Recruiting News - Olympic Sports

[AztecBuff]

Just wanted to mention I discovered, and then confirmed via the student-athlete's twitter account, that a previous HS Class of 2018 Buff volleyball commitment, 5'10" outside hitter Amalia "Paige" Hilliard, is now committed to LSU.

Best wishes to her.

 

[AztecBuff]

Of course as with all sports I feel recruit rankings should be taken with the proverbial "grain of salt", but just wanted to mention that prepvolleyball.com, which appears to be the main recruit ranking service (at minimum for the fans) in the "volleyball world", has been counting down its Top 100 national "Senior Aces" (high school seniors), and one 2018 Buff commit has apparently made the list at #71. Prepvolleyball.com is a premium service and doesn't allow names to be disclosed (although schools often do note their rankings when bios are released after formal signings), but does allow the school of the Top 100 commit to be listed on a Volleytalk thread (see http://volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/70336/senior-ace-rankings?page=10 for Colorado being listed with #71).

Based on her high school/ club/ youth national training team accomplishments, I'd assume the #71 Senior Ace to be setter/ rightside hitter Jenna Ewert.

Congrats to her for this recognition!

(Interesting to me that Ms. Ewert, who like our current freshman setter Brynna Deluzio is listed at 5'9", is also like Ms. Deluzio in that it appears her high school team needs/ chooses to play her more as a hitter as opposed to a setter, at least early this season. (This is inferred from Maxpreps stats (http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/deer-valley-wolverines-(antioch,ca)/volleyball/stats.htm) showing her at only 2.2 assists per set while having 3.8 kills per set as I write this. Note- Maxpreps also only shows her playing in 5 of 13 sets reported for her team so far, so hope she's healthy and well.) However, everything I've seen about her indicates she'd be coming in as a potential setter for the Buffs.)

Per the laxpower.com recruit database, looks like lacrosse has a new class of 2018 verbal commit in attacker Maggie (and/ or Mary?***) O'Donnell, from Thayer Academy in Cohasset, Mass..

Welcome and congrats to her!

Could not find out much about her, although I think(***) this is a Hudl highlights page for her- https://www.hudl.com/profile/7410955/mary-odonnell

(***The above Hudl highlights page are for a Thayer Academy player who is an attacker by the name O'Donnell, but it seems to split references between Mary and Maggie, so not 100% sure which of the highlights (all???/ any???) are of the new Buff commit. However, per the team's directory (http://search.thayer.org/page.cfm?p=2470&teamID=45&display=Roster), there is only one O'Donnell on the roster (Mary), so assume/ hope (???) the Hudl page is for the correct player.)

(Note- the new more restrictive lacrosse recruiting rules (discussed previously at https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/bi...ncaa-will-other-olympic-sports-follow.126064/) allowed contact to begin with high school class of 2018 student-athletes On September 1st of this year. Since there had already been nine 2018 commits from before the rule change that I know of, I don't expect to hear of too many more verbal commits for the 2018 class. However, I'd guess this time of the year is going to get busier and busier for lacrosse recruiting in the years to come, with there being five verbal commits known to this thread for the 2019 class, two for 2020, and none beyond that.)

 

[AztecBuff]

Soccer just indicated per the below tweet they have the 1st high school class of 2021 commitment (for any Buff sport). And, per topdrawersoccer.com, the player is midfielder Hannah Duguid, who hails from that fertile Buff recruiting ground of Calgary, Alberta, Canada (also I believe hometown to current Buffs Sarah Kinzner and Camilla Shymka). Per topdrawersoccer (https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/hannah-duguid/pid-112867), she plays for the Calgary South West United SA club team.

Welcome and congrats to her!



Edit- Did find a few quick links related to her-

Article on her already recently playing in what sounds like (although they never state it) a U18 Alberta Province team as a 14 year old at the Canadian Summer Games- http://www.calgarysun.com/2017/07/3...14-young-soccer-phenom-at-canada-summer-games

She sounds like a great addition

Calgary's Hannah Duguid, 14, young soccer phenom at Canada Summer Games

WINNIPEG — At 14 years of age, call Calgary’s Hannah Duguid a pint-sized Lionel Messi.
Her coach does.

