College volleyball recruiting is back in full force after a slowdown of more than 14 months due to COVID-19.
The action is ramping back up, and Nebraska appears to be a contender to get some of the top players in the nation from the class of high school juniors.
This weekend the Husker program is having one of its key recruiting events with the Dream Team camp, which is part of a two-day camp for high school and junior high players that began on Saturday at the Devaney Sports Center.
The Dream Team camp is when high school players pay to come to Lincoln for a few days and be coached by the Nebraska coaches and current players. And the recruits also get to form a bond with other players who could be their future teammates.
The camp has been highly successful in the past, including in forming Nebraska’s current freshmen class that was the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in the nation.
The Dream Team camp started several years ago with a visit from Jordan Larson, a former Husker who will soon play in her third Olympics.
“One of the messages we want to instill in these players at camp is to dream big, and we got some great examples with Jordan, Kelsey and Justine,” Nebraska coach John Cook said. “And we got three girls playing for the junior national team right now at the world championships. So the whole thing is about dreaming big. We’re inviting what we think are the top players in the country to come to this.”
