Really interested to see if/where Shondell finds the incentive to mix up something in his lineup this year. It probably starts with Lil’ Hornung. Raven Colvin is a beast at the net.. Someone who seems to be a more physical version than Faye Adelaja from a few years ago. |

Interesting to see the middle evolve into “smaller”, jumpers, faster more athletic and physically dominant players. I wonder if Mary Wise will ever go this route. |

www.google.com/amp/s/amp.jconline.com/amp/7681211002Really good article by Sam King. I love the team first culture of this team. Holloway is a truly magical place and the fan base is only getting bigger. I think for the first time, there is a wait list for season tickets. That is amazing. Back when I first went to games in 2005ish…the gym was maybe a third full. Now it’s packed game after game after game. I love Coach Shondell and what he has built during his tenure here.

Very excited to see what this team can do this year. It is very evident from watching them that they have great team chemistry and the talent is there. Calling it now, they will finish 2nd or 3rd in the BIG this year.

Congrats on Coach Shondell on signing a contract extension! He has certainly steered Purdue in the right direction for 18 years.

WOW! That is stellar. Just think of the pool of great athletes from which she was chosen. Great for her. Great for Boiler Volleyball. btw.. the gold volleyball in the video is pretty sweet. I need one of those. |

That’s a bit disappointing pre-con with exception of Lville and Wash St., but assuming this season was still a bit tricky to schedule. They need to end the Xavier/Lipscomb round robin and get into something more competitive.

They need to end the Xavier/Lipscomb round robin and get into something more competitive. Hmm. I disagree. I think it's a very good non-conference schedule. UNLV is a good team to schedule. Xavier was pretty solid and seems to be trending up. Lipscomb was the A-Sun Champ. LMU/Kansas/Tennessee are a few teams that could surprise as tournament teams. |

May be ok for RPI but I’d like to see them challenge themselves a bit more. I was hoping to see Texas in there… |

I was hoping to see Texas in there… I agree 💯 with Trojan. Purdue wasn’t going to be a top 4 seed this year, it makes little sense for them to *push* themselves with some insane non conference schedule. This is a very good RPI schedule and Purdue gets plenty of cracks at top 25 RPI teams in conference. |
