Who won? How did Ellie look? Holzman’s team won 15-11 in the 3rd! Illini Elite lost in the Qtrs Thanks. Looks like Ellie won MVP.

MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year and AAU 17s Open MVP - she looks like a great get for Illinois.

I thought I read that Hinton was a project - good potential but needs a lot of work, probably not ready for the BIG. The kind of person who is missed when one recruits 8th and 9th graders for college. How is she progressing?

Who ever said Holzman is going to be MB yeah thats not happening. Exciting to see these recruits do well at the club level. These are some quality players and I'm excited for their arrival. Interesting note is the commentator said Illinois recruits pins that dont have the highest vert but have heavy arms. I see that it is true. Prince, Cooney, Deberg, Hollowell are all kinda just tall players that have hard hits. Quade too doesnt have the highest vert. Holzman is a good get for Illini and she kinda reminds me og how Bruna hits. I just dont want Holzmans talents to go to waste her freshman year. Maybe a redshirt?

So with no MB on the roster next year - who do you are starting at MB. We have one of the best in the 2019 class who will be behind 4 upper class players. Why not put her where she could help fill a role? Bruna hits a heavy ball. Alexis Hart & Sammedy of MINN hit a heavy ball, Foecke of NEB. Our current crop of OH are not hitting anywhere as close. Love to see them add some punch and velocity next year to rival those OH.

What’s wrong with Blayke?

I think ilalum92 was referring to no mbs on the roster in 2019. I sure hope there is nothing wrong with Blayke.

That is correct - the 2019 season when we have Holzman, Hinton, Swanson and the new recruit from Zion Benton. All listed as MB/RS/OH. But we will have Prince, Quade, Cooney, Hollowell and possibly Bruna playing OH/RS. So who would start in the middle?

Just don’t see how it happens with the facts as they are currently. Caveat: I know I leave myself exposed to the WorldWideWeb Police but take the info for what it’s worth. And no I’m not giving you any more detail, back up sources, links, who Deep Throat is, or anything else. If you don’t care for the post, think I have some hidden need to post without specifics, think VT should be for just official announcements from the Staff or AD, please send your complaints to Al Gore for inventing this devils den. Or just put it in your baseless rumor category until of course it happens!

I think with improved passing and defense Blayke becomes a much better option for the middle since there is no other middle. Ali B is for sure the M1 but with Cooney's improvement and the other OH, I don't believe the front line is all that terrible. We just have to be at +3 while Blayke is in the front row.

VT is for baseless rumors, unsubstantiated whisps, and rank speculation. At least the Illinois thread generally avoids personal attacks on other posters, which I see as a great virtue (the avoidance, not the attacks}. Anyone who expects anything else doesn't understand the nature of anonymous posting. There are no Illini sports for the rest of the summer and the Cubs just lost 5 straight. How else are we to be entertained??

No mention of her in this article dealing with recruiting: www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-sports/2018-06-26/no-rest-tamas-illini-volleyball-busy-offseason.html Of course, Tamas isn't going to comment unless everything is cleared up.
