Allison will not be here in 2022 - I was responding to the post about 2022 recruits and I provided a snapshot of our 2022 roster. Ugh! Shouldn’t post in middle of super bowl. Very true!

Madi exhibits contagious spirit on and off the floor. With Carolyn Welsh and Morgan Obrien no longer in the backrow, might Madi see mucho playing time next season? This was one of my favorite moments at Huff Hall this season- Madi's first ace as an Illini, and an epic celly: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gPbm3A2ZD The on-court celebration was obviously awesome and check out the coaches and the home crowd in the background getting jazzed.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Illinois volleyball assistant coach Alfred Reft has been named the associate head coach at the University of San Diego, head coach Chris Tamas announced on Tuesday (Feb. 4). "Alfee has done a tremendous job for me, the players, and our program in his time here," said Tamas. "We first coached together in 2011-12 and had another great two years here at Illinois. We've become brothers. With your family, you support them in their goals and dreams. Alfee and his husband Ryan have a great vision of their future and they are moving to a place and program where they can continue that vision. The University of Illinois was fortunate to have Alfee for the last two seasons and I wish him nothing but the best in his future as a coach and as a person." Reft joined the Illinois volleyball coaching staff in the spring of 2018 and made an immediate impact on the team's floor defense and passing, helping to guide the Illini to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in his two years in Champaign, including helping to lead UI to the program's fourth-ever appearance in the NCAA National Semifinals as the No. 3 overall seed in the tournament. "I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the University of Illinois for the opportunity you provided for me in this special community that cares so deeply for Illini volleyball," said Reft. "I am especially grateful to head coach Chris Tamas and the entire Illinois volleyball program for an amazing two years growth and success. I truly value what we have built in my short time here and look forward to seeing the amazing things this program will continue to do in the future." A national search will begin immediately for the next Illinois volleyball assistant coach.
The previous statement was the announcement by the Illinois Athletic Department. Congratulations Coach Reft! You have been part of great things in your time with Illinois volleyball, and will never be forgotten. As a coach and a person, you represented the University so very well, and USD is lucky to have you. Finally for me, as an out, gay Illinois sports fan, I could not have asked for a better out, gay coach to be a positive role model to represent not only gay athletes and coaches, but all athletes and coaches. I am sure you and your family will be looking forward to relocating back to the Golden State. My one disappointment is the fear that Matthew Ryan will not be performing in the spring at the Station Theater in Urbana. My husband and I were really looking forward to seeing him perform.
