Julia Hanson Julia Hanson played only two sets, but she is as good as last year. She appears to be our terminator. Zeynep Palabiyik, at libero, really seems to have improved. There were times when all three defensive specialist payed in the back row, so the serve received seems to me to be...

Cutting Men's Indoor Track was not an expense issue. It involves a Title IX issue. They would have to add a woman's team in order to reinstate men's indoor track. The men's track team already has men on scholarship and they already have the coaches, so the cost to reinstate would be minimal, but...

The two freshmen will be starting early this month. Sydney Schnichels at right side and Calissa Minatee at middle blocker.

We already have the best libero in the country committed for the class of 2023. Laney Choboy is playing on the national team this year. We do need a defensive specialist in 2024 if Wurcherer doesn't play six rotations, but in the past Hugh has gone with walk-ons as defensive specialists. We will...

Katie Myers was third in the Big Ten in blocks. Regan Pittman was 2d and Taylor Morgan was 4th. Myers was 3d in the Big Ten in service aces. The Gophers didn't have anyone in the top ten. Myers was 4th in the Big Ten in hitting percentage and Regan was 7th.

Gophers are still 4th in this week's poll. It may be a little high, but we are definitely a top 10 team (closer to 4 than to 10). I saw all three matches this past week end. We have plenty of depth, but I think we could use one more top end player to make the final four. Maybe one of the...

I hope the libero from Puerto Rico is admitted to the U. If the defense improves, the Gophers will be a top five team in the nation this year this year. The coaches just picked them for 2d place (behind PSU) in the Big Ten.

It would be great if she came to Minnesota and improved her junior and senior year the way Catherine Harms did.

How does Baker compare to her teammate who is going to the Huskers?

Someone mentioned we may get a transfer on Volleytalk, but I have heard nothing about it, and I think someone would have to transfer out in order to have a scholarship available.

We still need an outside hitter in 2014. Lawmaster had a tough match agains Penn State, but I think she ihas been improving. Do we need anothe libero in 2014?

Thanks for the information mnsports. I know we are filled for 2013, but I appreciate any information on potential 2014 recruits. I saw Laura Bush talking to what could be a potential recruit in the first row before the Purdue game. Any idea who that was? It would be great to get Chrissy Jones.

I'm concerned about the Libero play, but in the post game press conference McCutcheon had Lawmaster as one of the two players. He must think she has enough upside, so he wants to give her confidence.

A big week end coming up with Ohio St. and Penn St. In an interview Hugh M. said the Gophers are playing at a "high Level" now. Hope they can keep it up. It would be great to win both games this week end (and have the football team keep Floyd).

Hopefully we will improve as the season goes along. I watched the video. We seemed to melt down in sets 4 and 5. The Big Ten starts next week. We should be ready for Illinois and Northwestern.

I thought Lawmaster had her best night at libero. Wittman played the first two sets and was replaced by Hauer in the third set. Haugen played in place of Wittman in the third set.

Thanks for the information. We really need Hannah Tapp to play next year because both Knudsen and Haugen will be graduating.

A split with #4 Texas is still very respectable. We won one set on the second night and hung in there with 20 points or more in the sets we lost. Texas swept Florida, so I think we showed we can compete with the best. We actually had one more kill than Texas had in the second match (we lost...

Tori Dixon was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. I think she is blocking better this year. The real test will be against #2 Texas on Thursday and Friday.

I saw all three games this week end. I think the Gophers look as good or better than last year. Santana is a very good freshman. She had 7 service aces this morning and one tonight. Also, her hard serves caused even more points for the Gophers because the other team couldn't get a good return...
