How's this team going to be this year? I know they're picked mid pack but will they surprise anyone and from the looks of the incoming recruits Bond has made the transition into a solid foundation. Will it be the year where they make the tournament?

How's this team going to be this year? I know they're picked mid pack but will they surprise anyone and from the looks of the incoming recruits Bond has made the transition into a solid foundation. Will it be the year where they make the tournament? I am feeling good about the upcoming season for the Hawks. Really solid on the pins and Brie Orr will be even more confident running the show with a year under her belt. I think we'll see an even more outward level of floor leadership from her in 2018. Even an intriguing option of running a 6-2 with setter Courtney "Baby" (6' 5") Buzzerio on the squad. Clearly the question marks are our middles (all 3 are Frosh) and libero (hard to replicate what Olsen did for us). But to your point about the quality of recruits Bond is bringing in, we have some good talent all around. I absolutely see the Hawks notching some nice wins this year. They came so close to some really signature victories last year (can hardly even force myself to think of how they squandered chances against both Iowa State and Illinois...I am confident that had they pulled out either of those, we would have gotten in tournament) so hoping they can apply what they learned from those losses this year and close the deal when they have the opportunity. PrepVB.com just recently included Iowa in their predictions about the teams that would make the NCAA tourney this year. Guess we will have to see how this all shakes out.

Sounds like Bond is interested in seeing Baby Buzz find her way on the court in a potential 5-2 but that seems to be a work in progress. Redshirt year this season?

Bond does a really good job at marketing his team. He definitely gives credit to his Seniors and the Iowa story that Coyle and Kelly have earned. I like to see him empasize positives like them, from walk on’s to scholarships for the local kids! Louis has an opportunity to help the Hawks do something special this year! #PointHawks

He also said Molly Kelly has earned starting libero spot with Johnston and Slagle being "groomed" for future. Good for Molly!!

Olsen was such a dynamic player to watch last season because she was just a defensive phenom, one of the best in the B1G. Kelly is going to bring her own flair to the role and I’m so excited to see her get her time to shine!

Anyone attend the Black & Gold Scrimmage today and have observations? Nice highlights video here. Just from short clips, looks like M. Buzzerio spent lot of time on the "A" side of the net. Bet it's a mighty competitive gym right now for that 2nd OH spot between Hughes, Hoye and Meghan B. Nice "problem" to have! Also, looks like Clayton and Jones may be emerging as top MBs. But again...all of this is only based upon clips from video so please take my observations with grain of salt...big time. Getting more and more excited for the season to get underway! GO HAWKS!!

Great article, but help me understand how she was able to play the whole season while not getting any credits (i.e. apparently not passing her classes). Isn't there a period in the season where they check on academic progress? I know you don't actually get a grade until the end of the semester, but I thought the midterms provided a guide.