That’s because the female soccer talent is making waves in soccer circles, continuing with her much-ballyhooed performance this week at the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.

Playing against girls four years older, Duguid is sporting the Team Alberta colours at these Canada Games has to challenge herself against girls of much bigger size.

“Both my parents play soccer, and they put me in grassroots soccer when I was young. I just loved it,” Duguid said. “My father (Todd) played in the (Alberta Major Soccer League) early in his life, and my mom (Nancy) also played.”

Duguid started her playing soccer at an early age and quickly moved up.

Initially playing at the Calgary West Soccer Club, she joined the strong Southwest United program a few years later with whom she bloomed as a player.

“SWU only had a ’01 team, so I played up age-groups from the start,” Duguid said. “I’ve always been with the SA 02 team and then the REX (Canada Soccer Player Development) program with them. Being with the older girls always gave me a challenge, competition. I had to work harder, faster, as they were much bigger than me.”

Ramon Mifflin, Team Alberta’s manager at these Canada Games and technical director of Calgary Southwest United, sees immense potential in the young phenom.

“Hannah is incredibly mature for her age,” Mifflin said.. She’s had a tremendous growth in the past two years, and now she’s at that elite level. She’s an incredibly hard worker. She’s that kid that is the first one to arrive at the field and the last one to leave, four and five days a week.

Being much physically smaller than her teammates and opponents, Duguid overcomes challenges on a day-to-day basis.

“I have to be tougher because of my size difference,” Duguid said. “Sometimes I do feel like I need to perform better, so I can start the game and stay on the field longer. I have to be tough.”

On the field of play, Hannah has proven that she deserves to be on the pitch, according to Mifflin.

“She’s here because she deserves it, not to be a Cinderella story,” Mifflin said. “She’s here because she’s one of the best players on this team. She’s very physical, has good pace and is technically sound. It’s been a real joy to watch her develop.”

“Size doesn’t make a difference with her. In that small frame, she packs a lot of power. She is very quick. She’s top three in the team in 0-60 acceleration,” added Mifflin.
“The challenge she’ll face will be on the psychology — it will be a mind game. To see the older, bigger and most experienced kids from the national level will be new to her. But she always rises to the occasion, and we expect it to be no different here at these Canada Games. We expect her to be a game-changer.

When asked what her career aspirations are, Duguid was quick to point out: “The Canadian national soccer team.”

And for her future, Mifflin sees her nowhere else but on the national team in five years.

“Absolutely, she’s one of the better players in her age-group in Alberta. If you want to compare her to professional players, she’s like a ‘little Messi’. Very creative, very aggressive, takes people on all the time … and she’s not scared of that. She’s special to watch.”

[AztecBuff]

Just noticed that the ski team has updated their roster to include their freshmen for this season. (As usual, recruiting is VERY quiet in skiing, so none of the below have been covered before in this thread.)

Welcome and congrats to all!



Note- Sorry about the formatting. Just did a relatively quick copy and paste from cubuffs.com.

...

Just wanted to mention re my post #333 above regarding Ms. O'Donnell- I just found another website (http://girls.laxachusetts.com/page/show/2982756-laxachusetts-college-commitments) that says she committed to Colorado College and not CU, so I may not add her to the overall Lacrosse commit list in the original post of this thread for awhile. (The Laxpower.com database is still show her coming to Colorado, but with laxachusetts sounding like a more local website, assume it might (???) be more accurate.)

Of course, best wishes to her wherever she might end up.

In the not too distant future we will see more and more young women do what Mallory Pugh did recently and skip college if they are top tier talent. To be blunt, there is no reason from a soccer perspective to spend any time playing college ball. At the professional level they are going to get better training and more of it, so why go to college if you think you are going to be national team material for the US or another top national team (Germany, Japan, France, Brazil, etc.)

