AB Volleyball Announces 2017 Recruiting Class

ABjo thanks for posting!!!! First of all, kudos to A/B for finally releasing their signees. That is the first time that I have seen that from them in a few years. I will certainly take a look and include in my review. The only name that pops out at me at first glance is Ashlyn McDonald as she is a central Ohio kid. Pretty good player. The others I have no idea. Niagara and MAVA are usually pretty good club programs though with good talent. I will do some research and include it in my season preview in a few weeks. Going to be much more extensive this year with all the new teams! I love doing it though, so I am looking forward to putting it together!

When I do not know much about a sport or school I look at where the recruits come from. Recruiting from many states usually show a pretty good recruiting class.
AB has gone far and wide to recruit this class.

Congrats to Findlay Baseball as they snapped a very ugly 15 game losing streak. Ugh

Doesn't look good for us - UF took a DH from CU opening weekend. BTW - your losing steak likely would have ended 3 games earlier if the Urbana game wasn't cancelled.

BTW - the G-MAC finally broke down and awarded Carsyn Koch her first Track Athlete of the Year award (Indoor or Outdoor).

Obviously hoping Lady Jackets can win softball championship. However, if they don't, hope it's your ladies. Somebody has got to stop TNU's yearly domination, and both teams have shown an ability to beat TNU this year.

Wesleyan team is very young. Coach needs to find a closer and they will make noise in tourney.

Congrats to Cedarville on winning the G-MAC regular season in softball.

Kentucky Wesleyan won at least 30 games. I believe they are scheduled for two more today. This is only the second time the Lady Panthers have won 30 or more games in a season.

So, Cedarville gets the #1 seed and KWC will be the #2 seed in the G-MAC tournament. They split in the regular season. It looks like TNU will be the #3 seed.

Aren't you supposed to say RELIABLE source??? :D

:) It's a "good" source. Some other things said didn't make sense, such as timing, so I'm not ready to apply the RELIABLE tag yet. :)

Huntington is nice. I, personally, like it better than Charleston. I would be a good spot to host a tournament. Plenty of infrastructure to support it.

Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

JDon, I saw your post regarding the MEC possibly exploring moving their basketball tournament to Huntington. It got me thinking, is that a possible area for the G-MAC to explore for occasional neutral-site events?

Its not lost on me that most neutral-site events have been held in the area north of Cincy (Volleyball, baseball, softball, golf), some of which have been right at Cedarville (indoor/outdoor track, tennis, sometimes cross country). That area is no-doubt middle-ground, has good roads that lead to it, and I imagine they will continue to heavily book events in that area. However, I have thought it might be nice to occasionally have neutral site events on the other side of the Ohio River (Covington, KY, maybe Huntington, WV?).

I have never been to Huntington. Nice enough place? Open to anybody. JDon is just the one that got me thinking.
