I'm going to all three Gopher vollyball games this weekend after watching the football team on T.V. Thursday night. I'm anxious to see how some of the freshmen play in both sports.

I'm anxious to see how recruiting goes with a big name coach. 2013 is already filled, but I'm not aware of any commitments for 2014 now that the younger McNeil isn't coming. I'm hoping we get one or two top 20 recruits for 2014. Mike Hebert was able to get top 10 and top 20 recruits, so I hope...

It looks as if Palmer will often play setter in the back row and Tabberson at the net. If Santana comes along, we may not miss Cowles. I believe this is another NCAA Tourney team. Hope tthe freshmen improve as the season progresses.

I heard it will be September 12 at the latest, but also it may be earlier in September.

We offered Linndsey Lawmaster early, so I assume she is likely to be a good libero. I believe we started Paula Gentil and Christine Tan as freshmen. You might be right mnsport, but there are a lot of options at libero if Lawmaster doesn't work out (e.g. Palmer who transferred from Santa Clara)...

Kellie is no longer on the roster on gophersports.com. I assume Mia Tabberson will start at setter again. Mia started over Kellie for most of last year (including the last three sets against Washington in the NCAA Tourney), but Kellie had more upside. The only two other setters on the roster are...

This really hurts. The coaches thought enough of her to start her against Washington in the tourney. I wonder if it is a problem with the McNeil family.

It will be interesting to see if he makes a big difference in recruiting. 2013 is already set, but he may have a bigger impact in 2014 and 2015.

I'm worried also, mnsports. Maybe the senior setter, who is transfering from Santa Clara, could fill the libero role while Lawmaster picks up experience. I believe both Paula Gentil and Christine Tan started as freshmen, but I don't know if Lawmaster is ready. Also, Rick Kern finally has...

I saw two of the three matches in the Gopher's spring tourney yesterday. I thought the Gophers looked better than they did last year in the spring. They played only two sets in each match. They swept Northern Iowa and South Dakota. Split with NDSU. I assume we will play even better when we get a...

It looks as if the Gophers will have four setters on their roster next year. That seems to be more than they should need even if they play two setters at a time.

I believe today (4-11-12) in the Spring national signing day. I don't see anything on Gophersports.com. Does anyone know who signed? I was hoping to see more information on Karyn Israel, the setter from California, and on the outside hitter from Puerto Rico.

Thanks Nooram. It looks as if we have 5 commits for 2013. Maybe Sooter leaving opened up one more scholarship. I hope it doesn't mean we can't get the rumored recruit from Puerto Rico in school and are taking only three recruits for 2012. We have Hauer, Lawmaster and Israel for 2012. We...

Nooram, does the recruit from Hawaii really have an interest in the Gophers? I think we might be full for 2013. Also, I'm hoping we get the outside hitter from Puerto Rico on April 11 (spring signing date). The rumor about Dana Knudsen seems to be true because they are not looking at middle...

I checked the Wisconsin Green Bay stats, and I see that Lindstedt did not play much last fall. She might already be in school and has decided to walk on. I don't think a transfer can be on the roster until they have registered. We really need Knudson.

I heard we were going to try to get a transfer to play middle blocker. Now I wonder about a libaro and if we are going to give one more scholarship in April.

I wonder if we will play with a two setter offense (6-2) next year. We will have Mia, Kellie and this new setter next year. In the past we carried just two setters.

I hope the Gophers play the way they did in the last three sets against Washington. I assume Tabberson will start, but I still think McNeil has more upside.

They have been inconsistent this year, but they have some players with talent. This week end with Penn State and OSU at home will be tough, but if the Gophers can win both, we have a good chance to go deep in the NCAA Tourney. We have the regionals at home in any case.

Texas played a lot better last night, but the Gophers were able to hold them off in much closer sets. I am very impressed with the team so far. Hope both volleyball and football have successful seasons. For me first or second in the Big Ten would be a succesfull volleyball season and 3rd or 4th...
