So... question for discussion. Is Carolina a desirable volleyball destination or a stepping stone for high caliber players to use as a showcase in order to transfer to more elite programs? In the past few years... 2017 ---- Sydnye Fields - Texas A&M (ultimately quit this season) Taylor Borup - Oregon Holly Carlton - Florida 2018 ---- Ava Bell - Tennessee 2019 ---- Lauren Harrison - Baylor I didn't include Scoles as that was a medical-based transfer to play beach... Thoughts? Actually you are incorrect about Fields. She did not quit. She medically retired. I follow her on twitter and she retweeted a tweet from Texas A&M student athletes services where they had a ceremony honoring the upcoming graduates for December 2019. She was pictured with a volleyball student athlete stole and recently posted on her instagram about how her hip and knee injuries caused her to ultimately have surgery this year and stop playing.

For those interested... Sophie Fischer commits to Kentucky.
Didn’t see that coming...

Sad to see the creator of this thread and big fan of UNC volleyball deleted from VT I'm surprised. Does anyone know what's up? Did he delete his own account of did he run afoul of the VT admins?

bll10 was on the VT top 25 voter committee as an ACC conference representative. This seemed to be rather sudden and by his choice because he never was confrontational with anyone and provided great updates on UNC and many other ACC teams.

I seemed to have remembered some posts that made me raise my eyebrow a bit and had to go look a little. From one of the last pages 2019 thread…wonder if he is just covering his butt by deleting his membership… …and the Joe bashing went on from there…I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion buuuuuuuuutttt…

So- we have a whole new team for spring. No more seniors or Lagarde, no Atherton or Harrison, but a brand new Phegley and Merkler. The roster has been halfway updated but some players are still there, some removed. That’s some fire power in the middle and some holes on the outside. Spring should be fun!

Sorry guys...... I am bll10.....My laptop was stolen over Christmas and all my social media accounts and my volleytalk account were deleted by the perpetrator. had nothing to do with posts. they tried to get my account back up but couldnt. So now I am starting over from scratch....yay. From All American back to freshmen Anyway....glad to be back. Atherton is gone due to some issues between her and coaching...as theallstar said, this team has firepower but a great need for some better setting. We also definitely need some OH transfers for depth.

I hope you're able to recover it. That's a shame about Atherton. I wonder if it was her choice or if she was asked to leave. Either way I hope she does well should she choose to continue her volleyball career.

It was Atherton's choice but the coaches also were not disappointed according to what I was told due to her being "less than coachable." But that leaves us w just Anabelle in the spring

Just had a peek at last years roster,,, that makes. 8 of the 18 players graduating, transfered, injuries or out. Indeed looks to be a rebuild / recruitment year - but that’s ok. The core is good to build around that.

I would not be surprised to see Cox tested again on the left side....or Merkler playing OH. Merkler has a hammer of an arm is very versatile....reminds me of Ava Bell a lot. As good as Tontai became as well as Howard, I think Phegley and Merkler may be testing the pins.
