Gopher 2026 Volleyball Commitments

Wenaas was getting shit on all over social media for how poorly she played in Texas' last game

It wasn't just that match......fans have been like that about her playing at Texas since she arrived. I just think they are worse whenever a player does poorly....especially, when losing such an important match.

Wenaas did. Booth left after the announcement, right?

Former Gophers volleyball standout Carter Booth transfers to rival Wisconsin

The All-Big Ten first-team selection's departure comes days after Jenna Wenaas left the program for national champion Texas.

I just remember that is wasn't necessarily welcomed by fellow players something like that. They discontinued following her on Social Media I believe.

It just doesn't matter what sport you play in and if you are a top player or not. In today's world it appears you are opening yourself up to either a lot of praise and glory or a lot of criticism.

From the 12-25-22 Strib

The 6-7 middle blocker told the Wisconsin State Journal that despite Hugh McCutcheon's midseason announcement that he would be stepping down as Gophers coach after the season, she hadn't initially decided to leave until last week, after she returned home to Denver and had a long discussion with her parents.

"It seems fast. It was fast," Booth told the newspaper. "This was literally, I woke up committed to Minnesota and I went to bed that night wanting to enter the transfer portal. A complete coaching change is a really big change. I think I was sort of downplaying it so I wouldn't have to make this decision.
"This is scary. Change is scary. I've been committed to Minnesota for seven years. However, I owed it to myself to explore my options."

I don't know how many coaches a Div 1 team can have, but I know that was talked about elsewhere. Now a few BIG Teams have added a USA Olympian to their coaching staff. Setter Lauren Carlini is Wisconsin's newest coach and their was some question if she was helping coach from the bench during one of their conference matches. It appeared there was talk about too many coaches on the court and she wasn't allowed to coach. However, it looked like she might have been.

Kelly Sheffield is pretty well known, in the rumor mill at least, for viewing the rule book as a collection of "suggestions"

With Eva Hudson and Chloe Chicoine in the portal for Purdue, you have to assume one ends up at Wisconsin and one ends up at Penn State.

Or they might both end up at Wisconsin.

Ugh. I am caring less and less about college sports.

Just got done watching the Wisconsin vs Nebraska Regional Championship match.

AT HALF TIME, if you were listening, the on floor Announcer asked JCook to comment on Taylor Landfair leading both teams with kills. His response was something like, "Good because that is what she is GETTING PAID TO DO". Yes....I believe it is a business ran program MINDSET in Nebraska.

I heard the same thing and thought what ? Did he just tell the truth ?? Also, Landfair played an excellent match

Egan ended up at Wisconsin and Sellman ended up at Penn State from the Ohio State pillaging.

 

[(R)uffda!]

Both programs are corrupt. I want Minnesita to be better but I wouldn't be able to support a program like either of those.

Honestly, I think I'm done with the sport. All college sports. Too bad I still have to pay for them.

I saw a rumor that MB Lourdes Myers (Purdue) who just entered the portal might be heading to Minnesota (boyfriend related). I just saw that Michigan State is changing/firing their head coach which likely means players available.
