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...

Yeah, this could be frustrating to see it play out this next season, especially if she returns to form. Everyone will want to interview her and she'll get to play it how she wants it.

Pro tip - it is possible to block you know who. It definitely reduces agitation. :)

if you try TL and Tayla you'll find plenty more. There are also Gophers 2024 thread and Badgers 2024 threads with plenty more discussion. No real news, just social media follows and speculation.

Ohio State had the well publicized scholarship bind last year, but I can't think of a lot of other public situations. Perhaps some of the portal transfers are because of scholarships, but we never know. Yes, our sport is in a precarious state, it seems. Recognition has never been greater, and...

VT is Volleytalk, a fan forum for volleyball. Lots of posters over there with lots of opinions. Some have actual knowledge of the portal, and others speculate based upon social media stalking, etc. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, here's the thread regarding transfer portal speculation...

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.
