Gophers get volleyball commitment from Turkey's Zeynep Palabiyik, one of Europe's top liberos
Keegan Cook and his coaching staff have been in a dead sprint of roster building since taking over in December. It took a trip to Istanbul to finalize the 2023 team.
It took a journey to Istanbul to wrap things up — at least for this season.
The final spot for the 2023 Gophers roster was filled Wednesday with the announcement that Turkish libero Zeynep Palabiyik will join the team this month. The exact date isn't pinned down because she is playing with the Turkish national team in an attempt to qualify for the 2024 European Championships.
"It's certainly late," Cook said about Palabiyik's commitment, "but you'd rather be right than first, I guess. I feel pretty good about our roster now, heading into fall camp next week."
