Ugh. Maybe she can come back next season? would you want her!? Yes. And we will be thin on the left next year too.

Yes. And we will be thin on the left next year too. It seems like a lot of teams are replacing left sides after this year.

Wisconsin: Two fifth years Texas: two fifth years Florida: one or two fifth years Penn state: two fifth years Pitt: one fifth year Louisville: two fifth years Oregon: one fifth year

Interesting to see Acevedo commit to MN! I wonder how much playing time she’ll get.
When do we think the Ducks will drop their schedule? When does Big 10 normally release?

Acevedo transfers to Minn. Not even a guaranteed start there, as they have Hanson/Wucherer and Grote on OPP and other pin options, but she reunites with Thibault who also is heading there. Looking forward to the Minn/Oregon game even more now this season! Ugh. Maybe she can come back next season? Wonder if any player has transferred from a program to return the following year lol

Yes. And we will be thin on the left next year too. Could always add another graduate student, but will have 4 OH options still in 2025: Colyer SR, Gregoire R-So, Tvrdy R-Fr/So (listed as OH/MB), and Bell Fr. Thin, but might be fine. Will have two Opp still too, and one may be able to switch to OH if needed: Glover Jr, Gould R-Fr/So. I'm more curious how Setter will play out considering we will have 4 planned on the roster for 2025, and how the L role will play out if we don't get a transfer next year, especially if Bell needs to step into the role. I do feel Gregoire and Patterson can help the backrow though, so may be fine.

I do feel Gregoire and Patterson can help the backrow though, so may be fine. Some walk-ons can contribute, but not every walk-on is a viable player in the Big Ten. Tvrdy is a middle - she's not gonna play left for us, and I believe Bell is more likely to contribute in the back row early in her career, as we'll lose both Morris and McClellan. We'd be at 2.5 OH (depending on whether Bell slots at L/OH) and 1 viable OPP. Will definitely need more depth on the pins. We're running thin this year thanks to the late departure.

2025 at this point:
OH: Colyer SR, Gregoire R-So, Bell Fr (also DS/L option) MB: Neal RS-Sr, Tvrdy So (also OH option), Thrower So, Cogill Fr (also OPP option) OPP: Glover Jr, Gould So S: Cline RS-So, Purashaj Sr, Mitchell Fr (also pin option), Mogridge Fr (also OPP option) L/DS: Patterson RS-So, Gamache So, De Los Reyes Sr
I definitely see the benefit of us adding a graduate/transfer OH and libero though.

Gregoire, Patterson, Gamache, Gould, and Mitchell all local. Not sure if all will be walk-ons and/or likely will end up being starters or not, but all capable of seeing playing time.

Acc to Pitt's schedule just released, they are coming to Oregon Aug 30th. That will be a nice home game to look forward to.

In a video posted in the Minnesota thread, Acevedo suggests she left Oregon because it wasnt a fit for her, and she liked Keegan Cook's culture/principles, so she chose there. She added she loves all the Oregon staff though. Yeah I always kind of got the sense watching her at Oregon that she wasnt really enjoying it. Shows that committing at 13 was just too young at the time. Wish her the best.

Announced schedule so far: Week 1: Pitt/Long Beach @ home Week 2: @ Colorado St., Grand Canyon, Central Arkansas Week 3: TBD Week 4: @ Portland St., vs Oregon St. I'd bet we don't venture far in Week 3. Maybe another home tourney?

I get now wanting to go far, but is it okay to schedule weak considering all the competition in conference play. Wonder how RPI will play out.

I get now wanting to go far, but is it okay to schedule weak considering all the competition in conference play. Wonder how RPI will play out. Only one top 10 match, but should actually be very solid for RPI, assuming Central Arkansas gets it together. Beach, CSU, GCU, PSU should all put up winning seasons. I believe there's another Top 25 opponent in Week 3 too. Probably a good way to start out given the new lineup time to gel and build confidence. And at least we don't have a road trip of death, which we for some reason did to ourselves the last two times we graduated a bunch of starters.

The Minnesota thread seems to expect the gophers schedule either this Friday or next Monday. I hope that means Ducks schedule will be out then too, since they are in the same conference now! Last year Ducks released the schedule the last week of June, I think.
