Depends on the transfers obviously.

Maybe we're supporting the wrong program. ;) MN Dance Team

One thing we do know is that we want players who WANT to be here. If that means going back to recruiting mostly Minnesota kids, so be it. I can get behind a team if the players are committed to the program. Much harder when everyone is just looking for the greener grass. Impossible when your...

That’s not the point. The point is it is very difficult to develop chemistry when transfers arrive in August. More difficult anyhow. It would really help to have the 2024 team together this spring.

Miyabe was the JoCo PoY coming here. I was actually surprised she didn't end up with a bigger role.

They could also promote Miranda. Marci would be another possibility if interested.

Kylin was originally a volunteer.

I’d like to see a former Gopher. Or at least someone local. The program could use a show of support and ties to its past. I have no idea if she’d even be interested but Joy Tietz could return. CC? Morgan? Handley? I’m sure there are others.

Or just let Minatee play the whole time. It would help her development if she stays healthy.

I'm truly curious. I have some thoughts I will eventually share, but I'd like to hear your reasons -- and if current events are impacting your enthusiasm. If the thread goes nowhere, then I may still share. Because what else is a forum for other than for me to bore people.

True, but the taller and more athletic they are, you'd think they'd also want to hit. But then I don't know why middles are automatically pigeon-holed as non-passers, non-back row players. Still remember Cacciamani at Penn State.

I haven’t heard of any team that has both setters hit. As a matter of fact, other than Stanford before the Gopher team, I can’t name another team that did it after 1990 or so. I’m sure there have been. but no top teams. It was really a bold move by Hebert, especially considering Lindsey had...

Troll someone else. TIA.

Also, for the record, Hugh landed some big names, but he was also extremely creative -- forced to be due to all the unfortunate injuries after the SSS years. He also developed a LOT of players.

"Insulting to Hebert" he says, proving 1) he didn't read what I said and 2) that his definition of an insult was hypocritical. For the record, Mike was a great coach, the best Minnesota ever had. He won IN SPITE of not landing the top out-of-state recruits. For my money, the 2004 Gopher team...

I’m going to need more details about two liberos. TIA.

I am going to ignore Mpls and the constant insults -- he/she didn't even know Bush was an interim coach. Plus he/she constantly seems to think I have said things I did not. One thing I haven't seen mentioned, in terms of creativity, is playing Crowl at middle. Yes, she is left-handed, but they...

It's never been easy to get elite out-of-state talent to come here. Hugh's reputation changed that. Where we are headed is TO the Mike Hebert days (if we are lucky). Even Mike was not able to attract the top recruits, other than MN kids. Keeping the MN elite players was a step-up from the...

The program’s reputation is not what it was. Sure hope Keegan can stop the bleeding.

Whatever happened to Lexi? Is she playing pro? Beach?
