Colorado Volleyball: Big-Time Commitments in Class of 2028

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week, another round of exciting commitment news!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colorado continues to produce athletes ready to compete at the next level, and these three are no exception. Years of hard work, countless hours in the gym, and trusting the process have led to this moment. We couldn't be more excited to celebrate them as they take the next step in their volleyball careers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's take a look!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Madlen Gloessner, Stanford University</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["750205"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f1b6bc9b0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gloessner has continued to separate herself as one of the nation's top young talents. She impacts the match on both sides of the net, covers a tremendous amount of space, and continues to grow every time she steps on the court. Additionally, representing Colorado on the USA Volleyball U17 National Team speaks volumes about the work she has put in and the player she has become. Stanford is adding an elite competitor, and Colorado is incredibly proud to call her one of its own. Congratulations, Madlen!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Raya Thompson, Cal State Bakersfield</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["532671"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f1b6bc9bfa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson brings one thing that is hard to teach—an explosive arm swing. She attacks with confidence, generates impressive pace, and continues to develop into a dynamic pin hitter. Furthermore, her willingness to keep improving has been evident throughout her journey. There is still plenty of volleyball ahead, and Thompson will certainly remain a Colorado player to watch. Congratulations to Raya on an exciting next chapter!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Londyn Donaldson, Notre Dame</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["827124"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f1b6bc9c85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Donaldson's athleticism immediately jumps off the court. She has the ability to score from multiple areas, plays above the net, and continues to expand her game every season. Whether she is attacking in transition or putting away a quick ball, she creates problems for opposing defenses. Notre Dame is gaining an exceptional athlete with tremendous upside, and we cannot wait to watch her continue representing Colorado at the next level. Congratulations, Londyn!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Congratulations!</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Commitments like these are a reminder that hard work pays off.
