Muskego's Tricia Foldy Verbals to UW-Whitewater Warhawks

Here's a quick little news item from the free side of PrepVolleyball.com. Now if someone would just post something on a non-subscription site about that other 2009 we know about, we'd report on that, too.

How does one "commit" to a D3 school?

"Commits" is the wording used on the prep site. We intentionally chose "verbals" for our headline, which seems more in keeping with what actually happened. As we understand it, "verbals" is the unofficial, nonbinding way for any player to tell the world where she's planning to attend school. Even D1 and D2 recruits can't give anything more than a non-binding "verbal" until after September 1 of their senior years. So prep is basically saying that Tricia Foldy is saying that she's going to Whitewater. And we're saying that prep is saying it.

That makes sense. You would think that there would be more opportunity for a 2 time all state libero at a D1 or D2 school? I can't believe that this kid could not get a scholarship!

There are many, many factors that go into any college decision. It's probably unwise to do too much speculation.

The 2008 roster of UW-W has several former DI and DII players on it. There are new players coming in that CHOSE UW-W over a scholarship. UW-W is a top notch University in a highly regarded University system which competes in one of the top DIII conferences (5 teams qualified for NCAA DIII Tourney in 2007), with a legit chance of being in the tourney (16 straight years) and a chance to win it all!(Two time DIII Champs, One Runner-up and a Third place finish in the last 6 years) Athletic scholarships are not always the best choice.

This is basically what I was alluding to in my previous comment. Speculating on why someone did or did not choose any particular college or higher education path (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, basketball over volleyball, no volleyball at all, whatever) is tricky at best. It's safest to accept the fact that it's a personal decision and wish the best for the player who made it.
