Everyone was in the workout tweet Barnes sent. The team website has the 2023-24 roster started but not complete. None of the freshman are listed & the grad years are all wrong. Hopefully they'll start to release more video or pics of spring workouts.

Hey we love our Hawks! That’s all! And it’s fun to have VT friends along for the ride Exactly, PointHawks! Having dedicated fans isn't something limited only to perennial powerhouse programs. Just seems some cannot grasp that concept...that's kinda what being a true fanbase is, ain't it? And if "keeping Iowa Volleyball on the front page of Volleytalk" annoys some other posters to the point they need to comment on it (we seem to know who they are), I am happy to ensure something gets posted daily to further their consternation! I'm a giver, you know! GO HAWKS!! Exactly! I think it's awesome to see the fandom of Iowa keeping up this thread. I've tried it with IU for a loooooong time (member since 2005) but alas, I honestly think I'm the only one.

Keep trying and you'll find some fellow Hoosier vball fans on here, I bet. So, you probably remember the Ashley Benson era quite well, then! Still, to me, a shining example of how one incredibly talented player can positively impact the entire feel of a program during their tenure...helluva dominant competitor and player, she was! And you probably remember setter Mara Hilgenberg being a trendsetter (pardon the pun) in transferring intra-Big Ten conference to Iowa in 2008 from Indiana without sitting out a year? That was quite the rare deal then before it became sexy to transfer willy-nilly between B1G teams nowadays! (and yep, I am keenly aware I sound like an old guy yelling at neighbor kids to get off his lawn! )

Congratulations to Olivia! I believe they have her high school incorrectly listed on this announcement, though. If I'm not mistaken, she transferred last year from WDM Valley to Des Moines Christian and played for DMC in fall of 2022? Ugh.

The "ugh" and were sure not in reference to Olivia herself. I'm thrilled for her to be a Hawkeye! Very talented player! Goodness. They were in reference to the program's communications group appearing to make the unfortunate error of incorrectly listing the current high school she attends and played volleyball for in their announcement about her...that, to me, is a "strange way to welcome a new player."

OK. It appeared to me that your negatives were in response to the high school she transferred to, as they directly followed.

Glad that has been clarified and also glad they appear to have now corrected it.
