A 'perfect' fit: O'Gorman junior Bergen Reilly commits to Nebraska volleyball

 

Bergen Reilly entered the offseason hoping to have the recruiting process off her plate by the end of the summer. 

 

Though she entered last weekend unsure if that would actually happen, she ended up clearing her goal with room to spare. 

 

The O'Gorman junior setter announced Thursday that she has committed to the University of Nebraska. Ranked as the nation's No. 14 recruit in the Class of 2023 by PrepVolleyball.com, the 6-foot-1 Reilly chose the Huskers over offers from Creighton, Purdue and Texas, among others. 

 

Reilly planned to visit Wisconsin, Kentucky and Minnesota, but after attending a team camp at Nebraska last weekend, she realized that's where she wanted to be. 

 

"I told my parents Nebraska is perfect, so (the other schools) were going to have to be more than perfect in order to change my decision," she said. "I'm super happy with my decision."

I believe, but cannot show my work right now, that Kubik, Reilly, Jackson and Jurevicius are the top recruits from their respective states.

Curious if Jurevicius was seriously considering Ohio State (2 hour drive from her home) or Penn State (her dad's alma mater). Regardless a good get for the Huskers. 

 

Andi Jackson is an intriguing pick just by her athletic ability alone. She has an approach jump of 10' 04" as a junior in high school. For comparison, Yosianna Pressley, Baylor's All-American OH (and known for her leaping ability) has an approach jump of 10' 09". Jackson often times has her head AND shoulders above the net on kills. Krause is similar except Lindsay is 2-3" taller. 

 

I'm surprised they have Batenhorst listed as RS. I thought Lauenstein (another athletic leaper) was going to fill that position. And I hope Lexi also gets a good look at RS. She appears to be extremely efficient over there which would then open the door for Batenhorst / Krause as the other OH with Madi. 

 

And someone will have to explain the COVID rules as far as eligibility and scholarships are concerned. What I recall is that everyone gets an extra year. So even though Hames and Schwarzenbach are listed as Seniors, they still have two years eligibility remaining. It is the same for everyone until you hit the six member 2021 freshman class. My understanding also is that the 12 headcount limit doesn't apply this fall so the Huskers will have 15 to 16 people on volleyball scholarship.  How long that expansion of the limit lasts.....I have no idea and I'm not sure the NCAA has set out any guidelines past 2021.
