Kennedy would certainly solve any questions fans have about opposite next year. Although, aren't already at the 18 player maximum? On the flip side, WI and Neb have recently signed portal opposites, so I don't think we need to worry about her ending up there. Penn State, on the other hand...

I didn't follow WI's recruiting closely, but I hear Madison Quest is one of their top recruits for 25 and she does play OH. While they can say, Mimi is only there for one year and then the job is hers, I have to wonder what new and shiny toy Sheff will find in the portal next year that might...

Agreed. If I'm one of WI's ballyhooed incoming freshmen OHs, I'm rethinking things right about now. If I'm already there, I'm thinking about the spring portal.

She has made statements and tweeted, but nothing specific. I recall her saying something after the 2023 season, not sure if she did again after this last season. Again, I believe it's most likely true, but was hoping for something more substantive

What details are known? Not doubting you, but just curious what this is based upon.

pretty sure she is redshirting, along with Stella

I think Marcus Fuller wrote the most recent Strib article about Gopher VB.

I know the recruits will come and I know that there is plenty of talent still out there. Still, it's fine to feel left out when our rivals are trumpeting recruits as they come in and we're still waiting. It's only natural.

because she's finishing up spring semester at MN. She didn't join them for the spring season

A few things to add to your summary: Skyler has gotten a couple of sets with the libero jersey and seemed pretty solid, at least I thought. I would suggest that she is more likely to get DS and backup L time than McGhie. I think McGhie will be a serving sub and some setting (Gophs did some 6-2...

Yuck. So glad MN is not following this strategy, even if it would give them a better chance at a natty. Like Ruffda, I am wondering when/if this will backfire on those programs and their culture.

Mpls, is this ^ also speculation? or do you know something? I also wondered about a connection with Stella.

A month or so back, I recall someone speculating that Phoebe could come back (or was that over on VT?). Did they have some knowledge? or did their wishful thinking speak it into existence? Either way, I love it. Welcome back, Phoebe!

Well said, Nate. I think this is probably MN's best strategy, and is one that I can firmly get behind.

Thanks for posting this. At one point, he addressed potential portal incoming transfers. He seems to indicate there won't be any one season transfers (such as Kylie Murr last year). It sounds like they are being very careful in who they will offer.

just stop

well said, Ruffda! I also go back all the way to Sue Jackson flying off the raised floor in Williams, although I wasn't as deeply invested way back then as I am now. I also agree with your take on NIL/portal. I loved that MN was at least a contender for the final 4 every year, and now it...

I found myself coaching at the small college level without a formal background in the sport. I reached out to Steph Schleuder to ask if I could attend a practice. Later, Mike Hebert used to hold coaches clinics in tandem with his camps (these were invaluable and I wish others had followed...

Mpls, are you able to get your points across without insulting others? I'm not sure why you have beef with Ruffda (in my opinion, the most respected person on this board), but please let it go and try to just express your ideas without insults and name-calling. I'd enjoy reading your opinions...
