I know I haven't built up much of a reputation on these boards which may put my credibility/reliability to question, but I wanted to share this. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to a source that I trust that is close to the team, a senior will be missing the season due to surgery to correct an injury. I won't share much further to respect the privacy of the player who I'm sure will make an announcement when they are ready, but it's being viewed as the player playing no volleyball this year. Did we ever get any confirmation of this??? Sorry for the late follow-up. Player hasn't been pictured in any of the team's preseason training images, and I'm expecting the earliest statement from Tamas to come during B1G media days on August 5. I've confirmed with two people close to the player about the injury + surgery and my understanding still is that it's season-ending.

We discussed Kayle in the team’s instgram feed with a shoulder sling. Another poster confirmed she is out and not coning back after.

Why criticize a staff who respects the athletes who make a genuine and well considered process? Why criticize Tamas? He does a terrific job and players like him. I don’t see NW prevailing over the Illini anytime soon.

You boarded the crazy train all butt hurt defending the coaching staff. Where was the criticism? Go touch grass.

I think someone mentioned this video a while back and it looks like it's dated about a month ago but I'll post the link since I don't remember seeing another one shared: So many new Illini this season and even three more not videoed above!
That’s was me. I didn’t see Laynie in the vid so was wondering where she was.
According to Twitter, looks like all eight new Illini are in town!

Llewelyn is no longer on the 2024 roster, although I think I recognize her in this photo. There are at least 3 players on the roster not in the photo. Who is missing?

Who is missing? i never understood why she was on the roster haha. best of luck to her! We had an extra roster spot when she was serving as a student manager. I guess it was good to have her in an emergency situation, especially considering our lack of back row depth. I believe she will return to her position as student manager but if not, good luck to wherever she goes next!
