undVBfan Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Anyone know anything about this? I'm not 100% sure that this is a bad thing. Unless there is a transfer coming in that we haven't heard about it's a year of experience gone, but again, I think it could work out for the best in the long run. http://volleytalk.proboards.com/thread/75795/d1-transfers-2019?page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Tulsa wants to do with her, but she was a bust at setter for UND. Hopefully what it means is that Pryor has a real setter ready to play for 2019, and Rautio saw the writing on the wall.

It's not confirmed, and I haven't tracked down the source yet, but I suspect it's true. I wouldn't say she was a bust, but I thought she was predictable and easy to read. But it does leave another hole to fill. Looking back a year or so I think the loss of Merseli ended up being more of an issue than Griffin (relative comparison, both BIG losses). UND really needs a 6 rotation player who can sideout, pass, and hit from the pipe (there was no legitimate backrow option last year).

Calling her a bust might be a bit harsh, I'll admit, especially since she wasn't getting good passes. She seemed out of shape, and the amount of running that our poor passing forced her to do, plus the fact she kept having to wipe off her sweaty hands, made for the worst setter play I've even seen at UND in the DI era.

Dustin Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think the 2018 will be an anomaly. I hope so, anyways. I am certain we will have better setter play. I'd like to see what Morgan Hunt brings with her height (6-3). Ashley Bruggeman will need her best game every time she plays, and Alivia Fraase should give coach no doubt that she's the libero. Still a young team in '19, with 3 seniors and 2 juniors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flores must have been lonesome for home to go NAIA. The team environment must have been bad. I'm never surprised when someone wants to be closer to home, especially after their freshman year. I hope she's happy and it all works out for her. I have no first hand knowledge about the team chemistry, or lack of, but I wouldn't assume there was a team problem because she left. Lots of players in every sport just want to be closer to home. I do believe there was an issue earlier in the season, but that was addressed and I'm pretty sure won't be back next year.:-) I don't know the move is a big step down. Midland is a good team. They lost in the semis this year at the NAIA championships. I'm not sure where the best NAIA teams would fit in at the NCAA level. Maybe mid level D1 or upper level D2? It's just a guess, the physicality and size of the players just keeps going up with the higher levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan68 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 In December there was an article about a new hire at UND Volleyball, Jeremiah Tiffen as Associate Head Coach. As far as I can tell, there have been no updates to the Web site. Is he on campus and part of the staff? Also, have there been any official press releases on NLI's for incoming Freshman?

You took this program to new heights with conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances. Good luck to you and your family on your next quest. As for Bill Chaves, let’s get a coach as equally as good as Pryor and win the Summit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux>Bison Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dang I liked Pryor and what he did with the program. He really helped turn volleyball into a big time attraction on campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
