Let's re-freshen our list.  Verbal or Signed


2016 Robinson           University Arkansas
2016 Sitkowski          Arkansas State
2016 McKinley           Southern Illinois Edwardsville
2016 Anderson          Arkansas Tech
2016 Powers             Southern Arkansas
2017 Brown              Arkansas State
2018 Powell              University of Washington

I know there are quit a few others, please add to the list.  With JO in full swing I'm sure others are popping up on radar.

2016 Robinson           University Arkansas
2016 Sitkowski          Arkansas State
2016 Phillips              Arkansas State
2016 McKinley           Southern Illinois Edwardsville
2016 Anderson          Arkansas Tech
2016 Harp                 Arkansas Tech
2016 Powers             Southern Arkansas
2017 Brown              Arkansas State
2018 Powell              University of Washington
2016 Dunagin           Central Arkansas
2017 Doss                Central Arkansas

those are some additions I have heard/seen.  I am sure there are several more for 2016 to add and 2017 likely start committing this spring/summer.  I would guess there might be another 5-6 that commit in 2017 from the Central Arkansas area mostly from Conway Juniors and a few from possibly Fatchmo or Little Rock Juniors.  Not sure about the Jonesboro area other than Sellers who is playing with Conway and is now setting - will be interested to see where that takes her.  Tall setters are rare in Arkansas.  Marion has a great 2017 high school team so maybe they will have some players as well  - not sure where they all play club.  Good luck to all the girls!

Looks like Arkansas is doing it's part in 2016.  Based on % of players/%going to school to play.

Club is beginning to kick in in Arkansas.  For the most part the Arkansas high school coaches aren't good at coaching school volleyball.  There are exceptions though.  School ball is where most girls get dumbed back down.  Sad but true in most instances.  Club is where many of the girls get better coaching and better competition.   

moe99expedition

Sadly I agree. I remember the good ole days when college scouts came to the high school games to scout out athletes. These days it's all about club sports.

I agree here - but I also think many, many administrations aren't really trying to hire knowledgeable volleyball folks for HS or JH coaching.  Maybe it is a lack of qualified candidates or lack of interest in coaching high school, but the vast majority of college assistant and even some head coaches that we have met make no more money than high school so it seems there is a pool of coaches out there in the college ranks that might be candidates to come to the larger high schools.  Maybe when some of these kids going to college now on volleyball scholarships come home, that will help too.  That's what has helped the Jonesboro area from what I can tell.  Just not much of that in Central Arkansas...

I believe she is going to Hendrix on an academic scholarship and participating in Track and maybe volleyball, huge get for the volleyball program if she does play.  D1 Athlete playing for a D3 National Title Contender.  Good luck to Ashton in whatever she does.

What I'd like to see is the Results........  The signing (like this one) post we made 4,3,2,1 years ago - where are they now?  Are they still at the celebrated school, are they playing, did they regret their decision to go to said school?

Saw a few former prep players in the state this weekend at Little Rock's tourney
Evie Grace Singleton, played two years at UCA before following the coaches to Miss State. She was very impressive against Little Rock and also looked good against Oklahoma. She will be a big factor in the SEC this year. I understand she was was leaning toward ATU and ended up at UCA before transferring to Miss State.   Amazing career for her and a fine example for other kids in this area that hard work does in fact pay off.

Also saw Taylor Lindberg, she is the starting setter for Little Rock in her second season.  She looked good.

Arkansas State has Drew Jones starring in her third year at ASU.  ASU was ranked in the top 25 last year and off to a solid start this year. They also have Markie Shaedig who has been an All American and is a senior this year.

Ashton Sitkowski appears to be starting for Hendrix this year as a true freshman. They are ranked In the top 10 after going to the DIII final four last year.

ATU has some in state talent as well including Hunter Eshanaur who appears she is one of the top players in her conference and I think a kid from Conway.

Good luck to all former Arkansas high school students, not only are they getting signed, many are making big impacts on their programs.

Now that's good stuff!!!!!!!!!  That Senior, from Conway, is McCall Wilkins.  Haley Owens is a Sr, from Paris.

With one more year left for the class of 2018 we should see a lot more commitments from Arkansas. Sweet!!

I feel that there will be 5 or 6 more 2017's that will get a chance.  D3 and NAIA are just now starting to recruit heavy.

moe99expedition

I agree. I have seen some really good talent in all of the classes. 2017 will heat up after season concludes.
