Would Ndiaye ever come home? She seems to be tearing up this year with the coaching change. i'd imagine she likes being a 6ro pin. that wouldnt happen at texas i dont think. her defense is easily exploitable. alfee has given her the green light and he's quite literally a USA assistant so i kinda doubt she'd leave that situation. maybe though. |

she came to kentucky because she wanted to play on the pins.... then she coudlnt crack the depth chart over the skinners and stumler and rutherford and dipped and thrived at the position she said she didnt wanna play lmao but whatever |

Did Kentucky just not see her as a middle? That's been a weak position for them too. she came to kentucky because she wanted to play on the pins.... then she coudlnt crack the depth chart over the skinners and stumler and rutherford and dipped so she wanted to be a pin for kentucky but is perfectly fine being a middle for... georgia? |

IDK if I would want Londot. (LOL, like it's up to me) She's super hot-and-cold. Luckily we've played her so much she's a known quantity to the coaching staff. Rutherford, on the other hand. . . Not sure if Martin would enter the portal. She seems happy at Florida, the team was firing on all cylinders before Stucky's injury. Sophie Fischer is also on my wish list Londot is averaging 4.86 kills per set, 2.5 digs per set, and is passing over a 2. she's an incredible option. i really dont see rutherford entering the portal from kentucky but i guess crazier things have happened. fischer would be #1 on my list though if she were to enter the portal. granted, she's already transferred once. she might like the freedom georgia gives her. hell, i wouldnt be surprised if they found a way to have her on the court as a 6ro middle next season I know people are probably manifesting Lauenstein, but I’m manifesting Londot entering the portal and landing in Texas. She experienced the full potential of Gregory last season. That inspired Fleck to eventually come to Texas, so maybe the same for Londont? People are also mentioning Fisher, but we have three (young) MBs for the 2024 season, would we need another one? But with her experience and performance this year, adding a seasoned MB wouldn’t hurt either. She’ll be a Fleck 2.0 (in terms of going to a 3rd school to play). |

She can go off, or she can error a lot. What does the kills per set stat look like when you focus on the top-25 opponents? Would be interested to know. around 4.38 kps, but the hitting percentage takes a hit of course. but for perspective, she's taken over 200 more swings this season than madi. can't imagine she'd be forced into that many swings with texas |

Maybe she saw the writing on the wall herself |

Idk what happened but I am 100 percent sure she came to kentucky bc the staff said she could be a pin but if she's willing to play middle for georgia, i'd imagine she wouldve been willing to play middle for kentucky, just with the promise and hope she could still train as a pin sometimes for when they dont have so many exceptional pins. kinda just sounds like UK had no intentions of playing her at any position long term lol |

I'm glad she blossomed at georgia, but she wasn't playing near that level in Kentuckys gym. it would've been a poor coaching decision to play over any of those 3 during her time at Kentucky |

Confirm me folks, the Fall 2024 volleyball season will be the last year for non-redshirt COVID bonus seniors, right? I’m pretty sure the freshmen class of 2020 is the last class for Covid19 consideration. None starting with the 2021 class. |

Before we got Ames to flip, I was hoping we would maybe look at the MB from Florida State. Not sure if she has another year left but I know she's a senior and was (at one point) leading the nation in efficiency.
