ISU was a tourney team and Texas is outta the Big 12 next year. Wonder what she’s looking for in her next destination. Closer to home? She’s from San Antonio. Was on a loaded Cornerstone Christian team with Grace Carroll, Lauren Briseño (Baylor), and Taylor Anderson (Purdue)

Jen Woods putting those Houston Skyline connections to work! All of these A&M players are from H Skyline. Morgan Perkins MB (OU to A&M) Maddie Waak (LSU to A&M) Ava Underwood (A&M) Logan Lednicky (A&M) Margot Manning (A&M) AND four more from that club are in the portal right now! Alexis Dacosta OH/DS (Baylor) Brielle Warren OH (Purdue) Courtney O’Brien OH/DS (Texas Tech) Nina Moorer OH (Louisville) With A&M losing both starting outsides, could one of these four be the next player to join this reunion? Waak to A&M makes me think they’re sticking with the 6-2 and we won’t see a 6-rotation Lednicky /: Agreed but considering Texas has to play them now, I won’t be too upset to see their best player off the court half the game LOL

Was on a loaded Cornerstone Christian team with Grace Carroll, Lauren Briseño (Baylor), and Taylor Anderson (Purdue) Something in my gut told me she was on her way to the portal. But also Briseño just posted about Gonzalez on her Instagram story. I know they are really close. And the connection to Grace Carroll as well. If Stowers isn’t healthy (which I think she will be), I’m sure Gonzalez will be a target for BU. But for now, Baylor is deepest at the pins.

Is it really that hard to win at Syracuse? Get some undersized ball-control recruits from the Midwest or West. Grab a couple kids from the portal. Beat up on the small schools in the Northeast. Sneak some wins in a weak conference. What am I missing? Why would those kids want to go to Syracuse? Weather, facilities, it just doesn't make sense with other schools out-doing Syracuse in multiple facets, even if they aren't P5.. I don't see what the draw is of a Syracuse.. There's other mid-major options in the midwest that seem like better options for those undersized ball-control kids. I still think Cuse should try to lean on international recruits (like their past coach has) and how Bakeer did while he was at Temple. Bakeer isn't Yelin though - so, it will be harder for him. I see what you’re saying. I’m thinking of some of the girls at lower D1 school like the Big Sky or WAC, who could play for a big name school. Or D2 girls that got passed over.

One potential draw is their Communications/Broadcasting Dept

One potential draw is their Communications/Broadcasting Dept Yes! They have a good academic reputation and for most of these players, that’s what really matters. The majority of collegiate VB players don’t have an expectation of going pro or playing for the USNT so graduating with a degree from a well respected university is the goal. The hope would be that you could play some good, competitive volleyball with good people, enjoy being part of a high achieving family and learn things that make you a better professional and contributing member of society. Mayne you could play and even win elsewhere but what are the academic goals?

Unless we have someone else playing as the second opposite then i don't see the 6-2 being very effective for us. FREE LEDNICKY AND OPEN UP SOME BACKROW OFFENSIVE OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Nayeli Gonzalez is in the portal if Jake Barreau is continuing his following streak of transfers.. That would be a gigantic pickup for almost any team in the country. Huge if true. Get her for 3 years😳

Is Gonzalez confirmed? I would be shocked Not that I’m aware of, but Jake Barreau isn’t very sneaky about his instagram follows either.

When the athletes hate the coach, why would they stay? I wouldn’t be surprised to see another still. Why do they hate him? At what point does the school actually look at the coach and wonder if he's the problem? It seems like a mass exodus has got to be a major red flag.
