Anyone hear anything about any volleyball recruits? It seems like they should have been signing there LOI's this week too.

I know Lindsey Miller from Texas Tornadoes in Houston is committed, but haven't heard about anyone else. I was hoping there would be an article on aggieathletics whenever they got the LOI's in but haven't seen anything yet.

Top 50 National Player and All State Selection: Alisia Kastmo

http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9346646&nav=1TjF

They are in season, so they wouldn't be able to sign until the first spring signing period I believe

Lake Highlands outside hitter and defensive specialist Tori Mellinger is committed to the Aggies. Tori was an AAU All-American for 2008, an all-state selection last year and the MVP of the prestigious Ducanville tournament this year. She will be a defensive specialist at A&M.

Lake Highlands will take on Austin Westlake on Friday in the 5A state semi-finals at San Marcos. The winner of that game will play the winner of the Clear Cree/Amarillo match for the state title.

Lindsey Miller (Katy, TX), Alisia Kastmo (Tyler, TX), and Caitlin Adams (Kansas City, MO) signed during the fall signing period.

So what happened to Mellinger? Is she going to sign or not. Do we have any height in this group?

Miller is 6-2, Kastmo is 6-5 and Adams is 6-2.

Mellinger is a preferred walk-on and will start with the team this summer. She is 6-0 and a defensive specialist. Under the Corbelli's, the Aggies do not offer DS a scholarship until they complete their first year. Scholarships are at a premium in VB and because of this they are usually reserved for your middle blockers and outside hitters (where there is more competition to sign players). BC she is a walk-on she is not listed in the official press release.

Make no mistake about it though, Mellinger is one of the top players in Texas and was an AAU and USAV All-American. She can play.

I think Kastmo at 6-5 is a bit of a stretch, but she should be a good player regardless. I've read that she'll more likely be a right side than a middle, much like Kelsey Bryant had been until moving into the middle due to injuries. Hopefully these ladies are all ready to contribue early, as we are losing all three middles with significant playing experience.

Has anyone heard if the others are planning on coming in the spring as most of the vball recruits have been doing the last few years?

The corbellis not offering scholarships to DS has worked well.
