Exciting times, welcome to both Gabriella and Taryn! I'm happy to see the L/DS position being prioritized more, as I think that's been our biggest weakness the past few seasons. Although I agree we need another OH or OPP, as we'll only have 2 OH and 1 OPP on the roster by 2025. I'm guessing we have 1 scholarship left for 2025? Hopefully we'll be able to pick up a pin hitter from this class

It is way too early to worry about the number of scholarships which may be available for the 2025 class. With the transfer portal and our history of medical retirements Tamas has to assume some on the current roster will not be on the roster for the 2025 season. Actually, I hope he is still recruiting for the 2024 class.

Welcome to the Orange and Blue, Taryn!!! Taryn's been added to the the roster on the first post of this thread and her name is hyperlinked to her SportsRecruits page. Lots of game footage over there: sportsrecruits.com/athlete/taryn_kirschI-L-L

Really excited about both our new recruits, fellow Illini faithful! Have enjoyed reviewing their game footage these past couple days and look forward to their eventual arrival in C-U. Lotta athleticism and evident high volleyball IQ. Appreciate the work our coaches have been doing behind the scenes and very cool to see their efforts bearing fruit so early in this commitment period.

My guess for other commit is Libero Taryn Kirsch. What other tea do you have?

I'm excited for an elite libero like Taryn. She looks very comfortable in the libero shoes and looks smooth doing it. From videos she is well at covering her players and is quick.

My daughter is a coach at sting. She thinks Pitcel is a great pickup for Illini. Great vertical and great kid. Excited to see another Wisconsin high schooler headed south! Happy Father’s Day to all the Illini dads!

I think these are two solid pick ups. Illinois is known for bigger but slower players. These players seem quick and scrappy. They look like great all around athletes not just volleyball players. I'm excited for a different look for this Illini team.
