We've posted the first in a seven-part series that looks at how PrepVolleyball.com Senior Aces have fared over the years. The first installment looks at Senior Ace #71 (incoming freshman Allyson Cathey was ranked there), and also at one unranked player -- Karsta Lowe -- who managed a pretty OK, not bad, nicely-done career. Here's the link: www.dignittanyvolleyball.com/what-penn-state-might-be-getting-with-its-2018-senior-aces-71-allyson-cathey/
And here's a brief excerpt:
What does it mean to be a PrepVolleyball.com Senior Ace, and what do the individual rankings mean in terms of future success in college?
We ask, because PrepVolleyball.com, which just released it's rankings of the 2018 recruiting classes, ranked Penn State's 2018 recruiting class #1 in the country. (PrepVolleyball.com is a pay site, but well worth it, in our opinion).
To answer the first question, PrepVolleyball.com's annual Senior Ace list ranks the top 100 seniors (according to a poll of numerous college and club coaches) for that year. Penn State's Head Coach Russ Rose and his staff certainly did a fantastic job, with seven of its eight class members named as Senior Aces. Penn State's 2014 recruiting class was also ranked #1 and also featured seven PrepVolleyball.com Senior Aces -- if you include Skylar Dykstra, 5-9 DS/L, who transferred in following a redshirt year at UCLA, then left the Penn State team after one season.
Here's a listing of Penn State's seven 2018 Senior Aces:
#3 -- Kaitlyn Hord, 6-5 MB, Henry Clay HS, (Lexington, Kentucky);
#5 -- Serena Gray, 6-2 MB (Temple City, California);
#14 - Jonni Parker, 6-0 S/OH, Miami East HS (Casstown, Ohio);
#28 - Gabby Blossom, 5-10 S, St. Joseph’s Academy (St. Louis, Missouri);
#31 - Jenna Hampton, 5-7 libero, Berkeley Prep (Tampa, Florida);
#56 - Amanda Phegley, 6-4 MB, Berkeley Prep (Tampa, Florida); and
#71 - Allyson Cathey, 6-1 OH, New Albany (Indiana).
As to the second question, we'll be taking a look at that over the next few weeks, looking at each of Penn State's 2018 Senior Aces, and seeing how players with their ranking fared during their college careers.
We're starting in this post with both #71 Allyson Cathey and unranked Brooklynn Hill, a 5-8 libero, Rancho Cucamonga (California).
