She has all the tools you look for in a six-rotation outside and continues to get better while showing improving on-court leadership and poise.</p> <p>This is a big get for Nebraska, which is one of the top programs in the nation. The Huskers last won the national championship in 2017, while making a regional finals appearance this past season.</p> <p>Murray follows in the footsteps of her sister, Kendall, who is playing Big Ten volleyball at the University of Michigan.</p> <h4><strong>Bloom heading to the ACC</strong></h4> [caption id="attachment_130378" align="alignright" width="199"]<img class="wp-image-130378" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pd/uploads/2021/02/19_Josie-Bloom2-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" /> [player_tooltip player_id="24842" first="Josie" last="Bloom"][/caption] <p>Another big recent commitment in the last month was 2022’s top defender, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="24842" first="Josie" last="Bloom"] </strong>(Notre Dame Prep/Michigan Elite), making a commitment to <strong>Virginia Tech</strong>.</p> <p>The 5’6” libero is another in a line of tremendous defenders from the Notre Dame Prep program.