Having said all that, the depth of talent in Canada isn't what it is in the US. That means that Duguid may well get the call-up to the Canadian National Team at a relatively young age, but that doesn't guarantee that she'll be good enough to be offered a pro contract prior to entering CU.

At the mens level, I agree that there is little to no place for the top tier talent to go to college to play, But I disagree when it comes to the women's game. there is a ways to go before I would argue that the world game is at the level. Outside of France and the US, the domestic leagues are not great.

As to the 2nd part of that the Canadian talent, I would wholeheartedly disagree. they ARE a power at the international level in the women's game.

 

[AztecBuff]

Just wanted to mention I'll be updating the OP with this year's upcoming signing periods/ dates, which are (per http://www.nationalletter.org/signingDates/future.html ) -

For all but soccer:
Early Signing Period: November 8 -November 15, 2017 (Same as basketball)
Regular Signing Period: April 11 - August 1, 2018

Soccer only has one signing period- Feb. 7 through August 1st 2018
(I was interested to see if soccer would join football in instituting an earlier signing period but, at least per the above linked to webpage, it hasn't happened yet. With, at minimum (don't know about how men's soccer recruiting works since the Buffs don't have a team) , women's soccer having just as much if not more VERY early verbal commits, don't know the reason why there's no early signing period but, for some reason, soccer and men's water polo are now the only two NCAA sports without an early signing period. )

 

[AztecBuff]

Just wanted to mention that, as I was updating the list of cross country/ track and field commitments for the OP, noticed that one of the Buff men class of 2017 freshmen who WAS initially on the 2017 roster I'd noted back in post #321, Ian Meek, is no longer on the roster. Via a quick Google search, looks like he's ended up at York College, York Nebraska.

Best wishes to him as a Panther.

 

[AztecBuff]

Looks like the men's cross country and track and field teams just got a potentially nice verbal commit for next academic year (2018/19) from Gabe Fendel, a runner currently in his senior year at Hamilton Southeastern HS in Fishers, IN.

Welcome and congrats to him!





A couple articles on his commitment-
Flotrack/ Milesplit (He was ranked #2 in the country in their pre-season distance running rankings, and is currently #4 in their Flo50 rankings.) - http://www.flotrack.org/article/62641-gabe-fendel-commits-to-colorado#.Wd50qmiPLIU

Edit- Also found article (dated from 9/29) on what he is/ was looking for in making his choice of colleges. (Looks like he chose the Buffs over fellow traditional powerhouse schools like Syracuse, Oklahoma State, Oregon and Wisconsin.) - http://www.milesplit.com/articles/2...ticle&utm_term=topcolleges&rtid=&coverage_id=

 

[AztecBuff]

One of my normal Instagram searches found the below, which indicates a men's golf commit for the 2018/19 freshman class I hadn't found before in Adam Matteson from Scrips Ranch HS in San Diego, and the Porzak Golf Academy. Looking for confirmation, I found the below golfweek.com link, which also has ANOTHER future 2018 golf Buff I hadn't found before, Kristoffer Max from Denmark.

Assuming the golfweek.com link is current and accurate, welcome and congrats to both!



golfweek.com recruiting list link - http://golfweek.com/2016/03/31/college-golf-recruiting-verbal-commitment-list/
(Note- that link has both a boy's and girl's list, and the 2 others I already had listed in this thread as 2018 commits (Oliver Jack on the men's side and Malak Bouraeda on the women's side) are also listed there.)

2017 Tournament results I could find for the 2 new commits-

Kristoffer Max - http://www.europeangolfrankings.com/players/9106

 

[AztecBuff]

From the below Instagram, looks like there may be a 2nd 2018 commit for the upcoming year's men's cross country and track teams in Alex Scales, currently at Bellarmine College Prep HS in San Jose, CA.

Welcome and congrats to him!



Track times and results - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=7339143#/L0
(Looks like his top event so far has been the 800 meters, where he finished 2nd in what I can only assume is one of the toughest of meets in the country at the California State Championship last season as a junior. His time in that event last season was also the 20th best in the country last season per https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Division/Event.aspx?DivID=79871&Gender=M&Event=4 .)

