Both teams are led by freshmen setters, so just following Ella’s footsteps in setting their team to a natty as a frosh 

Another fun fact. Louisville’s setter is the little sister Naomi Cabello who was a setter at Texas for 2 years (Jhenna Gabriel beat her out) before transferring to NC State.

Rumor on VT is that Nebraska's volleyball NIL collective landed Eva Hudson from Purdue...gonna be interesting to see the fall out that occurs with his Cook's current roster and incoming recruits

Kentucky. Not Nebraska

Pretty sick.

Fleck was a monster, Logan was Logan and no one ever gives SKT the credit but she was one of the best setters we’ve ever had in only one year

Logan was the clear leader, but all of em man.  All of them.  Such a likeable team.

Likeable, yes. We expected them to win it all too

Last year was the surprise one. And that team was so likable too with Asjia and Bella and Molly

That ‘22 squad was incredible. Other than Cat, Logan is my favorite Longhorn female athlete all-time. Extremely talented and a great ambassador for the university. Nice dovetail with Lexi bolting and Logan reclassifying. I’m glad she got that ring. It’s a damn shame Cat never won one.

Real bummer DeBeer was injured. 

Penn State having a reverse-2012. It was Micah Hancock’s injury in the semifinals that year that stopped them from a title. (and Texas benefitted by playing Oregon and not PSU)

Huh.  Kind of weird that the one that won the starting battle is the one leaving.  

I wonder if there was something to the chemistry argument and Averi and the team didn’t have the right chemistry 

Also Ella announcing a return could be what a coach may have used to entice her into the portal. Like do you want to be in a battle or do you want to just come here and start? (SMU….)

I don't think we are going to go after many OHs in the portal. I wonder if Elliot just wants to work with what he's got. 

S - Swindle
L - Halter
OH - Lauenstein (possibly 6ro)
OH - AVW/Spears (think AVW can play 6ro)
MB - Singletary
MB - Ames (I do not think Harvey will beat her out, because she's not enrolling until summer)
OPP - Devin (possibly 6ro)
DS - Krueger

I feel like Elliott went all in the last three years for the national championship. It worked out two of those years as well as could possibly be hoped. I thought this team had a real shot at a three peat. The roster looked more talented than anyone in the country not named Nebraska. But they just never came together like last year's group did. 

After virtually ignoring a couple of classes in terms of development, outside of Halter and Singletary, and maybe Kahahawai, I'm interested to see how he handles the next two classes. He's been winning a lot of his recruiting battles the last 3 years, so he should have a lot of his first choices for the most part. 

I'd like to see us make a serious run at the SEC title. I believe next year is the first year for a volleyball tournament. Not a big fan of it, but I'm also not a big fan of coming in second this year to Kentucky after beating them head to head. 

After having so many transfers littering the lineup, that one only has Lauenstein. I'm interested to see what kind of serving lineup we put out there. Starting with Swindle, Halter, Lauenstein, and Kahahawai is pretty stout.

Sophomore outside hitter Torrey Stafford entered the transfer portal Sunday, sending a shockwave through the Pitt volleyball program.

Stafford just wrapped up a season in which she earned first team All-ACC and All-American honors. She was second on the team in both points per set (4.24) and kills per set (3.70), but her hitting percentage (.358) led all three of the pin hitters on the squad.

The National Player of the Year semifinalist was a big part of Pitt’s 33-2 season that ended with a loss in the Final Four to Louisville.

Yeah, it would be stupid for any program not to go after Stafford, regardless of what they currently have on their roster or what incoming recruits they are bringing in. 

I still think it's imperative to get an experienced DS/L from the portal as well.

With how the Carlson transfer went down, I doubt there will be a setter wanting to compete with Ella for the starting position.

Agreed. Texas does not traditionally redshirt their freshman pins, but you’d have Whitney and Devin both graduating and could redshirt both Spears and AVW to play Stafford, Whitney and Devin. 2 spots immediately open up in 2026 for Spears/AVW but when you have Gaido here too and Henley coming in

I've watched prep VB for a long time. Henley is the best player I've ever seen in person.

How she adjusts to the college game and speed? Hard to say but she is dominant at the juniors level. Literally undefendable at times.

Come play DS for a year and then win the libero job in 2026

Quote

Indiana volleyball libero Ramsey Gary has entered the transfer portal, according to an Indiana Athletics spokesperson.

Gary is coming off her sophomore season, during which she earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors, which she also did during her freshman season. She also made the AVCA Midwest All-Region team this season.

The Pendleton, Indiana, native led the Hoosiers with 438 digs (4.06 per set) and was one of three Big Ten players to finish their season with at least four digs per set. She was second on the team with 101 assists (0.94 per set) in the 2024 season.

During her freshman season, Gary led the Big Ten and tied for second among freshmen in the NCAA with 530 digs, breaking Indiana’ single season freshman and all-time single season digs record.

Gary started in all 63 of Indiana’s games over the past two seasons as the Hoosiers finished 21-12 and 15-15, respectively.

Based on the AA game yesterday, AVW looks like she can play 6 rotations if we don’t get Stafford - close to perfect passing. Spears looked like a future star at OPP, which opens up the other OH spot for Henley in 2026 after Whitney and Devin graduate.

Think Krueger will probably get a year to adjust or sub in if a 6 rotation pin is struggling, if we get Gary from Indiana.

I want AVW to be our Harper Murray, without the diva attitude and drunk driving and theft issues.
