She was on the Oregon staff that coached Thibault and Acevedo.

Arica Nassar has recruiting coordinator by her title. I'm not sure who Nellie has actually recruited besides:

Yes, McKinley Moser (often spelled Moser, sometimes confused with Mosser) is still a committed volleyball recruit for the University of Minnesota as of late 2025.

• Class Year: She is a setter from Waverly, Nebraska, in the Class of 2027.
• Commitment Status: She announced her verbal commitment to the Golden Gophers in June 2025, noting that she attended their camps and felt it was the right fit.
• Recruiting Profile: She is recognized as a high-level recruit, specifically listed as a 4-star prospect by some recruiting outlets.

IMO another MB along with another backup Setter would be great to add to our transfer or recruiting list for 2026. We shall see if our new assistant/recruiting coordinator can work any miracles for us this Fall season.

If the players aren't gonna stick around, why should the coaches?
