I guess my question is, how did she enter herself in the portal? Would she not be listed as WBB, so then how does OSU know to contact her? Some behind the scenes scheming going on here or?? Genuinely curious.. pretty rare situation

She was listed for volleyball.
But I thought OSU didn't have any scholarships left over for transfers or 5th years... is someone leaving this spring? Or is Morris walking on?

Michelle Zhao - Setter - Washington State to LMU How (and why) does someone transfer to a school that doesn't have a coach? IDK but she's on the move again.

I am pretty sure that OSU had 1 available scholarship (unless one of the lower ranked DS recruits are surprisingly on scholarship) and just didn't want to offer a covid year to only 1 of the eligible seniors. I see Morris was listed as both an outside hitter and middle blocker in high school, but I assume she will play middle since she hasn't been passing for the last few years.

If they had a scholarship available, I am stunned they didn't use it to keep Mac Podraza. She was the all-Big Ten setter last year. Players like that don't come around that often.

There was actually a great video that Lee at VolleyballMag did with JFO and Mac Podraza on this topic. If you haven't seen it, they give a lot of great context: volleyballmag.com/ohio-state-ncaa-transfer-portal-121922/

If I could give them one of those players for this year it would no doubt be Murr. OSU looks real weak at L/DS in the spring and really struggled to pass in their scrimmages. As good as Podraza is, the dropoff at the setter position will be less than at libero.

As good as Podraza is, the dropoff at the setter position will be less than at libero. Well, Murr’s strength as libero isn’t her passing. It’s all the balls she keeps in play and the transition opportunities she creates. I would have for sure given the ship to Podraza if it was mine to give. She was the leader of that team. They fed off of her “we can beat anyone” attitude. Also, she’s a real asset as an attacker and blocker on the front row when most teams are just hoping for someone who is not a complete liability for three rotations. But I like Murr a lot, too. I just don’t like her for her passing per se.
