Kinney should be backup for Opp and we have serious injured OH's coming back next season. I realistically don't expect Wucherer to provide a full season with her back and Acevedo might not be the same player before her injury. I know nothing about Crosson, Is she another Hanson or one in the...

I know this has nothing to do with the present Gopher Volleyball team. Just a FYI for those who would be interested. #15 - Melani #5 - Lydia I found several game highlights on YouTube and watching right now a full match vs TV Waldgirmes broadcast by DYN Volleyball. I Googled their team...

That's why this HC needs to establish a MORE RELIABLE ROSTER of BACKUP players and keep our recruits here. Lot of parity out there and I don't see us making a huge jump next year either in the standings. Hate to say this (R) uffda!, but I can see JTay a player other teams might want to...

The key to your statement is the word "impactful". Absolutely, correct in your assessment. We have nobody to replace Hanson's offense on this roster or in the future recruits so it would have to be an impactful transfer. With the injury to our OH's, there is no guarantee either Wucherer or AA...

I'm going to keep saying it, THE BIG IS REALLY DOWN THIS YEAR. They graduated all those 5-6 yr COVID players and it shows.

I totally hear you. Whether players are recruited or not or approach a volleyball program and express interest on their own, they should be treated like any other business. Isn't it the dream of many HS players to play for the top college in their state some day? IMO programs are in a...

I did watch on YouTube early last evening the entire match. Actually, I thought we didn't play all that bad. We are not on the same level as Nebraska and, for the most part, I felt our Gophers played entrely within their means...that is great for them. If there is any scouting going on and...

I'm not indicating nor trying to that it is good for this sport. However, it is a Fact, whether any of us enjoy it or not. Women's volleyball runs through Nebraska in the US. What I, as a volleyball fan, enjoy the most is watching a well oiled machine operate on their win to the GOLD. The...

JCook started this NOW upper class of players at Nebraska, when they were Freshman. He stayed with that choice......not necessarily because they were the #1 ranked recruiting class that year, but he could see the potential these players had in their future. Well their future is here now and...

I was unable to watch this match. I was reading elsewhere that there was a lot of tipping by Hanson. If that is true, then Stella was inconsistent with her setting. IMO Julia is not afraid to go off on the opponent, if the opportunity is there. Someone can certainly let me know, if my...

You are absolutely correct. IMO Swenson is not getting any better and not the same setter that started the season. The schedule is getting tougher and she has regressed. Both Pedro and Crissy are doing their best in their coaching.....middles and back court/serving. However, it is the...

So far I'm not finding tonight's match a surprise at all. In this stretch of our schedule our coaches really need to find a way for us to have more than Hanson as an offense. Is it the passing, setting and/or hitting? IMO the double sub is an absolute useless move. I fail to understand it's...

I don't feel we necessarily play our best volleyball against Maryland and Rutgers, when we visit them this late in the season. In the past, these two matches more or less would be looked at as a given.....but I don't think they are anymore. Both programs appear to be playing us tougher every...

It is never easy when we travel to Wisconsin and I'm afraid this will be no different. Wisconsin will also be playing several Freshmen. However, they can and do score a lot more from the right side than the Gophers. When it comes to the middles, Myers needs to show up for this entire match...

FACT: Our remaining schedule is BRUTAL for any team in the Big.

Yes, as a previous HC in the Pac-12 I would have thought Keegan would be prepared and with a decent game plan. However, you are right, his game plan isn't translating to wins for us and that leaves a huge question, for me anyway, WHY?

Hanson has NATURAL ability. She has been performing at a high level since she FINALLY got her chance to start. To think she was sitting behind both Landfair and Wucherer and couldn't crack the starting lineup. IMO right now ACE has the best all around game and I am hoping with her injury she...

MY REALITY CHECK - The Gophers got the win in three but it wasn't pretty at all that third set. This team was handling pressure really well early on but not lately and that is not a good sign. We are entering the toughest part of our season and as much as we enjoy all our Freshman it is more...

YES QUALITY for true success. Well, there are Continuous top 10 teams (Nebraska-Texas for sure) out there with quality players on the bench that don't see much playing time. I don't know how they maintain that year after year after year but they do. You will then see these bench players...

In my mind all players should be able to CONTRIBUTE at some point or another. If they are being DEVELOPED in their strengths, a coach should be using that to his advantage. Nobody saw this situation we are in coming. I dont't know, but if this is really really really helping us then by all...
