In the last decade, I can only recall Kramer having a great slide toward the end of her career. Antwi too. Kelley and Essix both looked good doing it at times last year. Good on Stucky for pushing the team. Now is the time. Hopefully it pays dividends. I believe we have a stud freshman DS coming in that should help shore up passing. Last spring was a hot mess too before we had Canaan or Hoyle as options. I see Victoria as the 6 rotation OH then Dixon and Kennedy taking the other 2 pin spots. Dixon may need to pass in some rotations. Shainah Joseph had some pretty nasty slide attacks when she played middle. Her combination of speed and athleticism made her a problem trying to defend.

Ah I still remember her slide CRUSH to save Florida’s final four chance in the third set against USC having come back from behind. What an electric home match that was.

Kelly Murphy is being inducted to UF’s 2023 Hall of Fame. Go Gators! It was so awesome being a student when she played. One of the all-time gator greats

I wonder if that is sickness related or injury related.

Would love an expert analysis of today's match with UCF. Actually I'd settle for any analysis. It's in the O'Connell Center on campus, but the spring football game is also tonight. Could be a parking issue. Hope somebody makes it.

All I gotta say is... ugh. First set was great. We lost sets two and three. I had to leave after set three. No one looked really comfortable except maybe Elli? The connection between Stucky and the hitters was pretty good in set one, but after that it was more of the same. Too fast, imo. Tough to say how this springs bodes for the future as I think things will look much different. Essix didn't play at all today, Victoria only back row for ACF, Hoyle was in a big knee brace and crutches, Dixon didn't stand out too much, but I'm sure she's still adjusting to a whole new team. Perhaps a whole summer and some newcomers will help shake things up and re-invigorate this group! Martin was the best hitter and it didn't matter where she was hitting from. I wouldn't really be surprised if Mary went to the portal again this spring. Markova seemed to come out of nowhere last spring and she was clutch for us all fall. I just hope that no other big names leave us Beason has left a big hole in a lot of areas, it seems.

Slightly off-topic, but I saw on the beach side that UF might be adding a program. Would make a lot of sense. Wonder how it would impact the indoor scene, how many current players would consider doing both, etc.

Any idea what type of player profile Florida might be considering in the portal?
The SoCon Setter of the Year from ETSU might be a good get. I believe we picked up a D2 grad transfer setter, but that makes me nervous being Stucky's only backup. I get why no setter who wants to play would come to UF right now though.
Other more likely target should be Rylen Reid from FGCU. 5-11 current freshman OH who played tremendously against Iowa State in FGCU's first round loss in the NCAA tournament. She brought them back to life even though she was used sparingly during the season. Would be a good get to backup or enhance Florida's passing and defense. I like her energy too.

Well looks like we're losing Kelley. Do we think Okammor or Thomas takes her spot in the starting lineup?
