Clobb, It doesn't look like a great Sr. Minnesota class. On the all-meteo team we have Maddie Whittington from Stillwater going to Illinois. Liz Helmich from Wayzata going to James Madison and Olivia Nagel from Mayer Luthern going to N. Iowa. Not sure about the out state ladies.

I'm making a prediction that Aadnna Rollins will transfer to Baylor next year.
Firstly: calm down. Secondly, IF she is seriously considering transferring, and if a factor is being "closer to home," as has been suggested on this board, Waco is less than two hours from Carrollton. She doesn't strike me as someone who is particularly interested in sitting after starting her first two years--which is a distinct possibility with Landfair and Wenaas coming in next year. Baylor is coming off being seeded #1 by the NCAA selection committee, and will return most of their starters, with the exception of senior OH Gia Milano.
Something to think on.
Edit:
Ummmm...after the regional MVP award and Baylor getting a great OH transfer, this three week-old post is already not aging well. But who knows.

She is ranked 16th over all. What setters are ranked higher? #6 is a setter going to Texas # 11 is a setter going to Long Beach State #12 is a setter going to Florida So she is the 4th ranked setter.

I would also take this with some context. From what I understand, Shaffmaster didn't exclusively set in high school and club, and that may have tempered some opinions on her as a pure setter recruit. I cannot comment on whether or not the other three were exclusively setters.

There will be a lot of "pressure" on Shaffmaster and the coaching staff. With no setters committed for the next 4 years, there is a lot riding on her performance.

Idea for 2020:
Miyabe at OPP Samedy 6-ro MB (playing next to Miyabe, running combo plays)
Thoughts?
(I really want to see both of them on the floor!)

I could've sworn there was a "future of MN" thread but I searched for it and didn't find it. People get a little prickly if you mention anything beyond the current season in the regular team thread and I enjoy speculating on future seasons. In particular, with how well the team is doing this season and the fact that we're losing only one impact player next year (SSS will be an enormous loss, however), what do people think of what it will look like if/when Sara Neilsen takes over setting next year? From what I've seen in the few glimpses this year, she serves well, but her sets were a bit suspect. Obviously it's not going to be as dynamic as Sam, but if this year's team ends up going really far in the tournament and we return 7 of our 8 regular players, it would be so unfortunate to not do well next year. I have a feeling Hugh may put feelers out for a senior transfer (see Carico in 2009). I could see the senior transfer idea happening. Nielsen is fine but I agree that her setting overall is maybe not the best match for the style of offense that Hugh likes to run. I do think that given a longer period of playing time, we would see Nielsen's setting improve or even out. She's a fine player but we still have a pretty small sample size. I don't see McMenimen (the other setter on the roster) seeing playing time as a setter, or even a DS. Nothing against her, but nothing has indicated that she is ready to play at this level. Tl:DR - having an incoming upperclassmen setter transfer could make sense. This comment did not age well, lol. Props to Bayley!

Moving a multiple time All American to basically a whole new position to accommodate Miyabe just doesn’t make sense. Plus, that limits the ball control. With the pins Minnesota is bringing in, unfortunately you can’t have all of them play

Pages 7,8, and 11 of this thread list our 2021 and 2022 commits, but I'm not sure of rankings.
