Do you know much about her? is part of one of the best club teams in the world through her Youth days and spent the year before last with their senior team as the back up and was playing against the best player in the world in practice everyday then she went on loan to a team in the second division that had a great season and ended up being promoted. I didn’t watch much of her but she had a good season from what I read and she practiced against some of the very best players in the world during her time with the senior team at ecza

Thanks, I got one year wrong - you have Damrow in '23, Chan and Shumacher in '24. Doesn't really change anything. Nebraska sits with at least 3 backrow players that can start at Libero at many other colleges. Two will not wear the Libero Jersey unless something happens to Libero starter Lexi Rodriguez who has at least two years eligibility left. I just looked at Penn State's roster for this upcoming 2023-24 season. They have 9 new players coming in...4 are Freshman who probably will not see much playing time for at least two years and the other 5 are Seniors or Grad Seniors. Their present roster already has 4 Seniors and 1 Senior+ and at least 3 DS/L players. That makes a total of 19 on their roster this fall. It sure doesn't appear "playing time" is a priority anymore for many volleyball players when it comes to the recruiting process. Unfortunately, I am leaning toward it being about $$$$$. Also, Wisconsin is going to have their fair share of players who will not be getting playing time this fall. Some haven't seen much for a year or two already. Not sure, if and when this is going to change. It’s like Russian history, “...and then it got worse.”

I remember Florida State used to get some Turkish players. And University of North Carolina had a Turkish libero back during their 2014 elite 8 season. And obviously GG is with Wisconsin as of last year.
It'll be interesting to see how how she compares.

Do you know much about her? I know nothing more than what I found on Instagram… but she reminds me A LOT of Choboy… she was also the libero in a match Wisconsin played against her Turkish team. Even if she doesn’t end up coming to MN, she looks like a great libero with a bright future.

These are supposedly the best 17's and 16's players in the country to represent us in the U19 tournament... I dunno if that's the clip I'd be putting out as "content" on the socials...

As much as I and many other Gopher fans would love to see this Turkish Libero become a Gopher, I cannot wrap my head around the scholarship count and see how this is even possible. There are 12 total for each Div 1 team and if all have been given out to the present team, that leaves two players without scholarships for this upcoming season already.
Murr will be gone in 2024 and sure hers could go to Zeynep next year. But where would they be coming from for the Swenson Twins? I cannot imagine these players like Grote. McGhie, Davis and Awoleye transferring here without scholarships being offered to them either. Then again, maybe I am wrong on the latter.

This is the era of NIL where wealthy boosters can openly pay for students athletes to play for their preferred college sports teams. Scholarship limits will soon be a thing of the past for schools with a big booster base.

I assume Mghie is not on a scholarship since she’s a back up setter… she became the back up to Turner on her Kansas team so I think the transfer was more of a lateral move to a better program… but I could be wrong as well
