Added a OH from Rutgers at TAMU as well Taylor Humphrey...The one HS recruit has a heavy swing but honestly I dont think is ready to play at the SEC level this season at OH
Heard Cos-Okpalia took some swing as OH in some spring matches. Dont know if experiment or due to numbers

Dont know if experiment or due to numbers for their sake I hope that’s not in the works. her blocking can quite literally win them matches. you lose a lot of that if you move her to a pin

The loss of both OH’s Muoneke (transfer) and Mueth (graduation) will be a problem for TAMUVB this fall. Feels like a huge ask to replace their production with the players they’ve brought in. After watching them play this spring, they seem like a middle to lower tier SEC team this season.

With that said, I think their top end is top 4 but most likely finish similar to last year. I think they take off after that ‘25 class gets there.

Seems like they have better complimentary skill position players, but this is still an OH's game. Couple different schools in that boat. Notably Arkansas, Tennessee from the top of the group last year, replacing both OH.

I would argue that losing that All Sec freshman will be a positive for the program in the long run...short run ie this year maybe not so much

I know they have the girl from San Antonio who is good but wouldn’t say she comes in and makes a huge impact her first two years .

From what I could find the only OH they’re adding in 2025 is Megan Fitch. Not sure if she’s “elite” per say but she’s definitely got the size and overall athleticism. Also they’re adding Greek national team member Elena Karakasi (S) for the class of 2024.

Romani Thurman is likely your starting OPP, but after that you have one lefty OH (Calame) who played in a couple matches two years ago when Gillen took a knock to her knee and a bunch of never-played-a-point-in-college kids.

I forgot that Tennessee transferred in Hayden Kubik too. I'd imagine Hayden could be looking at a solid year with regular starter rhythm. Her along with maybe Fr Paityn Chapman (?). They just added Eryn Jones, transfer from TCU, but I don't know that she's good enough to make an impact for them. They also have 20 kids on their roster! We think maybe there's some NIL scholarship creation there or are that many kids wanting to walk on Rocky Top?

Eve seems to like the over-sized rosters. If you look back at her rosters the past several years -- 2023: 21 players; 2022: 16 (an all time low for her); 2021: 20. And 20 again this year.

Mizzou adds another transfer in Kiaraliz Perez Catala, the WAC liber of the year, giving them two conference libero's of the year on their roster. It seems they ran a 6-2 in a lot of their Spring matches so it will be interesting to see how they decide to incorporate their DSs into the match. I am curious to see if they stick with the 6-2, giving both Sierra Dudley and Texas transfer Crownover a chance to run the offense or if they battle it out for the starting spot. Additionally, I haven't seen Mychael Vernon OH transfer from Oregon State in any of their spring videos yet, but Kimani Johnson looked great on the left pin alongside Janet Demarrais so that should be a battle for the starting slots as well.

For who, their opponents? Like I said long run probably a good thing for 2024 probably not I will be surprised if she stays at Georgia for three years also
