Anywhere know where Schnichels ranks nationally in 23 recruits? Is she highly sought after? This team is starting to look good for the future, just need a setter commit for 23 and maybe a middle. Choboy should be a great libero. Don't know her national ranking but she was one of the 75 invited for the NTDP in Anaheim back in July. Do they need a 23 Setter or can they wait until 24 and get Stella Swenson (if she's interested)? They will only have Shaffmaster on the roster next years…

I guess they could go that route and get a transfer, but not sure who would want to transfer in to sit behind a Junior/Senior setter.

No - however, I believe very few players will be taking that extra year. They will graduate and want to get on with their lives. There will be no scholarship for them like there is for this year and I would hope covid will be under control so traveling overseas to play professionally will be more appealing. But hear is the biggest issue
YOU CAN'T HAVE JUST ONE SETTER ON THE ROSTER.
So Shaff's covid year does not effect our need for a setter.

So Shaff's covid year does not effect our need for a setter. True it doesn't affect the need for a setter but it does affect WHO that setter might be. Some players may not want to have to sit for a year if they can play somewhere else right away, while others might be content to wait it out.

I don’t think setter is a position where you want a freshman coming in and having to play right away. You could say that for any of them, but connections and training take time. I’d love them to get a 2023 that can be ready to hit the floor but not have the pressure to do so.

How the COVID year is working is that IF the coach/staff want to give them a scholarship for that 5th year they can. So Shaff is able to play a 5th year and if the staff wants to give her a scholarship they can. But they will only have 12 full scholarships and they will have to choose. It all depends on their priorities and who they have promised scholarships to.

Swindle goes with Texas… Minnesota’s setting options for after Shaff are getting VERY thin. Not many high-quality setters left for 23 that I know of… so we’re looking at 24 for a setter and trust them as a true frosh.. unless we get a transfer (which we will have to, or Shaff will have no backup)

I'm wondering if picking up a 5th (Covid) year setter thinking about grad school will work out for Minnesota. There has to be a few of them out there that could be our other setter after McMenimen graduates. I'm not surprised Swindle went with Texas.

Someone is talking about a program having a Freshman setter coming into a program and immediately starting, if it is such a great idea or not. Both SSS and Shaffmaster started their Freshman seasons. We all know how that has gone for both of these players.
Other programs appear to have no problem recruiting top notch setters with very capable backup setter(s). Why are we even talking about this situation at Minnesota? IMO our recruiting just is not where it needs to be IN ALL POSITIONS and could be on the downslide. Or are we seeing a misjudgment of talent in our recruits?

Our recruiting is the best it has been. There were a few really good years with Hebert but not as consistently good as we are seeing now. Downslide - no. I think its good to review how tough it is to recruit to Minnesota. It is not geographically in the middle, its not on the coast, its not warm.... Luckily its a very good school with a great coaching staff. The fan base used to be considered one of the best; maybe that's the part that's on the downslide, lol.