Cross Country - https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Athlete.aspx?AID=7339143#/L0

 

[AztecBuff]

Looks like the cross country and track commitments are continuing to come for next season (2018/19) in front of next month's early signing period as, per the below tweet, looks like the women's team has received a commitment from Annie Hill, who currently goes to high school at Glacier HS in Kalispell Montana.



Edit - Direct link to the article about her commitment- http://flatheadbeacon.com/2017/10/26/kalispell-star-distance-runner-annie-hill-commits-colorado/

Times and results-
Cross Country - https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Athlete.aspx?AID=7467864#/L0
(She won the state championship races (Div. AA/B) as a freshman and sophomore, 7th as a junior and 3rd earlier this year as a senior. (Per an article (http://406mtsports.com/high-school/...cle_2e705009-18c1-569e-9110-b18d1a4b2ba1.html), she has been fighting tendinitis this year, so had to pull back on her training efforts this season. She was also the overall Gatorade state cross country runner of the year after the 2015 season (http://flatheadbeacon.com/2016/01/14/hill-named-gatorade-montana-cross-country-runner-of-the-year/).)

Track - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=7467864#/L0
(She has had many top results at her state championships, culminating last season where, per http://406mtsports.com/high-school/...cle_6b1aeb0a-cabe-5511-908e-fae58ac87759.html, "She bounced back to be named the 2016-17 Gatorade Montana Girls Track and Field Athlete of the Year. She ended the track season with Class AA state titles in the 800-meter run, 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter, and she was the runner up in the 400-meter dash.".)

 

[AztecBuff]

After learning relatively recently about the 1st 3 track commits for the class of 2018/19, looks like we have our first known FIELD athlete commit- high jumper Jeremy Cody, who, per the below tweet, is joining the Buffs next year. He is currently at Pueblo South HS.

Welcome and congrats to him!



(He also shows as a Buff commit on Milesplit's commit database (http://www.milesplit.com/signings?year=2018&sortBy=&collegeSearch=university+of+colo).)

Article on his commitment - https://www.chieftain.com/prep/sout...cle_930902ff-1483-5c42-8bb3-01f223924f59.html
(Sounding like a very good and versatile athlete, the 6'6" Cody has also played on and been a contributor on the tennis, basketball (12.2 pts./ game last season) and football (11 receptions and 3 TD's this season so far as a tight end on 8-1 Pueblo So.) teams during his time in high school.)

His high school results - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=8510726#/L0
(Looks like the young man has shown impressive improvement each high school year so far, with his season bests improving from his freshman - junior years from 6'2"' to 6'5.5" to 6'10.5". He is also the defending Colorado 4A state champion.)

 

[AztecBuff]

From a tweet she made, looks like track and field has probably picked up another 2018 commitment in Kylee Harr, who mainly specializes as a high and long jumper at Aurora's Grandview HS.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Her track and field results - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=8095425#/L0
(Highlight looks to be setting a big (6") high jump personal best at the best time, winning last season's 5A state title. She also helped her team out by earning points, also with a PR, in earning a 5th place finish in the long jump. Also, although athletics.net doesn't show any individual TRACK results for her, she must have pretty good speed as she ran the 100M leg on her team's state winning sprint medley relay team.)

 

[AztecBuff]

Looks like there has been another 2018 Buff track and field commitment as, per the CHSAA (believe Colorado High School Athletic Association) commit database (http://chsaanow.com/recruiting/2018-database/), sprinter (and possibly long jumper) Jonathan (or Jonny in athletic.net) Rodriguez has committed to join the Buffs next year. Mr. Rodriguez currently runs at Weld Central HS, Keensburg, CO.

Welcome and congrats to him!

His HS results to date - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=9194560#/L0
(Assuming no injury and/ or result reporting issues, looks like he may only have gotten serious about track last season, as he only shows results from one meet his sophomore season. Track highlight to date looks to be a great 2nd place finish as a junior at last season's 3A Colorado state championships in the 400M. He also finished 10th in the long jump and 13th in the 200M at that meet.)

