I’ve been reading the rumors on another online forum of a mystery European OH recruit who could be the second scholarship player. Might explain the delay in paperwork, similar to Hellvig’s case. Could also be a lot of hogwash, so readers beware.

Given what I have read, I was able to identify a potential match, given the rumored height, position, nationality, and quality of the player. She plays for her country’s youth national team, she is not yet 18, and she plays club ball in a country different from her home country. She and Hellvig are of similar height, although Hellvig has the higher spike and block height numbers by around 4 inches (if the measurements I saw are accurate). She has received international tournament accolades, and is a clear terminator from what I read. Considered by some to be the most promising player in her region. If UH lands this person, then wow. I mean wow (and I’m not one to gush over recruits), based mainly on the accolade article and a little bit of what’s on her club team’s page (I haven’t found any video on her yet). She has the height and the arm we all dream of in a Wahine OH recruit.

I won’t name this person because everything I read on the other forum could be total bull, or I could have misidentified the player, but if she does sign, then I will produce the links to my source material.

Hoping for a surprise on the women side. Maybe one more international OH for the women and the men.
