I worder it wrong but Reese and Glock as a duo has not been effective comapred to Diaz and Cabello, i think cabello is leading the team in assists as well. We have Kamden schrand that can play light out defense with a good serve as well, they have a few days to train before their California trip this week, if they could get that win over stanford i could see some final 4 potential again cause these past few days have not been it I don’t think Schrand has been “lights out” and I don’t think that the back row defense is the issue in either loss. We’re struggling with serve/pass and with having a consistent offense. Full tea Cabello was clearly nervous and trapping hitters today. In my eyes neither Glock or Cabello have outperformed the other to the extent that a 5-1 should be the go-to. They both have connection issues with certain hitters, and our serve receive game makes it impossible for either to set hitters in system. DeBeer’s best kills this season have been off of Scott. Cabello has a high ceiling, but she isn’t there yet. And in the meantime we have two strong opposites. Robins is not the issue, and her blocking front row solves a major problem from last season (Glock’s block would get tooled and abused by hitters consistently). With this lineup and the way they’ve been performing, the 6-2 makes sense. We can still DS one of the OH’s for one trip through the back row if needed. I totally agree with eazy that the 5-1 can be situational, but not the go-to (at least not yet). It's going to be hard for Cabello to get enough reps to not be nervous, if she's only playing half the time. |

Elena Scott just recorded 1500 Digs, she recorded 523 digs (#5 in the Power 5) in a single season last year i think it’s possible she could reach 2000 before the season ends and it’s still so early! She’s upped her defensive skills a bunch this year , 19 digs in 3 sets against Nebraska! She is currently #27 in the nation in digs per set and the third Cardinal ever to record 1,500 career digs http://instagram.com/p/DAWtT16yUL8

We lose a lot of depth next year ngl, but if we don’t get a transfer(s), who do yall think will be the starting outside duo.
I do think we will get at least 2 transfers tbh
I predict Meester and Peterson but the 2026 depth will be pretty good

I do think we will get at least 2 transfers tbh I predict Meester and Peterson but the 2026 depth will be pretty good Peterson is likely a lock - the other spot could be a battle between Meester and Utterback. That’s a lot of young blood at the OH spot though, so I do think a transfer is possible. I think next year we go to a 5-1 with Cabello setting, Robins at RS, Cresse and Sherman in the middle. Libero is probably going to be Schrand but I’m not sold yet tbh. We have all these DS’s on the roster and none of them have gotten enough playing time to stand out yet. What the coaches see in practice could be a completely different story. If we get transfers, I suspect we’ll be looking for juniors/seniors with lots of playing experience - likely a libero or an OH. I could see maybe getting a backup OPP from the portal, but I also wonder if one of the two incoming freshmen MB’s might cross-train at opposite like Reese did. |

I could see maybe getting a backup OPP from the portal, but I also wonder if one of the two incoming freshmen MB’s might cross-train at opposite like Reese did. 1. 80% chance Cabello will run a 5-1 unless they find another strong opposite. I think Glock is playing because DBK can't bench Reese or SMD. Stat-wise, Cabello has a 2.2% low bad set rate, which is impressive for a rookie and surprisingly better than most of the rookies this season, she’ll deffo get playing time next year 2. As for the OHs, Utterback is the only one without any playing time this season, so I’m doubtful. Meester, at 6'1", is a MAJOR recruit. Ava could be redshirting as well tbh 3. I’m fine with Schrand; she’s solid on defense, and her second contact is pretty. It might just be her passing that needs work. Still, it’d be tempting to replace Scott, who could be one of Louisville’s and College volleyball’s all-time best liberos. 4. On the MB position, 2025 Addison Makun i will not be surprised to see her start as a freshman , and i think will be valuable on the Right as well she darn good another big recruit DBK was smart for picking senior transfers this year because they have a lot of depth right now, but we lose that so i hope she gets younf experienced players that arent seniors, 2026 class looks fine to develop when they leave. Im curious to see if Louisville can maintain the elite status with how much they are gonna lose I think 2 pins and a Libero from the portal would be nice but the Lib depth is so much with Kenny coming in as well |

Wisconsin loses Franklin, smrek, orzol, Crawford, Robinson Stanford loses miner, oglivie and Francis Pitt loses Fairbanks, klika and vvg Nebraska loses lexi, beason, Krause, and Blackwell Creighton loses basically their entire lineup lol Texas loses skinner, Wenaas, Akana and Rutherford Penn state loses mruzik, Hannah and trammel Louisville will look very different next year and have to figure a lot out, but so do all of those teams so I’m not too worried |

I think its gonna be an unpredictable season in 2025 and we might see plenty of cinderalla teams and MANY coaches will be rushing for good portal picks That preseason poll next season will shock many |

She makes history as the first libero to achieve this since Elyse Cusack in 2006 and Third ever Libero to do this! WOW |

Ava could be redshirting as well tbh FWIW, Utterback is indeed planning to redshirt this year, confirmed. Tis why she didn't play against NKU when everyone else on the roster did. |

I’m rewatching the Stanford vs Louisville game and why did Molly Urban change into the Libero Jersey last minute, i don’t think anyone caught that but was DBK planning to sub her in ? just wondering why she would tell her to change into the Jersey against a team like Stanford
She didn’t play but wore the same jersey Scott wore in set 3 but wore black earlier

Idk but I noticed that too and thought it was weird |