 

[AztecBuff]

With the sport's usual late committing tradition, I'm starting to see just now some "top rated commit" like lists, and wanted to mention a few of the 2018 Buff track and field and cross country commits are on those lists. Note that these lists are for top commits for ALL track and field events, not just distance runners (which are what a lot of the lists are that I refer to on this thread).
(Of course, as with ALL sports, I always feel like all lists like this are for "entertainment purposes only", and shouldn't be taken that seriously.)

On the women's side, Annie Hill is on a couple lists:

• Flotrack has her #9 in their list of "10 Biggest Prep Names To Choose Their College Early", a list which includes both men and women (http://www.flotrack.org/article/631...es-to-choose-their-college-early#.Wge88cbXbIU). And
• Milesplit has her as #13 in their "Top 50 Class of 2018 Girls Recruits" (http://www.milesplit.com/articles/226809-milesplits-top-50-class-of-2018-girls-recruits).
• With CU's emphasis on cross country, wanted to mention she's one of only two distance/ middle distance runners on the Flotrack list, while she's the 6th distance runner listed on the Milesplit Top 50 list. (As I mentioned in my earlier post in this thread when she 1st committed, she has apparently been lightly racing this season and hasn't been as fast as past years while she deals with / recovers from an injury issue. Assume this could account for the discrepancy on how she's ranked between the two lists.)

(For anyone interested who has 5 minutes or so to kill, found a video of a big race Ms Hill ran June 2016 convincingly winning what I believe is a big NB (New Balance) national 1600M race - http://www.milesplit.com/articles/226996?page=11 .)

Of the incoming young men, there are a couple listed in Milesplit's "Top 50 Class of 2018 Boys Recruits" (http://www.milesplit.com/articles/226854-milesplits-top-50-class-of-2018-boys-recruits), with Gabe Fendel at #14 and Alex Scales at #42. Mr. Fendel is the 5th distance runner listed.

 

[MtnBuff]

@AztecBuff

Thanks for the great work in this thread. These athletes will represent the University of Colorado and deserve positive recognition.

 

[AztecBuff]

Per twitter (see below), track and field looks to have picked up another Colorado commit for 2018 in long jumper (and possibly sprinter***?) Frank (Frankie in athletic.net) Nash III, who currently is at West HS in Pueblo.

Welcome and congrats to him!



High School Results - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=8522437#/L0
(Impressively, set his personal record (PR) in the long jump at the best time, in a winning effort at last season's 4A state championship. That PR also was the longest jump by a HS athlete overall in Colorado last season. (Current Buff freshman Gunner Rigsby had the 2nd longest jump last season, so the Buffs seem to be doing a good job at cornering a lot of the Colorado men's top long jump talent!) ***He also earned points for his team at those state championships with a 5th place finish in the 100M sprint. Based on # of results his sophomore season, looks like he was concentrating more in the sprints then, so he may have a lot of growth left in him to improve his distance his HS senior season and as a Buff.)

 

[AztecBuff]

As I'd mentioned in the 2018 Olympic Sport Signing News thread (https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/20...d-starts-11-8-soccer-2-7-regular-4-11.129780/), there were a few incoming Buff athletes who weren't known about until their signing, and I planned on adding them to this main thread, while also giving a little more info (if I could find any) on them. (I will also be going in and updating the list and commitment status of the 2018 class Buffs in the various listings shown in the OP.)

Just going one post per sport, I'm starting with the one 2018 class cross country/ track and field athlete that hadn't been discussed yet in this thread- Multi-event athlete Josh Farmer, who currently attends Rancho Bernardo HS (in the city of the same name in California).

Once again, congrats and welcome to him!



His track and field Results - https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=10338650#/L0
(As his future coach Malone notes in her above tweet, looks like he may be one of the top 5 or so rated decathletes of his class.)

