Saw over on Volleytalk that apparently MB Regan Haith was injured and may not be available for the 2025 season. Anyone here that can confirm that or have more info? If true that’s a big concern.
Also saw that we just flipped the star freshman setter signee away from Kansas in the last day or two, Kendall Cook, from Texas. Very highly regarded.
She just signed with Kansas in November. Apparently a casualty from the coaching change fallout at KU. Their longtime coach recently retired, and they just hired the coach from Oregon, which is a really good hire for them. However now dominoes are falling like they typically do on these situations. He brought along with him his setter from Oregon, who is expected to start, and that was surely a factor with Cook signing with us before she played a game at Kansas. Obviously not an immediate need here, with Crownover and Dudley for 2 more seasons, so maybe Cook redshirts?
Also with the Oregon coach getting hired at Kansas, other Oregon players are reportedly looking for different teams, and there are rumors that Mizzou is still getting campus visits from several players, including a very good MB who transfered from USC to Oregon. Could be good news for us if we can flip her too, particularly as that is a position of need if in fact Haith is injured. Oregon and Kansas are both high quality programs.
Any additional info on these goings on with the VB program would be appreciated. The current roster on the website has 18 players, Cook would be 19, and if we pick up at least one more transfer we would be at 20, 2 over the new roster limit.
