2018 Spring Roster
I think this will answer the question about Leath and all the other health issues. Leath, Scoles, Hull, Fradenburg, Fields, Laufenburg, Evans, and the two new recruits are all on the roster that was just posted for spring training.

Not really. Scroll to bottom of roster and read the list of coaches. Still has Eve, Tyler and Gavin.

Usually when UNC has a player leaving, they immediately update roster. Moseman was gone and the day after her name was off the roster. Glad she is listed once again. Does anyone actually know the time restraint on transferring?

One option is to transfer after the end of Spring semester. It's possible to transfer even after summer school sessions.

No one is going anywhere. That’s my thought seeing that this team is poised to make noise the next few years on a larger stage. You know....barring injury

For someone in Leath's position, the basis for the transfer would be that she has graduated and is enrolled in a graduate program at a different school while still having college eligibility. www.collegefreeagent.com/ncaa.php If the player has not graduated, she's not free to play for the other school. Once she graduates, she can play for the other school so long as she is within the 5 year window from first enrollment and has not had her scholarship renewed by the school of origin. If a player intends to graduate but hasn't graduated yet, it doesn't make sense for either the player or the school to announce it until the player has graduated for sure, because the fallback is for the player to stay at her old school. That's the reason I asked whether or not she's been participating at practices. Whether Leath comes back or not, the bigger question is first and second contact. My feeling was that after Fradenburg was injured, UNC's backrow was less reliable than their opponents' backrows. For whatever reason, I keep thinking about the Florida State match where UNC had a big lead in set 3 and the FSU libero made two spectacular digs in a row off of Nordhorn. My take was, "UNC doesn't currently do that sort of thing."I felt the passing was inconsistent as well and that neither setter was especially good at turning out of system balls into something more playable. One result was that the team couldn't sustain runs and was vulnerable to runs on the other side when UNC simply couldn't get the ball in play. Those things have to be fixed for the team to reach its potential. Having Scoles back will certainly help with that, but the setters and back row will need to keep developing. I do think the potential's there. I also happen to feel that the injuries weren't the only factor last year. Precision was a big problem, especially on the road.

Thanks for the clarification on transfer rules and eligibility. I highly agree with your assessment. We had firepower last year but serve receive limited its usage. I think that Fradenburg was a very good libero and Hough could have been but I don’t think Sagula didn’t really trust her til the end of the season. I think that injury caused a lot of mental pressure and that played with precision and accuracy as well as smart decision making. We have 5 DS players that are getting a lot of training this spring and summer and the setters will hopefully have more to work with. There is a lot to work with and a lot of potential for this team.

They say that good defense wins games. Of course a strong offense is a necessity but as you probably already know: a scrappy team made up of shorties with great defensive skills can give a taller team with less defensive skills a run for their money, potentially wearing down & frustrating the hitters. It's surprising to me how many teams put such focus on the front row with (what seems to be) little regard to their back row. Fast, intuitive defensive players should be regarded more highly at the college level than they currently are. So it seems from the outside anyway.

I would agree with this, but it's also true that a fast intuitive outside who happens to be 6"3" will generally be more effective than a fast intuitive outside who's 5'9". In volleyball, you're seldom moving more than 4 steps, so reach trades off for speed much of the time. Just divide the court's total area by 6.
The taller player will also have a greater volume of space to operate in, because that player can contact the ball higher and earlier. The shorter player will have to move to the spot to contact the same ball and that neutralizes the quickness or instinct advantage.
So, yes a small quick team can beat a big slow one, but many tall athletes are also quick and intuitive too.

If I’m being honest, North Carolina has always had an issue with its back row defense. Unc has normally had a very good front row and strong offense. However, your offense depends on the defense and prevents other teams from easily stringing runs together. Because we are such a good blocking team, UNC has struggled with defense behind the block in my opinion. In some games I literally feel the back row isn’t able to predict where the ball is going because of wierd touches or radical angles around the block and the defensive players just don’t make the attempt they should. There are years that we have had great liberos: Gibson, Tanner, Doyle come to mind, but they were also leaders and very intuitive. If North Carolina wants to take a step closer and push towards a Final Four, they have to do something better on the defensive end. I think that we have not really had anyone to work on defensive development and I hope more emphasis would be put there. The potential is there to be successful.

When my one of my daughters (a senior ace libero) was looking at UNC we were told they “theoretically” had scholarship money for a defender but that they hadn’t actually had to pay for a libero in years because girls were willing to walk on. Perhaps putting a little scholarship money out there for defenders would help attract a top level player and shore up the back row. Even a 2/2 would make it more affordable for out of state kids.

I am still shocked some schools are offering 4 year scholarships to liberos. A good libero can impact the game a ton. I don’t see why offering 1 4 year scholarship to a defensive player every 2 years would be an issue

Per twitter Taylor Leath is joining the staff of Chapel Hill Volleyball Club for this season. Either this means she is staying put at UNC or she has free time with the rumored personal training before she makes a move. Spoke with some yesterday who indicated she was staying put but I hope to see about that this week to confirm or put rumors to rest
Fully agree that UNC needs to invest in a scholarship for future top prospects. A libero is a way underrated position. Needed to really keep teams running efficiently.
