Word on the street… 2 Big Bingos coming soon and some surprising early departures 😌 Writing on the wall, I hate some of the fallout, portal killing the game. Hmm…If this is really true (and I hope it isn’t), I’m guessing Robinson and Orzul. That'd be sad.

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? The Covid year gave a LOT of kids, graduate degrees while still on VB scholarship, maybe the only good thing to come out of the pandemic, because very few players get to play professionally or for the national team, or both. So academics is a real consideration for most of them, as it should be.

I can’t see Ally B leaving. She’s stayed while being recruited over, she’s stayed while being a bench player, she’s stayed while being absolutely slandered by half the fan base, and she still looks happy on the court. She seems to have a lot of friends on the team and enjoy being a part of it.

It seems that TCU and Texas are competing for Averi Carlson. Coaches from both teams have mutual recent follows with her. I wonder if TExas would drop the offer after Swindle proved herself as a masterpiece. swindle proved herself for sure, but Carlson is still the better setter between those 2

Does winning today keep her at Texas? She can now fill Mollys shoes and be the future. I think she is checked out…the past few weeks throughout the tournament she didn’t seem engaged or excited when they kept advancing. I think she’s ready to be the star at another school and will probably be in the portal by Wedn. that’s just her even when she was on the court she’s not an animated celebrator

It’s a bit ridiculous to me that there are still some posters here think that Texas should still try to bring in Carlson after Swindle their freshman setter phenom just set their team to the championship. If JE indeed does that, I would never want to be recruited/commit as a high schooler to Texas.

What about Jerivicious? That article talking about them deciding to redshirt her mid match without talking to her about it didn’t make them look good. Same article indicated she and her family (who all moved to Lincoln) are in it for the long haul. Who knows. We keep hearing reports that she hits the ball harder than anyone on the team. But she'd be behind Beason all next year. That’s what I mean. If she didn’t see the floor this year she may not see it next year.

No basis for this but feel like Reagan Rutherford may be headed to Texas. Imagine Texas will want to recruit another little for next year w/ Barnes' departure

It’s just that with Swindle’s situation, it just feels so wrong. I am not saying that cannot or won’t do that.
