    Maybe #18 Jessica Smallwood is graduating early and coming for the 2025 season?

    #3 is Aniya Madkin the 6'2' MB transfer from Arkansas.

    Haven't seen anything on the transfer from Texas yet.

    Does anyone have any sense of how we compare with other top programs for NIL? I know our softball and baseball compare very well, just wasn't sure if getting a player like Stafford from Pitt boils down to dollars vs program and opportunity like some of the other sports

    We raised 100K to pay for tuition, room, and board for the spring semester for transfers. On July 1, the scholarships for everyone will kick in. I hope we can take advantage of this.

    The word has certainly gotten out to opposing coaches and players that UF volleyball is a major NIL player and this is as it should be since we have such a passionate fan base.
    Scrappygator is right that the parameters will change July 1, 2025.

    After rereading my comment, it doesn't come across as clear as I thought it did: "WTF? Was Mary too hard on her (Beason)..." was meant to be read in a condescending tone like "WTF? Was Mary too hard on you (and made you stop loving volleyball)?" Do not blame Mary for your discontent.

    Understood. Thank you for the clarification.

    Mary knows talent and she and her staff are gifted in integrating that talent into a team.

    I repeat my earlier post:

    Stay tuned.

    Okay it’s in the open now.

    Flormarie Heredia Colon is a Gator.

    All the pieces are now in place.

    I'm more of a casual volleyball fan, but I assume Heredia Colon is a big transfer for the program? She seems a little short for OH, however - replacement for Fitzpatrick?
