Joe has proven over a long period of time to be a great guy who wants his players to be successful and happy. My comment wasn’t to be anything against Joe, just that some players may have liked the assistants a lot more. It does happen. They are, after all, the first relationship that a psa has with a program.

Well and just the overall sense of any head honcho of almost any endeavor: the head guy is usually the one who holds the whole thing together. Oftentimes in sports I suspect the head guy is the go between for the athletes to the administrative part of things. That guy (or gal) may not be well known, may be more of a speaker head at times to the athletes who do have more face time with the ACs vs the head guy.
My own very limited take on things anyway

Since Louisville is in the ACC, I highly doubt they would be eligible immediately without sitting out a year.

Most coaches grant releases. Isn't it rare if they don't release an athlete.

It's unusual not to release a player, but it does happen. iirc, Briana Holman had to sit a year after going from LSU to Nebraska, because LSU did not release her. It worked out well for her anyway. There are probably some others.
IT's pretty common for coaches to not release for an in conference transfer and sometimes ooc teams on their schedule for the next year.

Often a coach’s hands are tied with an intra-conference transfer because of conference rulesRelease or not. Andi Malloy transferred after her freshman year from Iowa State to Baylor. Per media reports, she was just plain unhappy at Iowa State. Nothing against the team or coaches, but the state school life so far away from home just didn’t agree with her. She wanted something closer to home, smaller, and religious. Baylor fit the bill. CJL is on the record about it also. She tried to appeal to the Big 12 so Malloy could play immediately, but the conference wouldn’t bend and Malloy had to sit.

Do they have full releases? I think Louisville has a scholarship available. I count 9 that will be on the 2018 roster that won’t be freshmen. Do you know how many of the incoming freshman are gonna he on scholarship? I know they’re bringing in a girl from Jamaica, but there are a few more recruits just don’t know if they are on scholarship or not

No one is going to Louisville or anywhere else in the ACC. Those schools are not any the current transfers are looking at. If I had to guess, they will go closer to home or to teams they already have friends connected to.
Atherton has been announced but the other transfer is a Middle/OPP should be announced or official by next week.

I wasn't sure if the last one has been allocated.

In the sport of volleyball, you do not need to sit out a year if you transfer, assuming the school gives them their release. However, some conferences have transfer rules separate from the NCAA whereas they don't allow someone to transfer within conference without sitting out.

She tried to appeal to the Big 12 so Malloy could play immediately, but the conference wouldn’t bend and Malloy had to sit. Interesting story, I had not heard the details. A few links, the text is humorous in her Baylor Bio, she actually enrolled at Baylor without even being allowed to talk to the coaches as she did not have a release, took that year off without a scholarship. www.baylorbears.com/sports/w-volley/spec-rel/090613aab.html"Although she tried to talk her out of her decision, Johnson-Lynch ultimately said, "I feel that she made the right decision. And it's hard to say that, because you want to keep everyone you can. But if they're miserable or if they're unhappy, then it's not going to work out." If it was strictly up to Johnson-Lynch, who Barnes described as "really classy," Malloy would have received an unconditional release and been able to play immediately at Baylor. But Iowa State's athletic department has a rule that the school will not release any student-athlete to another Big 12 school." Baylor Bio: www.baylorbears.com/sports/w-volley/mtt/andie_malloy_863474.html2013 (SOPHOMORE) Transferred to Baylor from Iowa State and was forced to sit out both the fall and spring semesters due to Big 12 transfer regulations But, sorry for the interruption, back to UNC now.

A very young team remains. I think the most experienced returning player is now Casey Jacobs, a senior who was in the rotation mostly as a service specialist her sophomore year and who started at libero for about 2/3 of her junior year. Laufenberg is also a senior, but she's had injury issues that kept her from playing more than a few matches in any season. The next most experienced player appears to be Esterly or Kendra Koetter. There is no player who is in for all rotations or at least most of them who happens to be returning. It's going to be an interesting challenge for the players and the staff. Someone or some ones will need to step up and into the leadership void.
It's a fascinating opportunity, should someone seize it.

I think it will be very interesting where the players are placed. So many of the current players and incoming freshmen and transfers can play multiple positions. I know Sagula is going to want at least one 6 rotation player. My thoughts is that Ava Bell is being trained to be a 6 rotation opposite and that the pins will be freshmen duo of Cox and Harrison with a DS subbing in. The middle will be Esterly and then not sure who else gets that spot. Clark, Laufenburg, LaGarde and the other transfer can also multiple positions. Joe may have a lot of options for each piece of the puzzle. A lot depends on if he lets Atherton run a 5-1. I guess the foreign tour and preseason will aid this.

It's certainly going to be interesting and challenging. There is no returning player who has ever had 15 kills in a college match. No backrow player who has had 30 digs in a match. I think Atherton did have 40+ assists in each of her two matches as a starter. It's a highly unusual combination of a very unproven group of players with a very experienced head coach. I think one big measure of success in the season will be how much stronger the team is at the end of the year compared to the beginning, especially on the road.

Fradenburg is back and she’s pretty solid. 30 digs in a match is not the easiest to achieve. Looking at DPS might be a better way to tell. Mia had 4.61 DPS in her time on the court before injury took her out
