Volleyball recruiting - “major” commitment teased

[waverider]

Coach Barnes tweeted that he is on campus recruiting and just landed a big commitment that will have New Orleans “jumping for joy”.

The WAVE is ROLLING!!!

Sarah is in Ohio.
Brian is in Utah.

I’m on campus and just received a MAJOR commitment on a visit.
New Orleans is going to jump for joy when they find out.

So when will this Commitment announce her attending Tulane, since the school can not.

If New Orleans is going to jump for joy (that particular wording), I'm guessing it's someone local. Any highly ranked New Orleans recruits it could be?

No offense to volleyball, but New Orleans won’t be jumping for joy even if it were Kerri Walsh.

Does he have a college age daughter? I was thinking it was something like that.

I thought the same thing. Outside of people that follow him on Twitter and posters on this board, not many people are going to even know we got a commitment in volleyball.

That was my thinking about the NOLA reference: New Orleanian Tulane fans are always happy when we sign local kids, right? (unless they went to your rival high school, of course )

I’ll have to see who the top players in the Catholic League were

Volleyball works hard and does national recruiting.....even when some players leave.
Should break through to the NCAAs next year.

Misty May Treanor's half-brother owned Cowbell, so there is a local connection to big-time volleyball.

I haven't seen the city this fired up since the Saints' super bowl parade!

I had a set on a chevy camaro back in the 70's and they were outstanding.

This is family forum. No need to bring stripper names into the mix. We are talking volleyball.

But I'm enjoying the banter about the name. Carry on.

Nia Washington.
And it's great to see a program doing a little hype and working hard. It beats the basket cases so many of our programs are.

All-metro volleyball for schools from Divisions III, IV and V

Player of the Year
Nia Washington, Country Day, Jr.

Whenever the Cajuns needed a kill, Washington provided a thunderous one to change momentum or close out a set. She finished with 403 kills (.301 hitting percentage), 342 digs, 42 aces and 33 blocks. It was Washington’s competitive fire that led to a number of honors including All-State, Division V Player of the Year and Division V State Tournament MVP.

The city hasn't been on a roller coaster ride (of emotions) like this since the Zephyr shut down!

Somebody ought to post that this deserves to be on the main page because volleyball has a larger fanbase nationally than college baseball. That oughta get the troops fired up!

Coach Barnes tweeted another “big commitment” today referring to a transfer from the Big 12. From the little I know, I think the Big 12 is a pretty good volleyball conference.
