Heard Weske is on a visit to Rice this weekend. Not sure what that means for MN.
One would think that either Crowl or Schnichels should be playing RS. However, maybe just maybe this coaching staff has evaluated this team and feel the need for more experience on the RS. Hanson is too short and had her struggles too. I think KCook emphasizes the importance of "blocking". So we need to take that into consideration.Really not trying to be mean or a jerk, but ....
why do we need another RS?? We have Crowl and we have a fantastic recruit here now in Schnichels.
One of those two should be the starter. Or maybe both play some to start the year out and figure out who wins it.
Unless Weske is going to switch to OH, then I don't get why we would take her. She would be backup with Hanson.
What we actually need is another MB, and another defensive specialist.

Well I'm saying, I think Weske and Hanson would be the backups at OH, in that case. We'd have Crowl and Schnichels at RS.We definitely don't need another RS. Taking an all around player like Weske is a no-brainer but if she chooses to go elsewhere then I'd stick with those two. I think Crowl is poised to make a big leap, her size is irreplaceable on the block.
Or Gray on the back row. Has anyone heard anything about the libero from Maryland. Has she been visiting anywhere. Would love to get her, but I am guessing she wants that libero jersey wherever she goes. A fan can dream though.Well I'm saying, I think Weske and Hanson would be the backups at OH, in that case.

Need a solid, older MB, if nothing more to provide guidance and support to Davis and Minatee. And we need another defensive backrow player. Unless they're saying that McGhie will be that role in the fall.
If KCook can convince her to play DS this upcoming year, then I think she'll still have two years remaining once Murr is gone. Also it wouldn't hurt to have a nice back-up in case anything should happen to Murr (god forbid).Or Gray on the back row. Has anyone heard anything about the libero from Maryland.

She is completely unproven. Not sure I want to role with only her as the lone DS.Or Gray on the back row.
It's certainly causing my interest D1 volleyball to crash and burn. As I've written in other posts, there appear to be teams of grad students competing in an undergraduate league.That seems to be the ONLY way Texas could win a title. They finally made the team Elliot-proof.
Count me in the group that hopes this sort of stuff causes programs to crash and burn. It's borderline unethical (and may not even be borderline).
Once Covid years are done, the grad students still only get 4 years to compete.It's certainly causing my interest D1 volleyball to crash and burn. As I've written in other posts, there appear to be teams of grad students competing in an undergraduate league.
I really would like to see it go now to that all transfers, except with a waiver only for extraordinary circumstances (sorry, the coach leaving is not good enough!), have to sit out the following Fall season.
Nope. Not for graduating early. That was your choice. You could’ve easily stretched it out and taken a normal course load so that you graduate at the end of the fall semester of your last season.
I won’t reward them for purposefully graduating early just so they can go transfer to an all-star team for their last year.
That’s TTA to Wisc.
I agree with this statementI am all for the athletes having rights, whether to make money via NIL or transfer. For too long, the whole NCAA system was set up to use them and not give them any rights beyond their scholarships.
And? What I said holds.TTA graduated in 4 years. She's a Covid year mercenary.
Free transfer with no sit-out is not a right.I am all for the athletes having rights, whether to make money via NIL or transfer.
We get it, you don't like the new transfer rules. I also don't like what it has done to college volleyball fandom, but I'm attempting to separate athlete rights from fan preferences.Free transfer with no sit-out is not a right.
Which sports league allows a player to say "I'm done with this team, I'm tearing up my contract and I'll just decide to go play somewhere else next year".
Not a thing, nor should it be.
That's what it is for all sports other than football. Step foot on the field, court, mat, etc. and you've participated in the season. So it counts as one of your maximum four seasons that you get to participate in, over a five calendar year period.Women's volleyball was play one game and it's a season.
Not aware of any such rule that limits scholarship benefits to only Fall and Spring semesters, for any sport.Also summer school for football players is paid by the school. Volleyball was not.
If Murr won’t be on campus till summer, who will the gophers play in the back row during their spring season? The only back row player on the roster is Gray.No one seems to know anything about Gomillion's plans. If she was visiting schools someone would know about it I would think. I doubt she'd consider coming to MN to be the DS, as much as we'd love it. I think we need another middle first and then pray Cook and his team can develop Gray or someone else to be a top notch backrow player this year.
We do not need an opp.Sounds like Weske is transferring to Rice. I for one am hoping this Coaching Staff continues searching for an experienced Opp, another MB and 1-2 DS/L. Remember, injuries can happen to any player at any time. I would be happy with a roster of 16.
As someone stated on VB, do we want this program settling for 3rd or 4th in the BIG next season or do we want to continue to be able to compete for a Conference Championship etc.? There was talk that someone didn't feel Weske was needed on this Gopher team.
Again, Wenaas back right court performance last season, is going to be hard to replace.
