Love your insights from watching practice, JT. However, I'm curious how you have this access?

Love your insights from watching practice, JT. However, I'm curious how you have this access? More dollars than sense. There was a “Coaches Circle” camp this weekend for a select group of people who had the privilege of watching the team, and hearing from coaches and administrators about the program, and about athletics issues in general... subject to the rules they still have to follow regarding (for example) recruit info. It ran Saturday from 7:30a to about 6:00p, and Sunday from 6:30a (weight training) to about 6:00p. My insights are probably not that insightful, but even for the ones which might be, we all pinky-swear to not divulge what goes on in the practice, except as generalities. We also are asked to not take pictures, or if we do, to not share them on social media. And while we got a quick tour of the almost-completed performance center, we were told -absolutely- no pictures there.

To anyone going to the scrimmage, I guess pay attention to Airi at OPP at certain points?

I also found it interesting that he mentioned Miyabe looking strong on the right side and in the same breath as Samedy also. Later he confirmed that Miyabe is an outside hitter, position-wise, but has been getting some time on the right too. She will be an exciting player to follow!

Another way to interpret that comment is Hugh likes her swinging. Is Samedy currently the only OPP on the roster?

Miyabe was one of the most impressive new players I saw last weekend. Lots of things to love about her game, especially her defense.

Tapp for Tapp trade for USA volleyball (for the moment), to use the Pav PA parlance.

Why isn't Morgan in the picture of the team with the trophy?

I wouldn’t look too much into her not being in the picture. She just posted a picture on Instagram yesterday with excitement for the 1st game.

Just got an email from the U that the home match against Wisconsin has been moved to Thursday, November 14. I bet it's going to be on BTN, if they'd ever release their schedule.

Aug. 24 Open Scrimmage Timeline 2:30 p.m. Doors open 2:45 p.m. Warmups begin 3:30 p.m. Scrimmage Begins I noticed threads from other teams on the scrimmage. I thought maybe we could share here instead. Do we want a scrimmage thread?
