U AD gives Hugh a four year schollie:
Reported today in the Star Tribune:
Gophers volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2025 season, pending Board of Regents approval.
According to regents documents, the new deal would pay McCutcheon $515,000 for the recently completed season and $525,000 for next season with continued salary increases up to $565,000 in 2025.
McCutcheon's previous deal, signed in 2019, also called for him to make $515,000 this season, counting his base pay, supplemental pay and retention bonus. That deal covered four seasons, while the new one covers five seasons.
The Gophers finished 23-9 this season, making the NCAA regional final but losing to Wisconsin last Saturday for a trip to the Final Four.
Minnesota has been to Final Four three times since McCutcheon took over as their coach in 2012, going 26-9 in NCAA tournament games.

100% false - they aren't victims. They chose to come here.

No one on this board is a "victim" of criticism. It may not be easy to hear, but this is a forum where folks can offer their opinions freely and truthfully. Even the most diplomatic and kindest delivery of negative criticism can be hurtful. There's not need for deliberate disparagement of individuals. But trying to call something "victim blaming" for merely suggesting someone not read negative criticism of their volleyball ability/performance to avoid feeling bad about themselves is preposterous. 100% correct

Now let's see if he can really earn it, by getting Schaff to set the middles!

It's possible I'm very late to the party on this, but what resource to people use for evaluating top recruits/rankings of players in high school? Prep Volleyball historically has been my go-to, but they don't really do the senior aces ranking list anymore, do they? And their current "top 150" lists haven't been updated in over a year. Am I missing something? Where else are people looking to assess top recruits?

How many scholarships will the Gophers have available for 2024s? Who knows? Jenna Wenaas and Melani Shaffmaster are our two Juniors and I could imagine a situation where they are both offered another year. We must have at least one because CC will be done in 23, right?

what's the timeframe on 2024s beginning to commit? Is Stella Swenson a 2024? Is there any sense to where she is leaning?

Prep Dig is another site that just released 2024 rankings. If you have daughters that play, word travels fast regarding top talent. Watching gold bracket play in the Open division at most qualifiers will give you an indication of who has "it".

Right I was gonna say the same thing. So we are looking at anything between 1 to 3 scholarships open here. I think the Gopher will have to recruit a high level setter for sure regardless of Melani's 5th year decision.

I think most expect her to be a Gopher but you never know. She may want to get out of state.

Or MN is going after a better setter.

Does anyone know if it’s going to need to be a package deal? Or are both Swenson twins on their own recruiting journey.
