Guess we know what happened to Pedro Mendes now, he's the new Assistant Coach at Northwestern.
Good for him.

Honestly I don’t know much about her. Anyone willing to share their insight and thoughts?
Love that she has 2 years of eligibility left and this will add to our middle depth.

She put up 2+ kills per set on nearly .350 hitting, with 1.35+ blocks per set at LMU this year. I really was impressed by her at Georgia before she went to LMU, they just struggled to get her the ball as much as she deserved it. I had no clue she was even in the portal again. She should have two more years of eligibility too.

This has to be the connection that Munoz (the volunteer assistant coach) has at LMU.

Just watched a brief highlight clip of her when she was with Georgia against Tennessee (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1256829598005892) She has some fire to her, which could bring good energy to the team. Hope she's a good fit!

Well, hopefully she likes this home. This will make it her third. Setters have had a challenging time consistently connecting with her. Had flashes of brilliance at Georgia and then an ok showing at LMU. Wish her well.

Good to add another middle. I still would like to see the Gophers add another DS.

Phoebe is a fantastic blocker - I expect her to do well. Great add for the Gophers, IMO.

Not sure what you meant by she had an okay showing at LMU. Was she even better at Georgia? Granted that I didn’t pay enough attention on her before but based on the stats last year, it was pretty impressive. She was #19 in b/s with 1.39 and hitting at .379.

Good to add another middle. I still would like to see the Gophers add another DS. I know I'm a broken record, but I would so love to see Elise take on the DS position—especially with how many balls we need set from out of system (even another DS would not solve that problem)

Hope she's a good fit! I'm counting on her, Arica, and Elise to bring the fire to this team. I haven't gotten as good of a glimpse into what Sydney and Calissa can provide in that realm. We have great experienced leaders in Murr, Taylor, and Mel, but that's separate from having a spark (and both are needed). Arica can blow the roof off of the Pav, and Elise can get the rest of the girls going better than anyone (imo).

She will need to be the back up setter. If anyone, it would be Chloe.
