2025 Season

[undVBfan]

It's begun. Washington is in the portal. I expect more to follow. She's not surprising, her playing time was next to nothing compared to last year. She's a little undersized, but has good hops. She seemed to connect well with Norris and Timperley last year, so this year was a surprise. There never seemed to be a solid connection with the setter at any point this year, so I have no idea what happened. 🤷‍♂️I do believe overall they tried too hard to run in-system sets with out-of-system passes, so consistent connections with anyone were scarce.

Any idea of when they will post the job?

Missed this earlier.

How is it possible UND would still be paying him in 2025? Tupac has been here for 4 years. When Tiffin was let go he supposedly had a year left on his contract. With a salary of $100,000 (nice round number) would UND pay him ~$2000/month for 48 months?

I meant Tupac sorry

Got it. Then, to quote Miss Emily Litella, "Nevermind." 

For what it's worth, Tiffin is coaching at D3 Schreiner University in Kerrville TX. No, I had never heard of it either. 🙂They went 24-7 this year.

See Rugley is in the portal. She was a freshman who played most of the matches. I thought I heard she had an owie during the season, so maybe she would have played in every match. She's the second middle to depart and the middle who saw the most time on court.

We desperately need experienced physical middles. I thought Galvan was doing some nice things the later part of the season, so keeping her will be important. Rivera saw some action, but not a ton. She needs to be more physical. And everyone needs to figure out how to connect with the setter(s).

This entire program is one big owie right now.

NCAA Quarterfinals were this past weekend.  Kentucky beat Creighton, Wisconsin beat Texas (in Austin), Texas A&M beat Nebraska (in Lincoln), and Pitt beat Purdue to become the Final Four.  Some great matches.  Set 4 of T A&M vs. UNL went to 37-35 (!!!)  I'd snag an assistant from either Wisconsin, Nebraska, or Creighton to head UND's program.
