That would be a surprise since she started every match as a true freshman, but it is a new world in college sports. OSU would be very thin at MB if this is true. That stat doesn’t seem to matter much anymore….new world in college VB is correct.

Not a surprise. Hopefully she can help recruit/develop the next her.

What the heck with Davis in the portal? She was absolute difference-maker.

Losing Davis makes me very unhappy. Wonder what the hell is going on there.... Usually players transfer for one of four reasons:
1) Too good and wants to chase a championship at a bigger program: Strongly doubt that's the case here... the 2022 Nuts will be a Top 10 team preseason and have a solid chance at some hardware of some sort.
2) Not good enough and want more playing time: Davis got a ton of run with Rader getting the starts, but Davis coming off the bench in a ton of rotations. Since Rader has two more years, maybe Davis wants to be somewhere where she is the feature MB? I doubt it, but I guess it's possible.
3) Not connecting with staff: I guess this is possible, but I've heard nothing out of the Nut camp that there are locker room issues at all. Pretty strong leadership from the upperclassmen and a really well respected coaching staff. But everyone is different, so there may be something that hasn't come out yet.
4) Homesick: Davis is from NC, so this may be the most likely of options. This happens a lot with students that go to a culturally very different place. Could hate the cold? Could hate the culture of the university as a whole and not feeling supported in academics. We will know if this if the reason if she ends up at somewhere like Duke or UNC.

Since Rader has two more years, maybe Davis wants to be somewhere where she is the feature MB? I doubt it, but I guess it's possible. Who was the other starting middle? Rylee Rader (whose last name my computer hates and constantly autocorrects to odd things for some reason)... rising Junior. She was ACVA 2nd-Team All American... so she's pretty dang good and has two more years. So I could possibly see Davis thinking she is gonna limit her playing time (cause while I LOVE Davis, she doesn't have the consistency that Rader has... yet). Both our MB1 and MB2 get a bunch of court time (they both played 114 sets this year), our MB1 does see far more swings ( Rader went 297/605 and Davis went 174/343). Davis got used way more for her defense (Rader had 117 block contributions, Davis had 146) than offense. So if she wants to transfer because of playing time, I'd be really, really confused by it.

Would not shock me if Davis transfered to NC State to be closer to home. They are scooping up TONS of Big Ten and Top 25 transfers. What a bummer. Would have been nice to pick up Shea Rubright before she confirmed her transfer for Wash St.
Maybe we could snag Lauren Dooley (FL transfer) or a MB transfer from UCLA?

NC State has got to be close to being finished. They are up to about 20 players for the fall roster.

We will know if this if the reason if she ends up at somewhere like Duke or UNC. Davis would be considered a starter. She plays opposite Rader. I don’t consider this the same as coming off the bench - like a sub. Could be a lot of factors deciding the starting rotation - such as where top hitter(Londot) starts. I would rule out #2.

@cvbtransfers has her going to Minnesota. She is not on their Spring Roster.
Not too homesick.
