Abby Vander Wahl is one of 12 players selected for the U19 Pan Am games team. Where do we stand with her? She would be an awesome get. Probably getting offers from all the top 20 teams.

There is a chat under USA U19 Pan Cup 2023 discussing players so follow if you’re a USA volleyball fan 🇺🇸 I am old and do not know how to link it here but I should learn. Very good information on players and some updated videos hopefully our Illini coaches will scout some of these players! when I was looking I think I saw Canadian Illinois Taylor De Boer on the poster for the tournament or maybe it’s not her?

Thanks for sharing! The article mentioned that Maya Imoto-Eakin is projected to be a DS in college which I wasn't aware of. I thought she was primarily slated to be a setter, but it's nice to have another DS option after our passing issues the past few years lol.

Krista is coaching the team that has Abby VanDer Wal on it. That would be a huge get for us.

According to the article Imoto-Eakin signed a letter of intent. If that is the case we can stop looking for pin hitters, I don’t believe we have any more scholarships.

Her announcement was in Feb which means she is a walk on. Only the players announced in the fall are usually on scholie. Feb announcements get a financial aid package as a walk on.

DeBoer leads Canada with 33 points in their 5 set loss to Mexico. I think the video is on YouTube. The camera is way off the court so hard to really watch and evaluate.

Should I stop checking until august? Some extended radio silence for sure. I've been roaming and monitoring other threads to keep myself distracted while waiting with bated breath to see if Tamas lands the portal outside hitter we need. Now that the portal is closed, I'd think the top available ones will be going fast. Soon enough, the top 2025 class players will be getting offers (starts June 15) and we'll be keeping our eyes peeled on that action. Definitely think we'll need a setter in that class. We have a middle blocker, opposite, and DS/L coming in the class of 2024. And after the 2024 season we'll lose both Barnes and Burbage to graduation for sure and Vanessa Pan (if Vanessa has two years of eligibility left). I'd also think we need at least an outside hitter and a DS/L in the 2025 class. Do folks feel differently than me on what our 2025 recruit needs are?

Who knows is Raina comes back. That leaves us with 2 and that’s it. We need at least 2.
