Is Stella Swenson likely to get offered a scholarship for 2024? And if so, wouldn't she be likely to take it?
I don't think it's that big of a deal to have a freshman setter start. Shaff has held her own. SSS went to final four. Kellie McNeil started a fair amount and had some success. Lindsey Berg was fantastic.

Our recruiting is the best it has been. Ok, but when will we see the results? I can get as doom and gloom about Gopher dry spells as the next MN fan, but they've been to the final four three of the past six seasons. One of the other years they won the B1G with 19-1 record and were upset in a tight match against Oregon in the sweet sixteen (when MN was #2) seed. The results are there, unless the only "result" that matters is a dynastic string of national titles. Trust me I'd love that, but MN has been an elite program the last decade. And it's not even B1G season yet in a year where they have a string of top recruits with a POY candiate playing together.

I do fear that with the athletes that they've had in the past, that they may have already missed their best opportunity for a title.

With ALL the present and incoming talent you don't think they can make a serious run at a title? Wucherer Hanson Choboy Booth Crowl Glenn Shaffmaster Landfair Wenaas Gray That's off the top of my head. C'mon man!

I can’t imagine she wouldn’t get a scholarship… we need a 24 setter and she is one of the best in the country.. and she’s local. But I have no idea if she wants to stay home or not.

You’ll ask for just two national championships once they get the first

I see her at the games. I believe if she is offered she will take it. I do wonder if it will be a package deal however.

Not a package deal although they aren’t opposed to playing together at all if the situation is right.

So the real reason I found this thread again is I’m looking for a current list of commits. Anyone want to lay one out for me?

I’m a little confused if Mandi Morioka decommitted… it isn’t in her bio, her recruiting videos are back up, she took down her commitment post, and doesn’t follow gophervb….

Our recruiting is the best it has been. Ok, but when will we see the results? 3 years -- just be patient. Remember, the Vikings haven't won any Superbowls either.

One or the other would likely be holding the other one back. In this case, I expect it would be Stella getting top offers over her twin sister. But who knows? What I do know is that it didn't work for the McNeil sisters (not to open a can of worms but I'm convinced Kellie went to SC because of coach change and the fact that Taylr wasn't offered a scholarship). It hurt both Kellie's collegiate career and the success of Minnesota.

This is why I didn't remove Morioka from the list (page 1 of Minnesota 2021 thread.) When she picks her new school I will remove her. I do think evidence supports the rumor that she decommitted. Not only social media, but moving Gray to DS/Lib and giving CC another year scholarship points to no DS/Lib coming in next year.

On another note, seems like the Gophers really have not had much luck with california kids lately, am I imagining things. Feels like the past half dozen or so have either transferred or decommitted.