(Note- Obviously won't really mean anything one way or the other, and how good Mr. Farmer becomes will mainly depend on the work he puts in once he becomes a Buff, but just as reference/ trivia- Buff football/ track great Isaiah Oliver (who of course recently declared for the NFL draft), looks to have had a 6,824 decathlon point PR in his high school years (per https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=3913737#/L0). Mr. Farmer had a 6,375 point PR last season as a junior (after "only" getting to 5,020 points as a sophomore). Be fun to see if, in his senior season, he can get his PR close to Mr. Oliver's HS PR. Mr. Oliver, who only competed as a Buff in track 2 seasons, is still leaving as the #3 all-time decathlete in CU history, with his 7,394 points PR (at last year's Pac 12 championships) behind only a couple Buff's who competed in the early to mid- 1970's.)

 

[AztecBuff]

Continuing my catch-up of incoming 2018 Buffs I 1st learned about during the Early Signing period (as followed in https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/20...d-starts-11-8-soccer-2-7-regular-4-11.129780/ ), tennis formally announced (last month) the addition of one*** new student-athlete, young Englishwoman Megan Forster, currently at Claires Court in Maidenhead.

Again, welcome and congrats to her!



Direct link to article - http://www.cubuffs.com/news/2017/11/8/tennis-keneally-signs-forster-to-2018-recruiting-class.aspx

A recruiting video she made (about a year ago) -


***With the roster (http://www.cubuffs.com/roster.aspx?path=tennis&roster=429&sort=class) currently showing 3 seniors and only 5 non-seniors on it, assume Ms. Forster will be joined by at least 2 more freshmen and/ or transfers by the time she starts next summer in Boulder. (With 4 of the 5 non- seniors being Aussies, assume Ms. Forster may also need to develop a taste for vegemite.)

 

[AztecBuff]

Continuing my updates, this time with golf, the early signing period uncovered a couple new commits for the 2018 class, one men's, one women's, with them coming from near (Boulder) to far (Scotland) to join the Buffs. On the women's side, Kelsey Webster from Fairview HS was announced as a signee, while John Paterson will be joining the men's team, coming from some place called St. Andrews.

Welcome and congrats to both!

Paterson hails from St. Andrews (The New Club) on the east coast of Scotland, officially recognized as the "birthplace of golf" in the early 1800's. He's currently ranked No. 28 in the EuropeanGolfRankings.com and is the reigning Scottish Boys Champion; he carded a 73-71-72-67—283 (1-under) last April, scoring two eagles on par-4 holes on the front nine in the final round that spurred him to a two-stroke victory. Overall, he had eight top 10 finishes in events this golf season, including a third place finish in the British Universities Stirling International (75-71-73—219), and coming in second in the prestigious Scottish Boys Order or Merit.

A member of the Scotland Men's National Team, he will help represent his country in four in events this February in South Africa; he also has represented his country in the European Boys Team Championships.

(Coach) Edwards on Paterson: "John is one of the top prospects in the United Kingdom and Europe. He is taking a gap year this year to fully focus on his golf as part of the Scottish National Team. He has won some big-time tournaments and we expect him to be a great Buff."

While I remember, wanted to mention that I was Just listening to Coach Mac's quick football signing day interview with Mark Johnson, and he says JC transfer linebacker Davion Taylor will also be running track starting THIS spring. (Times MM mentioned for him- 10.6 in the 100M and 21.5 200M.) Assume he'll be a track sophomore this season.

Welcome and congrats to him!

His JC roster bio with links to articles on last season - http://coahomasports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2152&path=track

One of the links (http://coahomasports.com/news/2017/...tional-qualifying-time-at-arkansas-state.aspx) says his 10.63 JC Championship qualifying time was run at less than optimal conditions (50 degrees, etc.).

His (partial?) high school results- https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=7200549#/L0
(For his senior (spring 2016) season, they're only showing his state championships results, but what strong results they were- 1st in the 100M AND triple jump, 3rd in the long jump.)

Edit- Also found this site with some more times from his freshman JC season - https://www.tfrrs.org/athletes/6202439/Coahoma_CC/Davion_Taylor.html

I don't think I've ever seen anyone kill it in a thread as much as @AztecBuff is killing it in this thread. His work here deserves an absolute landslide of rep
