Tu's OH Melanie Parra is headed to the portal! I wonder since Morrison coached in Austin for a year could he sway some sips to play for us that wouldn't crack the rotation over there!
Another 5'11 OH is not what is needed here. That girl can serve and has a live arm, but not a difference maker.

If we had parra this year, we would've made the tournament.

absolutely not. she is not a plus hitter and a liability on the block.
at best, a role player, of which this program has too many.

OH2 is not a role player. And was, by far, our weakest position this year. If our pins had been Meuth, Logan and her, we would've had a much different offense ... Parra has one of, if not the, best serves in the country. And an incredibly live arm. In the semis when Texas was struggling and Phillips was in the 4, Elliott subbed her in and they set her immediately ... Is she perfect? No. Would she massively improve the quality of our gym? Absolutely.

agree she would definitely have improved the gym, which is important, but she is absolutely not an impact OH2 and would not have moved the needle enough to get this team into the NCAA's.

I hope the new staff is looking for more size and impact than Parra.

Volleyball talk!!! This is great. My last thing on this (I think). LSU made the tournament at 16-14 with a 9-9 SEC record. We were 13-16 and 5-13. We lost 3 five set matches in SEC play and also lost to Missouri late in the season. Flip those four matches and we are at least in the conversation for a bid. An upgrade at the OH2 spot would have done that IMO given how much we struggled at that spot and how much our offense became predictable given our complete reliance on Meuth and Logan (this is not meant to be a shot at CiCI or Mia) ... Maybe there will be 10 outsides in the portal better than Parra. Maybe. We can sell playing time and a new regime. Hopefully, that's enough to grab one of them.

Any movement on hiring a staff or potential portal transfers?

From what I've heard, sounds like the old staff is interviewing for jobs elsewhere.

I guess the path for them to be retained didn't go anywhere.

Not going to lie, this staff excites me! Building houston pipeline again with one of the top clubs in America while getting a solid former head coach from OU. Hoping this equates to big time names joining TAMU

Thank you. Those are the exact words I was hoping to hear y'all say.

Indeed this has so much potential. You have Jamie (a top coach with Houston Skyline among a host of other qualifications), Jen (founder of Houston Skyline, former Aggie player) and Lindsey (college head coach at a major university and recruiting prowess)...

Pretty obvious the program is recognizing the strength of club volleyball in Texas.

I heard this rumor a few days back but didnt want to comment if ity never materialized

Also heard the Dir of VB OPs is also a former player as well

Wonder what this does for Jen and Mitch in regards to Houston Skyline and its offshoot here in Aggieland?

Love the emphasis on culture and direction and that's something this staff seems to want to instill… can't wait to see the gears get rolling! Let's keep the top in state talent in Aggieland!

So does anyone have an idea of how their coaching assignments will probably go? It looks like they both have back row coaching in their bios.
Wicked Good Ag
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Coaches bios are not exactly what there primary focus is always

Sometimes a bio is written for press release purposes

The staff will figure out the roles of each member incling a volunter asst that comes into program

If A&M got all the top players from Houston Skyline, we would already be on the national map. We've had our fair share of great players recently (Camille Conner, Claire Jeter, Brooke Frazier, Logan Lednicky, Ava Underwood and a few others) but missed out on many of the truly elite players like the Skinner sisters, Karli Rose, Reagan Rutherford, and others. And several of the ones we did get have transferred, which happens everywhere nowadays. And the same could be said for a program that pulled all the top talent from TAV Dallas probably, or any number of other clubs across the America. But Jen and Mitch Woods (and others including Aggie Amy Houser Burk) have built Skyline into one of THE top clubs in the USA, and have been "recruiting" top players to their program since players were 12 and 13 years old. Matching playing style, court needs, scholarships and positions can be tricky at the college level, so you can't just steer everyone to one school. But I like the idea of having an inside track to the elite high school players. That being said, Bird had a great relationship with Skyline and other clubs as well, but hopefully the new regime will be able to sign a few more elite players each recruiting cycle instead of just great players. That's really all it takes, 2-3 elite players per year and couple of great players. And then keep them. And coach them.

A poster on the volleyball board hinted that we've already landed a very talented big10 transfer. That's all the details I have. Seems to be a former Skyline player

I don't know! I saw it from two different posters! One mentioned we've already landed a former Houston skyline girl and the other mentioned former Big10 girl. Either way, can't wait to see who it is

A quick glance at the Purdue 2022 roster shows Brielle Warren as an Outside who played for Houston Skyline...oh and happens to be the daughter of Ty Warren. Seems like she would fit in at A&M.

Someone should tag Billy to get on this. He's in charge of recruiting news. It's what I'm paying for.
Shucky

Brielle, OU Middle Morgan Perkins, LSU setter Maddie Waak, and Baylor DS/outside Alexis Dacosta all played with Logan and Ava on same club team at Skyline. Heck, in today's world, they might all be in play.

As mentioned earlier, Houston Skyline has been the cream of the crop in the "transfer portal" for years. Hoping that continues here.
