Class of 2020 - Lexie Almodovar 5’8” DS/OH from Noblesville, IN and Munciana club - which is a very good club program. ( verbal).

Two more added to the 2020 recruiting class:

5-7 DS Anna Wuensch from Bishop Chatard in Indy, IN and Team Indiana VBC. If my memory is still intact at my age, I think UD alum Kourtney Norris was from this high school. She had a great career at UD and ended up as one of Horsmon’s assistant coaches for a couple years at Maryland.

The next player Chris R will like...

6-1 MB Lindsay Winner from Versailles, OH and Team Atlantis. UD Alum MB Megan Campbell was also from Versailles, OH.

Welcome ladies!

A little about Lindsey...I couldn’t find much. She has an older sister who is a senior this yearthat also plays MB but I could not find anything about her college plans. Their HS team won the DIII State championship this past fall. Also both sisters played basketball last year and were named all conference in b-ball. Danielle would have been a junior and Lindsey a freshman.

Lindsey appears to be “ playing-up” on her club vball team one age. That’s a very good sign. She should be on an age 16 team and she is playing on a 17 team for Atlantis. Most club teams don’t have anyone playing up and if they do it’s only the really talented player with only one or two playing up.

Emmy Ogogor just committed. From Helotes, TX near San Antonio. I think 2020 but not sure. Per Twitter.

BeckysTXA · #6 03-09-2018, 03:51 PM

I just saw this out on Alyssa’s twitter. It’s not out on Rich Kern yet. She is a junior this year, so she would arrive in the fall of 2019. She would be our 2nd member of that class which replaces our 3 seniors this fall.

She was listed as 5’11” so I’m guessing an OH. Her older sister also played on their high school team this past season. The sister is listed as 6’1” so Emmy might grow a little yet. Their team went 45-4 which is very good in Texas. Attends Sandra Day OConnor High School. Haven’t found her club team yet. It’s great to pick up a TX recruit. A lot of talent in that state.

Re: Emmy Ogogor. Hope TH knows future talent as Emily does not appear to be anywhere near as good as her sister - Chinelo. Not on the Max-preps roster for her high school, but in the school's team picture for 2017 season girls volleyball. Also, Emmy only played in one set, probably briefly, in the teams final game in the state playoffs with 1 kill and 2 TA's.

Note to Beckys TXA - Believe Sandra Day OConner High school is in Arizona and Emmy is in Helotes TX at Oconner or North Oconner or just Conner HS.

There is a Sandra Day O’Connor HS in Helotes, TX. Not unusual for more than one school to be named after a public figure.

Her high school team is loaded with talent, so it would be a numbers game. UD probably never saw her play a high school match because of the distance and the coaches are busy coaching UD during the season. They would have evaluated her at club tournaments. Club season runs Jan-July. I’m trying to find her club info but haven’t found anything yet.

Nothing out on Rich Kern yet.

BeckysTXA · #9 03-11-2018, 07:04 PM

It took awhile, but I’ve found some info. Her full name is Emeogo Ogogor. She does appear to be a junior in high school this year, although she is “ playing-up” on a 18 club team, which is very good news, she plays for SA Lightning VB club. The club website doesn’t give a lot of information, but based on photo it appears she is playing MB. She also made the 17/18 Volleyball Academic All District 2nd Team.

Her sister Chinelo Ogogor is a senior this year and committed to Wichita State. She plays for SA Force VB Club. Based on the college commitments on this team, Chinelo is by far the best player. Wichita States program is way better than any other school her club teammates are going to.

Emmy’s club website or Facebook does not list college commitments.

I’m hoping since these sisters are a year apart UD and the Shockers will play each other for two years in pre-conference matches. I’ve been wanting to get them on our schedule for a couple years.

Also, her high school is in the largest class in TX. They have a freshman coach and a junior varsity coach. Emmy didn’t play much on her high school varsity team this past year, but at such a large high school it was probably a numbers-upper classwoman issue. I also saw a picture of the team with State championship medals ( ie at 5he end of the season) and Emmy looked as tall as her sister who is 6’1”. Again, her club website does not give her info.

BeckysTXA · #10 03-15-2018, 09:08 PM

Emmy is now officially listed on Rich Kern. Class of 2019. Listed as a 6’1” MB - so it does appear she has gotten taller this year as her high school roster listed her at 5’11”. And if she wants to grow another 2” before arriving in Dayton, I’m fine with that. Lol

Congrats and welcome Emmy.

TH has posted his rockstar day twitter message twice in the last week. Here is one of the new recruits, and it’s a surprise to me because it’s an addition to this fall’s class, we could use another setter in case of injuries, so I guess we went out a round one.

Josie Yates, 6-0 Setter from Columbus, OH, Bishop Watterson HS.

You have to like 6-0. I couldn’t find anything about her in a google search. She is listed as playing for Elevation in Club vball, but I don’t think that is the Mason, OH club since she is from Columbus.

This makes the 2018 class 7 strong.
