Asking someone in the know I'm not in the know, but PrepDig is at least a good reference. Not every state does PrepDig rankings, but many do now. I couldn't say on your Canadian recruits, but it looks like your setter might be the star of the class. #9 2023 player in Minnesota, #2 Setter https://www.prepdig.com/minnesota/rankings/2023-rankings/?position=S The Libero looks like unranked, but listed as the #16 Libero in California https://www.prepdig.com/california/rankings/california-2023-rankings/?position=DS/L I don't see the MB on the Texas list, but it is a big state, and you can only scroll down so far without a PrepDig account https://www.prepdig.com/texas/rankings/2023-rankings/?position=MB I don't have a PrepDig account, but I find these pages by directly searching Google for "2023 player rankings (state)"... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iramurphy Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Jamestown’s McKenna Nold sets state tournament record with 39 kills against North yesterday. She was WDA player of the year. Great athlete, quick, jumps well can set. Some say best VB player in state. Wanted to play at UND. Are we that good that she couldn’t play here?

So many kills are when she’s in the backcourt. She was a setter last year. They got beat tonight but she was best player on the floor. Maybe too late but I think she could play for us. Having said that our coaches know the game and I would think better judge of talent than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan100 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Nold was very impressive - not much to not like - very powerful and agile for a six footer - for my untrained eye could compete at UND 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalundfan Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 One middle, Trinity Blackwell, just committed to Texas Women’s University. Haven’t heard of any others, but could happen in a few months when spring is over. I think they have a freshman on campus this spring though. Mariana Riviera. Not sure what position, though hopefully middle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undVBfan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Scrimmage tonight at 7 PM against Bemidji State. If it is like last year they will likely play at least 4, and probably 5 sets, regardless of scores. I suspect everyone coming back will play, and they might be "creative" with the subbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalundfan Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 How did the scrimmage look? I was hoping to make it but no dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undVBfan Posted Monday at 05:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:15 PM First, scrimmage against NDSU on Saturday. It looked like a scrimmage against BSU. Everyone played, which is what I expected. Obviously they need to get better everywhere, as does everyone else. :-) I think the coaches were more interesting in seeing everyone in competition than winning the "match." Thoughts from last year, looking forward include: Need for outsides who can terminate out-of-systems balls. We can't always count on a tempo set against a single block, sometimes we just need to be more physical than they are. A legit backrow threat, something to take the pressure off the outsides when the pass isn't perfect. It's been years since I recall having someone hit out of the pipe as a first option. Maybe the junior college transfers from Eastern Europe (or wherever) that played for Prior? The middles are where I see the most work to be done. We lost 2 experienced, 5+ year middles. That is going to be a challenge to replace for this next year. Being an effective middle blocker is SO much more than the number of blocks they get. They need to be physical enough to be a legit threat when set, and to be able to slow down the other team at the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexi Robinson before her was also good in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
