I just saw this press release, from April 16. Not a lot of them this time of year so easy to see them late!

Last two Spring matches coming up this Saturday.

Also noticed on the schedule page photos from the earlier SMU match (is actually linked to the upcoming match with them!):

Jamie has posted another "Gig 'Em " to X this afternoon. Wonder who the coaches have grabbed.

That'd be nice but an immediate impact MB might be difficult to draw in with our current starting two but a depth piece there would be ideal

We definitely need another one. Fingers crossed.

Portal opens up May 1st

Because of the X post I'm assuming there has been a verbal agreement with a player to sign with us but the signing cannot be done and announced until May 1st.

Not too many days to wait !!

Might even be more than one but we definitely need a MB. And I'm sure Jamie will bring in an experienced one.

I saw the post on X and tried to show the picture to the group right as you were doing the same (apparently posting the picture is above my pay grade).

If you click share and copy and paste the link, the picture on the tweet should appear

Looks like a great addition at MB.

So that essentially removed our last area of concern right? Assuming the setting improves. Did it say the MB will be here for this season?

I'm trying to find more info about her, but she seems to have been on Serbians youth national teams, she last players in their U21 team at 17 years old! Her wingspan looks huge lol

Here's the write up on the addition, all signs are pointing to her arriving in the fall! Jamie played against her in the U19 championship in 2023. She must have been 16 and left a great impression! Jamie seems pumped!

It provides the depth we were lacking at the position! And a piece in the middle to build on for the future!!

Looking ahead we'll have a great Libero in Addi Applegate and our commits Gabi Rodriguez and Jenna Thedford. We're set at this position for a long time! We'll have some outstanding outsides in Kyndall Stowers, Megan Fitch, and Taryn Morris to go with commits Sara Bowcutt and Brooke Lacewell. In the middle we'll have Stanojevic, and commit Lolufe Adedeji! Setter we'll have Margot Manning and Kirra Musgrove. Having a team with 10 seniors we're going for something big this year, and having to replace all that would be scary, but Jamie and staff have a plan and it's looking pretty promising!!! I'm excited for Aggie volleyball, especially excited for this fall, but lots to look forward to beyond!

That'll give us the potential to add around 4-6 transfers this next offseason!! To go with the young talent and our hopeful success this following season. We can keep the trajectory of Aggie Volleyball going upwards!!! If you're not following this program right now, I suggest you do so

This is exciting. Jamie is well positioned in the world of volleyball to take advantage of it.

I wonder how different international players are as far as training and technique goes.

Look at women's tennis and softball, they are bringing a business like, professional mindset. Morrison is changing the mindset from this is the end of the road, to we are preparing you for the professional ranks. This middle addition showcases that.

Iffena and Ledinecky are future pros, at a min

The international players I've watched have been solid - especially in the aspects where repetition is key. CSU had a freshman last year from Spain and she wasn't necessarily more polished in all aspects but she was definitely above average serving. In Europe at her academy or whatever they call it she spent hours every day just serving.

Like women's tennis & golf, I wouldn't mind a majority team of Europeans, etc. Recruit to win a title. Love it.

That picture of her says "Reed Arena" in text and in the background in Reed Arena. Does this mean they'll start playing volleyball games there? I thought they played in a smaller venue for some unknown reason.

It isn't 2000 anymore. VB has been in Reed for while

From the article on Stanojevic: "45 service aces" last year. That level of serving would be a nice add. In addition to the 130 kills and 89 blocks.

And Jamie is on record saying he doesn't want a venue smaller than Reed. He wants to sell out Reed, and then maybe play a game in Kyle.
