Someone we've talked about numerous times.....

 

Kalynn Meyer (6-3) of Superior won the Nebraska girls Athlete Of The Year award from Omaha World Herald.  It was an easy choice. third year in a row...first time in Ne. history. 

(read the OWH article if you can)

 

NU volleyball recruit of course. Her HS 1,882 kills is a class c-2 record   Nationally ranked Discus thrower...and in the shot.. on a rare, rare level at the discus.

 

May well  be one of the best Nebraska female athletes ever. Could have played at UNL in either of the three sports..(volleyball, basketball, track - UNL offered in all 3)

 

WOW

Noticed that too and thought "dang".   Would think she could get way over the net.

Now I see it is no doubt rested against the tire.  Still...

Really !    Just what we need a big !

 

Can't find a lot about her. Some videos looks like she's pretty active in the paint. 

 

Interesting video on her history. She;s been around even n H.S.

Hope she can run and has some offensive skills.

[whoopdeedoo]

welcome Tatiana! 

 

guess that means no shot at Sophie Hart. idk, maybe huskers weren't even recruiting her---which would make no sense or she may have showed no interest.

You would thiunk that she does. Her dad was a second draft pick in the NBA, and is/ will be in the Miami hall of fame. So you would think he taught her well.

I went through her Twitter and some of the workouts her dad was had the kids doing made me be glad that wasn't me. Looks like she can dribble, catch a bounce pass running through the paint when trailing and can shoot 3s . I am impressed with this grab.

This class of four recruits looks like it could be a rated class.  If everyone stays and with Kate graduating we will have 16 players including walk-on Whitney Brown.  Maybe with that number available we can do  more pressing on defense.

[All About the Corn]

Well nice to see the staff step up in recruiting. Was hoping we could get another true center to replace Kate.

Can't have more than 15 on roster by B1G and NCAA rules in any given year, so something would have to change. Pretty sure the staff is aware, and have something in mind already. They know something we don't know....redshirt ?

I don't think Brown counts against the 15 as a walk on.  I think 15 is the scholarship number only.

I'm pretty sure thats the way it is.  

[redsteve]

I realize there's a 15 scholarship on roster limit, plus walk ons....but like I said don't think more than 15 individuals can play in a game. I've seen men's teams that have 5 or 6 walk on's, but they can't all play in an individual game....right?. 

 

Otherwise you could have who knows how many players play every game, if you had enough bodies. Can;t find a clear explanation looking quickly.

If you look at our track record we always have players hurt and not available anyway.

i am cautiously optimistic with Tatiana. i did not see where she had any rankings. we all know rankings aren't perfect, but, they are there for a reason. hopefully, between her father and the coaches she can develop into a force. time will tell. GBR!

Next Sports Phenom has her as the #24 player of the class. Not sure how legit that site is though. Prep Girls Hoops has her as #5 for West Virginia

[HUD]

She may not be done growing as was alluded to by one of her high school coaches.

hadn't heard of Next Sports Phenom...thanks for the tip. i see they also list her at 6' 7"

 

went to the FAQ for NSP...i see they consider themselves a regional service covering Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia. they do have national contributors.

Maybe a little late, but I have to say through all this turmoil of the last year or so, with the... kind of eye opening transfers out...and all the newbies  coming in.....

 

This may well turn out as a nice step up. Long way to go to see it through to fruition, but sure looks like we're getting our act together recruiting. Next year may depend a little, on if we're able to play Cravens for example... and the other transfers on the court. Can't wait to see our next true big....one page had her at 6-7...maybe that means she'll grow a bit more by the time she gets here :)

 

Sure looking forward to next season.
