After an exciting and successful year, it's clear the future of Illinois volleyball is bright. We have an outstanding coaching staff, some excellent returning players and some very talented recruits committed to Illinois volleyball. While Poulter and Bastianelli will be missed, we have several key players returning. The first contact should be solid with all passers returning and all starting pin players return. Here's a look at the 2019 roster (not including any transfers):
OHJacqueline Quade, 6'1', Sr. (Indiana)
Beth Prince, 6'3", Sr. (Indiana)
Megan Cooney, 6'4", Jr. (Kansas)

Do Bruda and Allison join the team? Will other players transfer to Illinois? Does anyone transfer from the team? Does the team travel this summer? Discuss.
