Recruiting News - Olympic Sports

Thanks to my main source for volleyball commitments (*** https://www.richkern.com/vb/recruits/indexsub.asp?Div=DI&VBYear=2025), and confirmed by the below Instagram post, looks like the 2025 verbal that Coach Mahoney tweeted about (see my last post) is 5'7"-5'8" libero/ defensive specialist Nicole (Nikki) Ott, who currently attends and competes with Skutt Catholic High School in Omaha, Nebraska, and also plays club ball with VCNebraska .
(*** As always, I like to note that richkern is mainly a premium website, and the above (free) link only lists commitments for the 1st 3 days after he posts about them, so the link will no longer show Ms. Ott's commitment after a few days.)

Welcome and congrats to her!




A few links I found regarding her and volleyball:

Her stats per Maxpreps (So far, looks like her team hasn't posted stats yet for this season, so all the stats are for last (2022, her sophomore) season.) - https://www.maxpreps.com/ne/omaha/s...-ott/volleyball/stats/?careerid=qg0rd4on9ta44
 
Looks like lacrosse, which unlike other Buff Olympic sports had a later (Sept. 1 vs. June 15th) start to their recruiting period for the prep junior (2025) class, has per the below tweet picked up its 1st verbal commiment for that class. She is 5'5" defender and midfielder Ryann McLeod, who attends and competes at Plant High School in Tampa, Florida, and also plays ball with the Limitless Club.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Her high school stats - https://www.maxpreps.com/fl/tampa/p.../lacrosse/girls/stats/?careerid=r44n5vv9k5l33

Per https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/high...sse-announces-high-school-girls-all-americans, she was one of ~31 student-athletes, only 5 of whom are part of the Class of 2025, to be named All-Americans from Florida by USA Lacrosse (Magazine).

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Not related to Ms. McLeod, but since doing a Google search on her found the (ast link above to USA Lacrosse's All-American list, thought I'd look and see who in the 2023 and 2024 classes might also have been named. Per the link, other future Buffs who were acknowledged were:

Frosh class of 2023:
Averi Gardner (Colorado)
Teagan Ryan (New York - Section 1)
Natalie Myslinski (New York - Section 6)

Frosh class of 2024 (only verbal commitments at this time):
Elena Oh (North Carolina)
Briley Volpp (California - San Diego)
 
According to my main non-social media source for lacrosse commits (https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/commitments/girls?class=2025&league=6), looks like the team may have picked up 2 more for the class of 2025. They are:

  • 5'5" midfielder/ defender Parker Lemm, who attends and competes for Lake Oswego High School in the Oregon town of the same name, as well as playing club ball at (MOJO) Oregon Pride.
  • 5'3" attacker/ midfielder Georgia Rios, who attends and competes for Conestoga High School in Berwyn, PA. She also plays club ball at Philly Blast Lacrosse.
A few links with some info on each:

Parker Lemm:

She was named one of Oregon's "top stars of lacrosse" per https://highschool.si.com/oregon/20...ool-girls-lacrosse-meet-the-top-stars-of-2023 , which also gives some of her accolades and basic stats for last season.

Per one of my main (non-social media) sources for commitments in the sport (https://www.milesplit.com/signings?year=2024&sortBy=college&collegeSearch=university+of+colorado ), looks like track and field has the 1st 2 known verbals (both on the women's side) for the 2024/25 frosh class. They are:
  • Hurdler/ sprinter Abby Miller, who currently attends and competes at Summit High School in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
  • Distance/ middle distance runner Emma Zawatski, who currently attends and competes at Freehold Township HS in Freehold, New Jersey.
Welcome and congrats to both!

Per my main (non-social media) source for soccer commitments (https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/col...lorado/clgid-205/tab-commitments#sectionblock) , looks like the team has picked up a new 2025 verbal. She is midfielder Viviana Zacarias, who attends and competes at Los Alamitos HS (in the city of the same name) while also playing club ball with Slammers FC HB Koge.
(Note - based on the date of the below Instagram post from her club team, assume she MAY (???) be the player Coach Sanchez tweeted about in the tweet I posted back on 9/5 (post #715).)

Welcome and congrats to her!

A little more info:

Her Maxpreps HS stats (looks like soccer is a winter sport in California, so the 2023/24 season hasn't begun.) - https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/los-ala...as/soccer/girls/stats/?careerid=l49pkmc359vh1

A webpage with her club team's results - https://tgs.totalglobalsports.com/public/TeamProfile.aspx?t=8995&oid=9

Per https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/so...rge-is-the-o-c-player-of-the-year/ar-AA19cfGJ , she was named 1st Team All-Orange County after last season. (The only sophomore named 1st Team.)




