Anyone have any eyes or insight into practice and how people look?

I'm missing the Huff Hall atmosphere this fall. Hope we can get back in there to see Illini volleyball sometime soon!

If this winter does bring an increase in covid cases, that might contribute to a mask mandate for volleyball games come January. It’s encouraging that the early covid uptick UIUC experienced this semester has tempered a bit lately.

Just saw former Illinois DS, Emmaline Walters playing today for LSU. I’m reminded that part of the reason our bench is so thin at DS is Emmaline transferring and Lexie Smith retiring in 2019. I’m looking forward to seeing how our current DS/L have developed under Eli Sharping’s guidance. It’s cool they’ve gotten so much more preseason practice than usual.
Recently on the Michigan 2020 thread, it was pointed out that Natalie Smith, Michigan’s starting libero from 2019, is no longer on their roster but has eligibility remaining (technically two years, I think). I wonder if an intraconference transfer to Illinois could be a fit. Chris and Jen Tamas coached Natalie’s older sister, Brooke while at Nebraska, so there’s a familial connection.

Is she injured? She had a horrible injury in high school but played great her senior season.

Is she injured? She had a horrible injury in high school but played great her senior season. I've had that same question, too, ever since alt posted this a few weeks ago: "I think maddie got surgery again." Hopefully they take their time and don't try to rush her back if that's the case.
