Iowa sweeps Indiana??? OK, fire him now. Mind-boggling that he got extended. Through 2029! Also, this is year SEVEN with Indiana (and his best player is graduating). I think Aird quitting Maryland after two (maybe three?) seasons for the Indiana gig was something he'll regret his entire career. I think he got a reputation for himself that he isn't willing to stick things through, and his recruiting at IU hasn't been anywhere near what it was at Maryland. He was really turning Maryland into a competitive team in the B1G quickly, and all of that crash and burned. Such a silly move, he couldn't just gone for something even more competitive like the Notre Dame gig in a few years if he'd just kept building MD and showed some dedication to the program. |

Did Jager de-commit? I don't see her on rich.kern. No. She posted on Instagram today with the official signing. Jager (IMO) is similar in value coming into college as Eva Hudson. Vinson has some major medical issues - if those go away she is among the top 2 or 3 RS's in the class. I doubt Indiana has had two recruits like this coming in together. They are already a good team - seems like their best years are coming in the very near future. |

We’ll see if Aird can punch his first tourney ticket at IU with some of the next couple of classes. |

#198 UL-Lafayette up 1-0 on #41 GA Southern
This is the last match of the season for the Cajuns as they will not qualify for their conference tournament. A very cool moment came tonight for Cami Hicks. She needed 4 blocks to take over the program record for blocks. It looked to be a tall task against one of, if not the best team in the Sun Belt.
She had 5 blocks in the first set and they take the set!

Georgia and Tennessee are tied 1-1 and Georgia is up 19-15 in the third set. Who knows what is an upset against Tennessee this year, but Georgia has a very losing record overall and in conference.