 
My main source for track and field commitments (https://www.milesplit.com/signings?year=2024&sortBy=college&collegeSearch=university+of+colorado, and confirmed via her Instagram post below) shows a 3rd verbal commitment to CU for next academic year (2023/24), and its a 3rd woman. (See post #724 for the other 2.) This time it's a local product, sprinter/ long jumper Myla Wilkes, who attends and competes at Erie HS.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Her T & F results - https://www.athletic.net/athlete/18456327/track-and-field/high-school
(She had a great junior season earlier this year, winning the largest school (5A) state championships in both the 200M and long jump, while also finishing 3rd in the 100M.)

 
According to my main non-social media source for lacrosse commits (https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/commitments/girls?class=2025&league=6), looks like the team has picked up a 3rd 4th verbal commitment for the freshman class of 2025/26. (The 1st 3 were already noted in posts 723 & 722 above.) The latest is 5'7" defender/ midfielder Haylie Abrams, who currently attends and competes at Shoreham-Wading River High School in Shoreham, NY. She also plays club ball with Long Island Top Guns Lacrosse.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Can't find a 2nd source yet, but since the below tweet DOES look to be from a legitimate club team Twitter account, felt safe to say it looks like soccer may have a new 2025 commitment. She plays at the always vital position of goalie, and is Chloe Zipprich, who plays club ball on the Chicago FC United Club's 2007 Girls Academy team. (Academically, she attends Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Illinois, but couldn't find any indication whether or not she plays on her school's soccer team.)

Welcome and congrats to her!



A couple links with some more info:

Her topdrawersoccer page (they don't show her Buff commitment at this point) - https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/chloe-zipprich/pid-1043872

A Youtube channel it looks like she's set up to show some of her highlights - https://www.youtube.com/@chloezipprich2025


Edit - Found Ms. Zipprich's Instagram post announcing her commitment -

1st seen in my main (non-social media) source for lacrosse commitments (https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiting/commitments/girls?class=2025&league=6), and confirmed via the below Instagram post, looks like the team has picked up its 5th frosh class of 2025 commitment. She is 5'6" defender Ingrid Kavanagh, who attends and competes with Loyola Acadamy in Wilmette, Illinois. She also competes with the Team One club program.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Her HS stats - https://www.maxpreps.com/il/wilmett.../lacrosse/girls/stats/?careerid=teukv3qt3aq88

Per https://americanselectlacrosse.com/midwest-rosters-2023 , she was selected to the 2025 Midwest team for the American Select showcase.

Per https://www.journal-topics.com/articles/15-girls-lacrosse-players-earn-all-state-honors/ , she was named 2nd Team All-State after this past (her sophomore) season.
 
Based on the timing, I'd GUESS the odds are it might be an incoming transfer, but one way or the other it looks like, per the below, that volleyball has picked up an additional 2024 commitment! (No sign from my few net sources at this point who it might be, but given the timing I'd assume they'll be identified soon.)

 
I missed it earlier, but late last September lacrosse looks to have received a couple commitments from a set of twins for the 2025/26 frosh class. They are 5'6" midfielders Charlotte and Sophia Yeskulsky, who both attend San Clemente HS in the city of the same name in California, while also competing with the Alliance Lacrosse Club.

Welcome and congrats to them!

From Coach Sanchez including a post she made while, I assume, on a current campus visit, looks like in early February soccer received a 2025 verbal commitment I didn't previously know about. She is midfielder and forward Madison (Maddie) Sharrer, who currently competes with and attends Kamehameha Kapalama High School in Honolulu (the below recruiting page linked to below says her hometown is Pearl City), as well as playing club ball with Hawaii Rush Soccer Club.

Welcome and congrats to her!

It doesn't list many, but from a new source ( https://sportsrecruits.com/athletic...occer/colorado/university_of_colorado_boulder ) I found listing at least a few Buff commits for varous sports, there is one 2025 frosh lacrosse verbal commit that wasn't known or noted before in this thread. (Looks like per the below Instagram post she probably committed last October.) She is 5'2" attacker / midfielder Rowan Edson, who currently competes with and attends Horace Greeley HS in Chappaqua, NY, and also plays club ball with Prime Time Lacrosse.

Welcome and congrats to her!

Looks like volleyball has picked up a new addition for next (2024) season!

My initial QUICK search hasn't identified who yet, but usually it comes out in a day or two (especially if not an international player).

(Given how late it is for 2024's in general, my usual guess this time of the year is that the student-athlete is likely to be a transfer, and that might still be my guess if I had to bet on it. However, the team has also been tweeting out a lot lately about coaches and staff going out to various youth club tourneys the last month or so, so it could also very well be a late commit from an incoming frosh S-A.)

 
A few days ago, the track and field group announced a late addition to next season's (2024/25 academic year) frosh class for the men's team. He is hurdler / sprinter Cayden Roberson, who is from Eastvale, California, and currently attends and competes with Roosevelt HS.

OFFICIAL welcome and congrats to him!
