Opposite

Kendall Kipp (Stanford)

OH

Caitie Baird (RS Junior, Stanford)

Middle Blocker

McKenna Vicini (RS Junior, Stanford)

I'm not sure if I should include Baird or Vicini. Baird redshirted her frosh season and Vicini had a medical redshirt. All three came to the program at the same time and have a COVID year.

I don't have any announcements but the announcers have said in several matches that Hambly said all the players are returning. I think that only means the starters, though, not Xu or Berty.

I can delete this if you only want official announcements.

Izzy Ashburn (S) and Gabby McCaa (MB) for Wisconsin.

[speegs13]

Pretty sure Annie Sullivan (OH/OPP) and Ciera Pritchard (S) are for Colorado State. They weren’t mentioned on the senior day preview.

[vballfreak808]

Lexis Akeo for Pitt

[Fight On!]

Skymoney?!?

[hipsterfilth]

Not to be "that guy" but doesn't it make much more sense for this or be organized by conference -> team? Or is this presuming situations where someone might say "I'm taking a fifth year, but not here!" if so, that feels like it could be captured in the transfers thread?
