IMO this is A typical of JCook. He always talks out of "both sides of his mouth". He has had some of the highest ranked recruiting classes in Division1 year after year after year. It is not a concern for him. He is going to put out there the best players he can to run his system. These...

Right now I am hoping the Minnesota administration can provide us with an updated Volleyball Roster by the beginning of the next Semester starting in January 2024. At least we will know who will be enrolled practicing with the volleyball team and available for matches during are 2024 Spring...

Wanted to wake up this morning to some definite news. I sure woke up to news but absolutely not what I was expecting. TayLa will be here at Minnesota for the 2024 Spring Season and Mendelson supposedly now visiting Kentucky. This program just keeps struggling, when trying to move on. TayLa's...

I have only read that Morris is possibly going to Oregon and Foster has committed to SMU. Also, because Nebraska's Caroline Jurevicius has transferred to Penn State, Mendelson could be following her there. Mendelson is the two sport athlete out of Utah that had narrowed her college preferences...

This is an example of how tough it is to keep up with Texas and Nebraska in the recruiting process. It has been going on for years and will continue. I know the following very interesting link is not Gopher news but I also have no idea where Wenaas will fit into this picture next season at...

More than likely many Christmas wish lists are in the past and New Year wish lists are now in effect. IDK Gopher fans this is worrisome, at least to me, that there hasn't been any word to fill needed positions on this roster for the 2024 season. Also, when players visit and then decide to...

Davis is in the portal too. She transferred in from Ohio State and was their starter. I have no idea why she left there but I never felt she improved to where she was effective for us at the net in the two seasons she was a Gopher. IMO she always seemed to play with nervous energy and...

I don't know when it is an appropriate time for a HC to retire, but so far Hugh's decision certainly has not worked out for this Gopher Volleyball Program. This new announcement is just another one of those not helping a new HC trying to rebuild a VB program. Maybe he played a role in both and...

That is my guess. TTA did not play 6R and I am going to assume TL will not be either. The college announcement, with a BINGO from Sheff, will solidify this transfer soon enough. The glue holding this program together is getting thinner and thinner by the day. Gopher fans talk about how so...

Well, there is the chance that no other colleges came "knocking at her door". I think this might be a huge possibility. She didn't go looking very far, which most of us expected would happen. I really think it will be Wisconsin.

When Landfair came to Minnesota, I remember that Hitch in her swing and how Hugh worked on it with her. Then we never saw it for the next two years until the beginning of this season. There were moments of it as brief as they were. One would have to go back to the early matches to see what I...

I'm not sure for 2024, but Penn State isn't far behind. Pitt has had their moments of portal success too.

Exactly correct. Some programs appear to be better at it as one would say "scouting their opponent".

I don't remember exactly where I saw this, but someone was asking about watching an entire HS volleyball match with the Swenson Twins or something on that line. Found this information on the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) website, but it will cost you...

Reminder....History was almost rewritten. Tennessee was up 23-20 in the 4th set vs Texas and up in sets 2-1. They just collapsed and could not put it together in that set nor in the fifth. With this come from behind victory, it was certainly the turning point for Texas in this entire...

Did not catch the first set, but I don't need to. I can see that Texas is in full command of this Championship. They more or less picked up where they left off with Wisconsin. Wenaas played one of her best matches for the season. Glad she can share this title with her teammates. I am...

This coaching staff had their work cut out for them for the upcoming off season, but this decision by Landfair has really added to that. IDK if they saw this coming or not. Hugh's coaching style and KCook's just have not meshed well at all. You need scholarships and/or NIL money to make...

Grote played MB for USC her first season. I am also wondering, if this coaching staff would move her to that position? I feel they have that option too, if the portal produces another Samedy for this program. I have always felt that no matter who was on the RS for us Shaff has had some of her...

So is the coaching staff looking for an explosive OOS OH or do they feel there is promise of one on the roster or soon to be? I am hoping actually for two experienced DS/L to add to this roster for next season. The game starts in the back court and I really do not believe Z will be able to...

Did coach K mention something referencing players wanting to improve/develop in an interview? I might not have this exactly word for word but it was something similar to this.....at least I thought he said it. If anybody else can add to this, please do.
