Any word on a third middle? If we can't find a transfer, is there anyone on the roster who could learn the position for emergencies? Naya hits with the wrong hand and was becoming a viable option on the right side. Is this something that would be worked on during the spring? It is still a little early to get a set middle transfer. I'm sure Hambly will eventually get one. Naya can play middle but a can only hit 2's. Either way I don't think they'll try to get her switching positions now. She really is starting to be dominant on the RS. I wish she had redshirted at Oregon. I think she is going to be a go to next year and she's developing well. Jackie Quade the 2016 was a middle her yearly years of HS but I'm not sure how she would do now.

Hmm, that's interesting. My immediate thought is that this is a replacement for Owen. Both assistants are still listed on the Illinois web site.

Hilary has decided to leave to start a family. She was great and will be missed.

This person would essentially be the Recruiting Coordinator. I wonder if Hilary is stepping back because of the baby. I hadn't heard that Owen was moving on.

I just discovered that Owen is a musician. My partner just purchased his album on iTunes. His album reminded me of Cat Stevens, but what do I know (kinda' like my volleyball knowledge). I think musician Owen should share his talent at the Volleyball Banquet!

Hope we find a big time assistant coach, we need someone that can really push these girls, sucks that we lose Hillary, but hope we get someone with an extensive background in coaching.

It looks like Hambly is looking for someone or already has his eye on someone with more experience. The preferred qualifications listed are: Proven successful coaching at the collegiate or international level preferred Proven success recruiting at NCAA Division I level preferred Minimum four years experience at the NCAA Division I or international level preferred

Good I think that's what this team really needs. Hillary did not have much experience. She only was a coach for club and a high school team. I know she was a successful setter at Illinois but that does not make you a good coach.

Owen's performance here along with the songs on his iTunes album (not his more rousing YouTube banjo-playing performance) reminded me of Cat Stevens:
Anyone else hoping for some Owen Monroy entertainment at the Volleyball Banquet?

Looks like Alexis is now on the women's basketball team. Very exciting. Not sure if she has even played in HS but who cares its a great experience for her and a great way to challenge her. She must really like to be on a team.

Give her a lot of credit. The women's basketball team needed people for practice after last year's debacle. It speaks well of her that she is willing to do all of that work to help friends.

It just occurred to me. Is there any chance she can be put on an empty basketball scholarship to free up a semester's worth of scholarship for one of the volleyball players?
