I would say the extra covid year and scholarships running out (see OSU) is one factor. But that's a very good question.

Yeah, I don't think I would if I was in those shoes. There was a discussion about this on the Badger VT page. Supposedly Sheffield had told Lauren Carlini that he would continue to recruit competition for her spot, and her response was "good luck". While I love that swagger, I have to wonder...

So, the B1G is shaping up as a portal all star conference, particularly NE, PSU, and WI (TTA just committed today). Question - do teams like MN need to do the same to compete? Personally, I'd prefer to build the traditional way and supplement with an occasional transfer to fill a need (as...

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out for PSU, and comparatively for MN (being one year behind PSU in this coach change process). PSU rebounded very nicely last year and looks to be poised for even greater success this year. I know Rollins and Hord transferred out from PSU after Rose...

My understanding is that he likes to run a faster paced offense, which is similar to Hugh. According to the podcast interview he did with Mike Grimm (see other thread), he plans to emphasize stronger serving, which most would agree is a change from Hugh's low-error serving schemes. He also...

I thought Podraza was taking the spring semester to finish her degree and thus would not be transferring until a later date (or perhaps I am mixing up OSU portal players). Regardless, I wonder when/if this type of portal recruiting starts to affect HS recruiting for some schools. In other...

Perhaps you aren't concerned about replacing Wenaas's front right side production, but we can't overlook her back row contributions. Those are big shoes to fill.

It really pains me to say it, but I have to admit the pendulum swung to the East during the Rettke/Hilley tenure. Before that, I firmly contend that MN was historically the better program, but getting their 1st natty and now 4 straight B1G championships counts for something. I'm really looking...

I believe players entering the portal can specify 'do not contact', as Wenaas was reported to have done. Presumably, these players have a pretty clear idea of where they are going. If they don't specify 'do not contact', I believe any coach can contact. I believe Murr is planning to finish...

Thanks for the 'cheer up'. You're right, we'll be solid. If Stanford can have a freshmen class come together that quickly, why can't we?

So disappointed, I really thought this was the year. Senior-laden team, battle-tested in the B1G, peaking at the right time, ... Stanford was just so TALL! Makes me feel Hugh needs to go out and get some 6'6 blockers. Well, we've still got SSS, Lohman, Hart, and Rosado, but we're...
