I know the seeding was right, but Louisville looked like a national champion earlier in the season. Pittsburgh taking the Cardinals out was still a bit of a surprise to me. Nebraska vs. Pittsburgh Wisconsin vs. Texas Nebraska vs. Wisconsin I'm picking Wisky to win it all. The Kiddie Corps plus Beason gets stopped in the final by a Badger team that split home and home with the Cornhuskers during the regular season.
Pitt has an excellent coach, and imo he was the difference, although his players have to execute. They served Lville off the court and made life miserable for Anna DeBeer(a local HS stud who played for a friend of mine at Assumption HS). I’ll stick with Corns
Reagan Rutherford, Kentucky OH who had a total of 28 kills in two matches versus Gators, has entered the VB transfer portal.
Martin certainly deserved it. Here's the complete list of All-Americans. Notice that Merritt Beason is 1st team and only 1 SEC player made the 1st team and she's from Tennessee. 2023 AVCA Div. II WVB All-America Teams | AVCA Awards
Kennedy Martin is 1 of 4 UF freshmen to make all-American, none named Beason. Kennedy Martin Selected as AVCA Second Team All-American - Florida Gators Martin becomes just the fourth Florida freshman named to either the First, Second or Third teams during a rookie campaign, joining Rhamat Alhassan (2014 – Second Team), Kelly Murphy (2008 – Third Team) and her current teammate Alexis Stucky who received Third Team during the 2022 season.
Great add to an already loaded 2024 roster as an AVCA honorable mention All-American. Still no mention of Bella Lee signing. I wonder if she is a walk-on or an academic scholarship addition?
She signed. Signed with @GatorsVB and won my second State Championship this week! I am grateful for the journey and can’t wait to wear the orange and blue! Go Gators!!
Welcome aboard the Gator Express Isi! Are we thinking an inch taller Fitzpatrick or an inch shorter Victoria? Experienced/talented depth like this is outstanding to have on a championship level team. Hope this doesn't mean bad news one of our other OHs, say Gravlee or Hutson.
Nothing funny here, just wanted i don’t think so. Remember we need practice players, and of course in case of injuries. Good ol Hillsborough CC…play We need players to fill practices and be ready to step in if needed. Sorry if duped
Wasn't meant to be funny. It was meant to make fun of cmw detractors. AVCA Honorable Mention All-American at UNLV is pretty good for a Hillsborough CC player don't you think?
YouTube highlights of transfer Isabel Martin: Isabel Martin - UNLV NCAA Volleyball Highlights (youtube.com) Isabel will have to earn PT. Talented and athletic so I'm going with an inch taller AC Fitzpatrick. However, the video shows her hitting out of the middle too. Her game is an interesting dynamic added to the 2024 team. We have two Martins now, so the announcers are going to be challenged when both are on the court.

It’d be nice but I think the difference is the Husker defense, back row and at the net. Jmho of course. It always comes down to serve and receive
I've never liked Texas. Even when I was a kid I pulled for Arkansas and Oklahoma when Texas played them. Now that they'll be in the SEC, they move up in my dislike list to the Tennessee level - just below Georgia! Go Huskers.
