That’s an impressive video. Just watched Minn crush South Dakota. Any updates from the IOWA state only tournament? Only finding that Iowa St defeated the Hawks 2-1 (25-13, 15-25, 15-11). Not sure how things went against UNI and Drake. To me, this is promising, given we have a very limited spring roster.

Wow. That must be the 17th player talked about. Imagine would have to be a walkon. Don’t think they have a scholarship available.
I heard Iowa beat UNI 3-0 and beat Drake 2-1.

I don’t have a report this time, but like I’ve said before, I would love to see this as a regular fall scheduled tournament - it’d be great for the state of Iowa volleyball.

I heard Toyosi Onabanjo (what a cool name) is playing very well on the right side. If she can match Buzzerio’s production on the RS that would help this team big time.

It would really help the Iowa volleyball program if the Press Citizen would provide some coverage of recruiting and spring volleyball. Not sure what they do for fall volleyball coverage, but I see nothing about new recruits and spring games. Except on the UI website.
NIL opportunities are a big deal for respective recruits. So is fan support. I don't see the local IC press giving any support to the women's VB team. Am I missing something?
Iowa is a very liberal campus, high on women's issues. Why so little support for women's volleyball? Its extremely popular with IA HS SAs. NE has recruited at least 2 All American players from IA. There has to a lot of potential VB fans in IA.
I really think the Press Citizen needs to step up. Maybe I'm missing something. Although I am an UI alum, not an active one. Also from IC area, but have been gone from IA for 35 yrs.

Losing forever and having WI MN NE Purdue in your backyard does not help recruiting. Not to mention Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois and Michigan State being second tier big ten teams doesn't help either. Considering Iowa HS VB produces one outstanding player per year Eckerman, Foecke, May, Kubik, Carter it isn't like there are a plethora of equal levels of talent left over to recruit. The other top players in Iowa the past few years are on their 2nd or 3rd transfer.

Seems like an undeveloped resource. When I talk volleyball to my IA relatives, they think that is strange. So the fan base is not there, but seems something worth developing. My granddaughters like playing it. It is popular with many girls. Just saying there should be interest.

It is the best sport on the planet to watch for the fan and I agree there should be more interest. There could be more interest generated in Iowa but I don't know how you do that. The new venue can only be a plus. Generally, Kelly Sheffield cant be the only one shouting about the fact only 19% of NCAA games are being televised. It is a disgrace. VB needs a national television stage. Given all the years of club travel and the numbers we see in high school increasing I cannot believe there isn't a market for it.

You act like it’s a secret and Iowa is in uncharted waters. . . The solution is how Nebraska built their program-copy it. The key is how Iowa, the state, built interest in girls/womens basketball-replicate it. Iowa and Iowa State should be playing at least one match every spring at different locations in the state. The state of Iowa has elite high school volleyball talent-too bad most of that talent leaves the state. Sitting back and feigning confusion about the state of college volleyball in Iowa is sort of comical. Just look to the west, the blueprint is not being hidden from any one.

"The state of Iowa has elite high school volleyball talent" Agree to disagree on that- "most of that talent leaves the state" agree on that

I can't say this would work for Iowa, but in Nebraska Terry Pettit built the program in part by building relationships with in state High School and club coaches. He did many coaching clinics to improve the quality of in state players and build relationships with the coaches, helping him to gain some advantage when it came time to recruit the players.

I agree on this big time. There is a lot of news coming out of Iowa per their website and social media but no local/state news. Suppose that won’t change until the wins come. I’ve heard and seen the staff out everywhere so I’m sure they are working on building those strong Iowa relationships. Not sure how many wins that will translate into this first year but it’s pretty clear there is strong optimism in Iowa City. And in my opinion a sleeping giant.
