2008 Volleyball Recruiting Class Ranked #2

texassports article

The Gazelles signed the nation's #2 ranked recruiting class.  The link requires a membership but I'm sure the news will be posted on texassports.com shortly.

 

 

Star-divide

Just to remind everyone, Coach Elliott signed 6'2" middle blocker Rachel Adams (PHF posted the amazing picks of her vertical abilities), 6'3" OH Amber Roberson from San Antonio, 5'10" setter Michelle Kocher and 5'3" libero Sydney Yogi from Hawaii.  

Adding these four to the mix of Lauren Paolini, Ashley Engle, Destinee Hooker and Juliann Faucette should give the Gazelles plenty of talent to win their first outright Big 12 Championship in over 10 years.  In addition, if they can gel with the new setter (Engle or Kocher) they should be able to finally break through and make the final four.

#1 goes to....

Flo Rida! They got the superstar setter we were also going after which presumably kicked them into the top spot.

Full story now up on texassports.com
The 2008 recruiting class marks the third straight season the Longhorns have captured the second-ranked class and the fourth time in the last six years.

And you BON’ers thought Rick Barnes was a bad-ass recruiter!

I finally went to a game

Nebraska, toward the end of the season, I think. Very entertaining (took me a while to catch on to “Point Texas!”).
