    Big tournament in ATL this weekend. Will probably head to a Vibe match. And maybe Michigan Auburn.

    Club update: *edit removed specifics not to dox my team.

    got 2nd out of 32 teams in one tournament and then got dead last (lol) in another tournament with high level competition. Good experience for the girls though.

    That's a tough blow.

    I'm not sure if all transfer windows are completely closed for next year but if it isn't, Sheffield will find someone

    Their vball program is impressive and she brought them from a middling Missouri Valley conference school 20 years ago to a perennial Top 15 program. Try and show some class

    She's also a former Nebraska player not that, that matters in this context

    Definitely. Will be interesting to see what she does next since it is apparently not coaching at least for the time being. Her daughter does play for Northern Iowa so I'm sure she wants to watch her last couple years. Then, maybe she'll get back into it?

    NCAA Volleyball scheduling is just the best. No one is afraid to play anyone. All the best teams have to come out of the gate swinging every year.

    Also top VB programs are actually making money now and their players are more likely to get NIL deals with national TV exposure. Plus you get a good idea of how good your team is and what you need to fix early in the season. Win-Win-Win.

    Later this evening! Don't usually get a spring scrimmage against a team with a pulse so this will be a good watch for DBK's first game. Excited to see the freshman play for the first time.

    May not mean anything since it's a spring scrimmage but Sky Pierce gets the start replacing Beason and interestingly Choboy at libero instead of Mauch replacing Lexi

    Yeah she looks fantastic. So nice to have a lefty at that opposite hitter position. Between her and the Baylor transfer that's joining in a couple weeks, I think we'll be good to go

    Gaddam! Campbell Flynn is the biggest f-ing setter I've ever seen lol. I knew she was a tall setter but holy moly. I also don't mean it in a bad way just that she's like the same size/stature as a middle hitter

    I don't think she'll go to Texas. Gonna guess Sheffield got the deal done since Lopez tore her ACL

    Yeah, Wisky just makes so much sense unfortunately. I never thought about PSU as I'm not as familiar with their roster outside of Stark and the 2 former 'skers that went there. Emily knows her stuff though so I trust her on that part.

    As far as what she said about us...I don't see DBK trying that in her first year but there is that unknown aspect where no one really knows how she's going to handle things like this now that she's here. While Martin is the best Oppo in college vball I just question if DBK would want to potentially upset the current roster when you consider the potential that's already there with Pierce and Hunter on a long term basis.

    What would be best case scenario for us is if Martin gets a bag from someone like USC but as Emily stated, she's probably only looking at schools that have a legit national championship shot.

    I would be shocked if Nebraska went after Martin, almost 0% chance given their roster and new additions.
