Both soccer and volleyball have looked to pick up additional commits in possibly crucial areas for them.
Welcome and congrats to them!

1st, soccer looks to have picked up a very accomplished and relatively young goalie, 5'7" Jordy Nytes , who it looks like will be a sophomore next season after spending her freshman season at Oklahoma State where, among other things, she was named the Big 12 Co-Goalie of the Year. (After her senior prep season, at Grandview HS in Aurora, she was named Colorado's Gatorade Player of the Year.)
(Although the Buffs have lost their mainstay goalie the last 3 seasons to graduation in Dani Hansen, they still look to have a solid "goalie room" in next year junior Isabella Grust, who looked solid to me while getting quite a bit of playing time (over 670 minutes, including 5 full matches) last season, a transfer from Memphis last season in senior Lindsey Smith, and an incoming freshman goalie in Jamie Campbell who was ranked the #68 overall and #9 goalie in Topdrawersoccer's 2023 class recruiting rankings. )

After this past season, topdrawersoccer ( https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer/college-national-freshmen-top-100/women) named her their top ranked freshman goaltender, and #9 freshman overall.

And, volleyball Coach Mahoney tweeted the below about having received a (late) 2023 addition. And, per the Rich Kern website ( https://www.richkern.com/vb/recruits/indexsub.asp?Div=DI&VBYear=2023 ) , that newest vball Buff is 6'3" Middle Blocker Skyy Howard, who I assume will be a grad transfer with one year of (Covid year) eligibility remaining after spending her undergrad years at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. She also hails from North Carolina, having spent, at minimum, her prep years in Charlotte a Mallard Creek HS.
(Note - based on the timing and the fact her UNC roster page says she graduated this month, assume she'll be in Boulder this semester to get some early work with the team before next fall's season.)
