Nations #1 Volleyball Recruit Commits to the Longhorns

Baily Webster #1 recruit from Maryland committs to Coach Elliott. From Baltimore Sun:

St. Paul's Bailey Webster, named this fall by PrepVolleyball.com as the nation's No. 1 high school volleyball recruit, has orally committed to the University of Texas. She plans to sign a national letter of intent Nov. 12.


Webster, last season's All-Metro Player of the Year and the Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year, recently visited Alabama, Florida, Stanford and Washington before making her decision. She said she made her final phone calls Tuesday night. A 6-foot-3 senior, Webster jumps so high that she can touch 10 feet, eight inches, which her St. Paul's coach Kelli Wilkinson said is high even for an Olympian.

 

Feels good being a Longhorn, no?

And another on the way....

Surely the baseball team will be in the top 10 as well?

Good timing

It’s keeping me from throwing myself off the nearest tall building after the Land Thieves snapped the Gazelles’ 23-match home win streak on Wednesday. Of all teams to lose to…. especially on a night that Nebraska lost to Colorado, temporarily putting the Horns in first place in the Big XII.

Hopefully this loss will serve as a wake-up call to the team, which is facing some tough tests in the second half of conference play, with road games at Iowa State and K-State and the critical home game against the Huskers. Texas can’t afford another off night if they want to lock down a #1 seed.

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.

UT Athletics....

really good article in Texas Monthly " LonghornsInc. " by S.C. Wynne. I specifically like the educational part of the article.
UT really has the complete college experience vs. other universities.

Awesome. Go Gazelles!

Gotta get Bone
If the Longhorns can find a way to land the other big Texan still on the board, Kelsey Bone, they will have one of the most imposing frontcourts in all of college basketball lined up. At No. 2 overall, Bone is the highest ranked player still uncommitted.

Partly because she’s one of the most talented players to come out of the state of Texas since Tiffany Jackson, partly because I know BONers will have a field day with her surname.

Life is an Occasion. Rise to it.
