Whoa, these are bold statements! Extremely interesting, if true.

Interesting comment from Keegan that he'll have at least 2 years with every player on the roster except for Murr. Of course, it's not binding, but it makes it sound like Shaffmaster will play her 5th/covid year.

Nice to see Wucherer getting in on the early congrats

I saw that - kinda discouraging to try to keep up with that. Do we attribute that to "there's nothing besides the Huskers in the state" ? Obviously, they have a great tradition, but we have a very good tradition ourselves. It's just here in MN, we've got all of the major professional leagues...

thanks, I've corrected my post

I sure hope they are. Haven't heard anything to the contrary. Are there any other 2024 commits? Is this accurate list of future verbal commits?: 2024 - Olivia Swenson OH 2024 - Stella Swenson S 2025 - Kelly Kinney OH 2025 - Carla Gilk OPP 2025 - Jordan Taylor MB 2025 - McKenna Garr L

Love it! She's awesome!

Jeff Day of the Star Tribune is on the StribSports Daily Delivery podcast today to talk about Gopher volleyball

I see Samedy didn't make the cut for this week (again). How does this work - is there a reason to have her on the VNL roster if she doesn't get to travel?

I reached out to her as a small college coach, and she was very gracious, allowing me to sit in on a team practice

If you mean for competitive balance, then should probably add Penn State to that mix. Maybe OSU, Purdue, Illinois.

Yes, probably true. The volleyball boosters bent over backwards, saying "put us in the spring or fall, whatever works best", and going around the state visiting AD meetings to address any concerns. Statistics say that it takes very few athletes away from other sports

About time! It was frustrating to see the vote fall short the past 2 times, with no clear rationale.

I don't think so. Spring matches are usually a chance for coaches to experiment with different lineups. Often, they will only play 4 sets. It sounds like both teams went with their full strength lineups for set 1 before switching things up.

Gophers_4life, I know you're not going to change your mind on this, but I think it's a mistake to look at college athletics as a fixed outcome formula. The most talented team is not guaranteed to win a natty. Sure, they will win more often than they'll lose, but for team success, the best you...

Interesting to see the embattled Orr hanging with the top setters. Nice to see Mel in there, too. Surprised Wucherer has slipped out of this group.

We get it, you don't like the new transfer rules. I also don't like what it has done to college volleyball fandom, but I'm attempting to separate athlete rights from fan preferences. Not sure it's worth discussing further here.

Since we're sharing personal opinions, I'll throw mine in too. I am all for the athletes having rights, whether to make money via NIL or transfer. For too long, the whole NCAA system was set up to use them and not give them any rights beyond their scholarships. That said, I am selfishly sad...

Or if any Badgers transfer out in the next portal window...

I'm with you 100%, although I admit my dislike of WI/Sheffield is a factor. That said, if MN was scooping up all of the top portal transfers, I would still dislike the practice.
