New discussion about 2024 team prospects. Leaving landfair and shaf comment’s behind.

Can we end this conversation with MplsGopher as I think you’re both beating a dead horse. Simply shaf doesn’t set her mIddles and team passing was below par(landfair and company). Let’s move on. Maybe any thoughts about possible portal pickups?

If they keep shaft, then they should red shirt Swenson as to not waste her eligibility.

Happy for Wenass and glad Texas took out Booth and badgers in the semifinals. Texas could be a 3 peat with Skinner coming back next year. She is a phenomenal player.

Not sure why you need to be so negative. Sure this season wasn’t what everyone is accustomed to, but with huge transfer losses, new coach and system and lots of periods of lackluster play it provides a point to begin rebuilding the program under KCook. It will probably be more difficult with...

What happened to Grote today? I would like to see Crowl utilized more as lefty provides more problems for opponents. Hopefully they develop Minatee as a slide option next year.

Would they add multiple mid week DH to include more teams in the schedule?

Sometimes a athlete is ready to move on and start their career. Not every athlete is going to play professionally.

I’m curious about how the B1G will work the schedule after this season. Currently we only play 8 of 13 teams. Will this change when they’re 17 possible opponents?

O Seven straight losses to ranked opponents. If they make the tournament don’t expect them to get past the second round at best.

I agree it this a lot of unknowns. Hopefully some will work out.

I think you are right that this season’s shortcomings are more mental than a lack of physical ability. Hopefully with the Swenson twins and some good transfers, especially DS/Libero and some strong blockers this team can find the right mentality to fight through tough situations.

I’ll record it just in case a miracle occurs, but if I was a betting person I would say 3 and out.

Another missed opportunity for a important ranked win. The inability to close sets is very frustrating. Landfair needs to work on serve receive(52 errors before tonight’s match). Wucherer needs to mix her shots like last year and not blast every shot. Too predictable. Where is the middle attack...

Like you I have been surprised by the play of gophers this year, but that being said I still believe the team has the potential for success in the second half of the season. There have been many changes and it takes time to get comfortable in a new system.

I tend to disagree with your assessment. There’s still a lot to play for this season. Granted, no B1G title or NCAA championship, but growth as a unit can help toward next year. Benching a player can have a positive affect.

I think the priority for next year is to get 3 libero/DS players to rebuild the back row defense. I think the girl from turkey should improve with more time as she came over in august. Need 2 more for sure. I think Swenson will take the setter position next year. Hope they can figure out how to...

Not sure. I stopped watching during the first set and checked the score periodically.

I totally expect they will be completely out of the top 25, which will be a first since 2014. Time to bench some players during the next 2 weeks. A little mental reset. I never expected to see the gophers playing so poorly.

Why can’t this team come ready to play. I think they won the first set 3 times in 13 matches so far. Most of first set losses were blow outs. They need crowl in the lineup for energy and a different look.
