[SiouxVolley]

A story on why two NW Illinois recruits chose to take UND’s offers.  Sewell will be filling in at setter and Damon will be switching to the Libero spot after being on OH.

Sewell early graduated and is now enrolled at UND, and she set this spring in practice.

Nice write up on these two.  Excited to see what they bring to the table.

I hope someday the ncaa gives up on requiring cryptic tweets. Regardless, sounds like UND got a commit from someone.

Bismarck Junior College going to Nationals. Do they have kids who can play here?

Doubtful.  While BJC has plenty of near 6’ players. no one over.  Their roster is all North Dakotan, which produces tall girls, but they need to be exceptional to make a difference at DI.  They don’t have any Europeans or other foreigners, which can be found a some JC schools trying to latch on to a DI school.  Maybe BJC has an exceptional setter or defensive player that was overlooked by the DI’s.

Tiffin signed a 6'4" MH from Florida.  Thought the recruiting was incomplete but this makes it much better.

This is encouraging. Hopefully she can develop quickly and contribute. Just having a tall middle hitter has to help at least defensively!

UND signs 5-8 defensive specialist out of Century, also played basketball for the Patriots.  When I saw the last name, I thought we might be getting a front row player, as there was a Jackson Julson, who grew up out in Dickinson and who at 7 feet played center for Cincinnati under Bob Huggins. His dad was also a tall Class B bb stud for Leeds way back in the day. Don’t know if there’s any relation here. Jocelyn is thinking med school, so must havens good head on her shoulders.

Kortney Carney, a 5'9" setter, originally from Moorhead, will transfer in from NDSCS.

Ross Julson played for Leeds.  He also coached Wolford HS.  Took many teams to the State class B. This would probably be a Ross Julson brother's family.  I believe Ross lives in Texas.

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but it looks like a grad transfer with some beach experience is heading to UND. This might be the vague twitter reference from early April. I wonder if a hockey/Winnipeg connection has anything to do with it?

[undVBfan]

Signees have been announced.

Taylor Pribyl - OH/MB transfer (didn't see her listed in 2020 stats, so likely 3 years left)

Jocelyn Julson - DS from Bismarck Century (Chwialkowski and Hart are Srs. and Damon is in the portal)

Sierra Ellett - OH grad transfer, so I assume one and done. Played beach, not indoors, at ASU; also mentioned in an earlier post. Father played in the NHL for 16 years, 7 in Winnipeg.

Kortney Carney - Setter from NDSCS, so should have 2 years left. Peyton will be a Jr. and Norris will be a So, so an interesting recruit. Competition never hurts. 

Julianne Carlat - MB.

 

Hope this brings better passing and the ability to terminate a high ball from the outside. Of course, every team ever wants better passing and the ability to put away a ball out-of-system.  Riedl and Antic, both OHs, were 2nd and 3rd in Kills last season, so it'll be interesting to see who steps up this year.

I believe JUCO students also got a free year, so possibly 3 more years?

It would seem reasonable to assume Kortney has 3 years left, good catch.

 

I don't know anything about Sierra, the grad transfer. If she graduated in 4 years, and didn't have the COVID year count, maybe she has 2 years left? Grad school generally isn't finished in a year, even for someone without the athletic schedule. I can't remember if beach volleyball is considered a different sport for eligibility reasons, so maybe it's a moot point. I also can't remember the age restriction for NCAA, when do the age limitations kick in? It seems to me this is an issue for hockey if a player seems too much time in juniors.

Is she not on scholarship?  They only announced the other 4, including within the article on fightinghawks.com

Not sure… her Instagram says UNDVB commit, and she posted her signing day yesterday. Maybe she signed a few days late so they didn’t include her? They usually announce walk ons as well as scholarship. 
 

Also, only two seniors recognized last night. Sierra Ward and Taylor Pribyl. So we get Stockman for another year?!?! That would be great news!

Knowing what I know so far, I'm going to trust if Tupac wanted them here they're here for a reason.
