Updated Depth Chart (if football can do it, so can we) Assumptions: - ACF and McKissock listed until we know otherwise
- Giving experienced DSs the nod over the underclassmen
- Everyone is healthy
- I'm just making stuff up and could be totally off base
*Freshman or RS Freshman OH | RS | MB | S | L | DS | Martin 6'0 | Martin 6'6 | Essix 6'3 | Stucky 6'2 | McKissock 5'7 | Canaan 5'8 | Hutson* 6'3 | Rothe* 6'3 | Rothe* 6'3 | Parks* 5'11 | Canaan 5'8 | Adams 5'9 | ACF 5'11 | Gravlee 6'4 | Thomas 6'3 |
|
| Hoyle 5'10 | Harden* 6'3 |
| Auguste* 6'2
|
|
| Cornier* 5'6 | Gravlee 6'4 |
|
|
|
| Vogel* 5'7 |
|
|
|
|
| Lee* 5'6 |

do we have a scholarship count? Not sure, but currently there are 12 non L/DS based on the above.

Lauren Harden was just named the max preps national volleyball player of the year!! Hopefully everyone is able to fully recover going into next season! Does anyone know if any of the freshmen are coming in January? Mary legit has the talent to compete and win a national championship the next 3-4 years! Has the firepower, just need some solid back row play tbh Rubin, Flickinger, Sun, Knuckles are some recent winners for MP NPOY. Good company. Also, Rothe won Ohio's POY.

Here's my guess for the scholarship count. I. Martin Hutson Harden Gravlee K. Martin Rothe Essix Auguste Stucky Parks Last 2 I'm not sure, I'm thinking the DS got a 2 for 1 deal? or still available for portal or for Ellie and ACF
- I think Lee and Cornier are walk ons. - I'm not sure about Thomas. - I think Canaan, Adams, and Vogel got a deal or some sort

I don't particularly follow the Gators but I’m excited/intrigued about the thought of Landfair hitting off of Stucky. Landfair follows several Florida volleyball players on Instagram; obviously social media is a bubble but I’m curious to know if this is a legitimate possibility? Or at least speculate…
Martin and Hutson are the only locks at the pin, to my knowledge, so this could be a great addition. Let me know if I’m way off here lol.

I don’t see them going after another OH or opposite in the portal.

Not the first time I've seen her advocate for this this season. Interestingly, Florida's softball coach has as well. Even going so far as saying that softball has bigger rosters than volleyball yet still has to manage with the same number of scholarships. With the growth of the sport at the youth levels, we certainly have more athletes deserving of scholarships. In the era of the transfer portal however, one wonders how more scholarships would hurt parity and allow the rich to get richer by stockpiling more elite athletes. I imagine, at this moment, Wise and many other coaches of prominent programs wish they had more scholarships to go after portal athletes who are more primed to make an immediate impact over freshmen.

There's too much talent for Wise to pick up Landfair + we need passing and Landfair um...

Anything on if Mary is going after a back row player? or is she gonna have her current and upcoming DS battle it out? Still nothing yet from Ellie or AC, but I assume we hear soon

Still nothing yet from Ellie or AC, but I assume we hear soon I mean even after the usual suspects of McK, Canaan and Adams, we will have 4 DSs to choose from. One would hope that one of them could step up if they are needed. But yeah, there are still some impactful players out there. Gotta wonder if ACF and McK are undecided on returning and part of it is contingent on the transfer market and who Wise can bring in. Maybe they are content with ending their playing careers at 4 years if UF can find the right fit to use their scholarships. Would be the definition of selflessness. Id love to have them both back though. They play with a lot of heart (and skill too obviously) and a desire to win for the program that’s hard to replicate in a portal player.

If not, I don’t see a fit. Rothe and Gravlee our are RS backups. Harden played there some in HS too. Honestly I don’t even want to think about the prospect of backing up K Martin cuz really no one on the roster or in the portal rn (not even Landfair imo) could come close.
