I don't understand why these commits can't yet be named. Both in WVB and WBB. Are there NCAA rules involved? Or just that the recruits have requested to not yet be named for other reasons? Strange that we now have two mystery commits in VB and two in WBB.

Very highly ranked Outside Hitter! Big time recruit. Maybe the most highly ranked recruit we have had? I don’t remember about Slaughter or Juhnke, but they were well thought of, too. You have to think that getting a big recruit to be the first commit will help get others that want to play with her. She is teammates with several of our other (supposed) targets, both high school (South Papio) and club (Premier Nebraska). Faith Frame is another big recruit on her club team from Gretna, NE (Libero)...

Lauren and Faith both were named to the all-tournament team in the recent 2022 USA Volleyball Junior National Championship, where their team, Premier Nebraska, won 3rd place! Here's their picture together with their awards: If I'm not mistaken, the Open tournament is the big one. Best teams in the nation.

.... and here's commit #2!
WOW! two of the top 2024s from Nebraska! (Prep Dig has Medeck #1, Ries #20)
At 6-3 she could probably play anywhere in the front row. This should save her parents some gas money, too. Norfolk is pretty close...

Here are some recent highlight reels for our two 2024 commits: Lauren looks like a 6-rotation hitter to me! Good back-row play, too. sportsrecruits.com/athlete/carly_riesCarly looks to play left and right-side hitter equally well. I have her as a Middle, mainly due to her 6-3 frame, but maybe she will just be a very tall hitter for us? Nice.

Also, this:
Kingsley is a national VB scout for Prep Dig...
I mentioned Medeck’s verbal on the Volley Talk site, and several posters mentioned that Big Ten schools don’t offer 4-year scholarships anymore. 2-years at a time is more common (in VB). That’s where a good mid-major can swoop in with a 4-year offer.
Very big for the growth of the program.

Faith Frame just verballed to Cincinnati, so I’ll update the recruiting matrix.

So this happened on Saturday…
Looking through the retweets and likes, I noticed Morgan Bode, who also now has 3 USD staff followers (up from 2)…
Maybe? She is both a HS and AAU teammate with Lauren Medeck.
