The wildest part of this Taylor Landfair transfer is that so many people who criticized her play all season are now dreaming and drooling over her joining their team. Ummmmmm....... as a fan of a team, I certainly don't want her to come to my school. She can't pass good right now and she will certainly demand a 6 rotation spot. She was a liability for MN. I think her finding a GOOD coach, who will help develop her, is essential. 6 rotations isn't that easy and i see way too many teams go down for it. It wasn't just the inconsistent passing (it did improve later in the year), it was that at no point during the season was she swinging hard. Most of her offense this season was taking slow high sets and placing them deep in the corners, if the set wasn't high enough then it would often be a weak tip that almost looked like a free ball. Serving and blocking was great.

Are there outsides in the portal that are better than Taylor? There is a lot of pressure for Minnesota after a mediocre season to land a top recruit that may look at going to Texas, Florida, Wisconsin as better option.

I don't think Minnesota will look hard to bring in a transfer at the position. Julia Hanson was a pretty big recruit out of high school and has done a lot of good things when she's had the chance to play. Gophers have a lot of pin hitters even with TL gone. Schnichels was a big recruit but was out this year with injury, could move her into the opposite role and move Grote to the left. Minnesota really needs to find two littles in the portal.

And all the posters who complain about the portal and ‘super teams’ will temporarily suspend their criticism while they pray 🙏 their school lands her so they can build a super team.

Ok but in all honesty let’s not pretend like NEB fans weren’t super nasty with one of their most recent transfers out… Let's not rewrite history. One, maybe two, of the "Husker" fans here were nasty. 99% of us wished both Caffey and Akana well in their future endeavors. We congratulated them on their national championship. The people (person with multiple accounts?) you're referring to has been blocked by most Husker fans, and we don't want them associated with us.

The wildest part of this Taylor Landfair transfer is that so many people who criticized her play all season are now dreaming and drooling over her joining their team. So the only 2 teams I really like that are “good enough” for her are Texas and Penn State and I am praying she does not end up at either. She should be a 3 rotation player on any top 25 team but I don’t see her being happy with just 3 rotations. I can think of an elite 8 team where her back row defense does not lose the elite 8 match for them. That could maybe even stretch over to the sweet 16. If she can channel her inner middle and be okay with just playing 3 rotations she could up a top teams stock over night. But there are other players in the portal I would definitely prefer Texas and PSU picking up.

I mean she gave y’all 4 years. I wouldn’t count her season she got injured. How do you not count a season where she couldn't play yet stuck with the team the entire time?? That is literally being loyal.

Nobody with even half a brain is being "nasty" to Taylor Landfair. She has always been a great representative for herself and the University of Minnesota. She is a class act person who will do well in life. The Gophers had their worst season in a decade and she was a big part of that. If volleyball wants to be a major sport, the fan bases have to get used to the rougher fans. There is no major sport in the world without a-hole fans. I really think the Gophers and Taylor will be better off with this split. She had 4 years to imprint herself at Minnesota, while there were some bright spots, it wasn't a memorable era for Minnesota Volleyball. As long as she doesn't end up at a rival, I will be a big fan of hers wherever she goes. Why would you care if she ends up at a rival school? If she wasn't a memorable player, why do you think she'll have an impact playing against the Gophers?

I really don’t think Landfair was a good fit under KCook’s coaching style and that’s okay. She gave Minnesota 4 years and I’m thankful for that. She’s been a fantastic player for the Gophers but I understand her moving on. I hope she lands at a program where she can thrive as a 3ro OH and if she really wants to play 6ro, then I hope she finds a team that will help her with that. Sometimes change is good for both parties

Can we all not attack the MN fan base please? There is literally ONE fan on here who is being a dick about it. We're all feeling a little shell-shocked that we're losing a top player again. We were anticipating having her another one or two years. As frustrated as we were with Landfair this year it's because she is so talented and has such a high ceiling and we KNOW she can be so good. So block the crabby poster if needed and move on.
