2019 Recruits
We have our first verbal for this classs. 5'10" setter Livia Sandt from St Louis. Attends Lutheran South HS and plays for Rockwood Thunder Club. Teams like to recruit setters in an every other year cycle. We have two in the 2017 class plus Brooke Westbeld, so this fits that model.
Welcome Livia and congrats to the coaching staff for this early commitment. I think it's Alyssa who has been on the road recruiting this spring and it's paying off.

Livie gave verbal back when we were at the A-10 tournament at SLU, and that was before Alyssa came on board. Was posted way back in Nov/Dec.
Talked with her, her mother and Tim. Tim said can't have too many setters. Her HS bio had her verbaled to Dayton back then as well.
Really nice (shy) person. Proud mom from South St. Louis, Luthern HS. She and mom were really excited about playing for Dayton. I compared her to Alina Turner height and size wise. She wore here UDVB t-shirt proudly. Have pic of her but since she is still in HS wont post it.

It just posted on Rich Kern on May 15, 2017. Once it hits Kern's site it's kind of the unofficial "other coaches stop going after that player." Plus TH tweeted his rockstar day message about a week before that so I was watching who showed up on Kerns site. Yes her name has been out there for awhile, but we had no official confirmation of an offer/verbal and now we do.

Someone on here said having too many setters is like having too many point guards: its impossible.
I tend to agree. Ive always felt if you have a good setter and a good libero, you can be dangerous even if everyone else around them is suspect. They consume too many touches of the ball and put everyone else in a position of success.
