We all know where Mullen is going. . . Where is that Dream Team camp she’s going to?

Looks like Iowa is bringing Bailey Ortega and Delaney McSweeney to B1G Media Days. I just saw that. Two Iowa girls with great stories. They both will have to play big this year. They were impressive in the spring scrimmage.

Interesting that Illinois coach Chris Tamas will be at Adrenaline volleyball club in Cedar Rapids as a guest coach for their elite prospect camp. 2025 OH Chloe Meester plays for that club and will garner high interest in June. Coach Becker (Aubrey) will also be there. I mentally bookmarked this post awhile back for Illinois reasons. Do you happen to know if that camp has taken place yet? I'm trying to cobble together intel on which outside hitter(s) the Illini might be targeting. Are there obvious positions the Hawks are actively recruiting in the 2025 class?

I'm not sure when that camp is/was, either. My best guess as to the Hawks' biggest recruiting need as of now for 2025 class would be middles.

Without knowing who was actually there & going off who plays for the club, my guess would be Chloe Meester. They also have a lefty Opp who has really developed this year, Sydney Maue. Her best volleyball seems to be ahead of her.

I'm curious to see if the McGrew commitment helps on the recruiting front. She played for Gainesville Juniors before moving to Oklahoma. Some other prospects Iowa is after congratulated her on the announcement. I believe her dad is on the OU football staff.

They likely were going after Meester but she is headed far from home. Hawks need a Leftside and Middle. McGrew was a great start!! Looks like most players are waiting until after nationals to make a decision. I suspect July 10-20 we will see a bunch of commitments across the board.

Hoping there will be a write-up soon on hawkeyesports.com that spotlights/welcomes the six 2023 newcomers/signees who haven't already been featured in a story like this one below from last November on Worden, Mateo and Deery. Not only is it a nice touch and "feel good" for the new players, it also creates awareness about what is happening with the volleyball program with Hawkeye fans who may only primarily go that site to follow other Iowa sports. hawkeyesports.com/news/2022/11/11/volleyball-adds-3-for-2023/

I count 5. 3 other freshmen and 2 transfers. It looks like all of them moved in this weekend for summer school. Really interested in hearing more about Rosa Vesty from New Zealand. Must have been a long flight!

Must have been a long flight! 3 transfers: Buettner, Hanson and Moravec I realize Buettner came for spring but don't believe she ever was featured in one of these "official" write-ups on the website, unless I missed it.

Team is back this week & looks like media pictures are starting to show up on Instagram. I got an email regarding season tickets today with a brief message from Coach Barnes discussing the roster, number of home matches, etc. Not a bad idea but the video seemed rushed and definitely didn't look professionally done.

I got same email and message and agree with you. He also says in the video that we are returning 10 players and are adding 8 (he says adding 6 Freshmen and 2 transfers). Believe we are actually returning 9 players from the fall 2022 season and adding 6 Freshmen and 3 transfers (Buettner, Moravec and Hanson) to make 18 total.
