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. Could be the weather

Could be the weather Buyers remorse: your young you make emotional decision, then you go about business : but friends talk, club coach says ; so and so called are you happy, etc, etc, etc, and suddenly Minny losses its emotional magic ! We aren’t to football/basketball yet : but we will be one day: especially now with NIL!!!!

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? 22: Julia Hanson, McKenna Wucherer, Mandi Morioka, Carter Booth 23: Syd Schnichels, Laney Choboy Think that's it as of now. Lots of great talent in that mix. Need a setter soooo bad unless we want Swenson as a frosh in 24.

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…. Pretty sure she did, not sure she would really get any playing time. Doubt she would start over 5th year CC. And Choboy is a top libero prospect probably in the whole country, she will almost certainly start in 23. Morioka either would have had to compete with Choboy or just accept being a D/S her whole career. She can start at Libero somewhere else.

Bayley is a senior. Somehow I doubt she will play another year. Minnesota will have to hit the transfer portal for a second setter next year. Hopefully the covid year will add a few more players in the portal next year. Unless... there is a player on the current roster who sets better than we know.

Not sure Hugh trusts Gray or Glenn as our primary DS. It sucks because like who wants to transfer here to sit behind Shaff on the bench for 2 years and probably never get to play…

On the positive side, Wucherer and Choboy looked great today in that U18 game. Choboy was passing very well and Wucherer looked pretty terminal. The first year without Samedy might be rough, but the combo of Landfair, Wenaas, Wucherer and Choboy will make Minnesota a good team over the next 4-5 years. Here’s to hoping Wolf or Booth or one of the middles turns out.

Erica Handley left Syracuse where she was the #1 setter to come to Minnesota (and back home - Lakeville) to basically not play for three years.

Good point - anyone know of any setters from MN who either aren’t starting or are just on a bad team? Those names might be thrown around for potential transfers. Coming home is a good draw especially if they might be looking at Grad school as we have some good programs.
