Very excited for the 2022 season!! Two great additions in Kashuana Williams and Taylor Trammell. Kashuana flys above the net and has one heck of an arm. Taylor is a blocking machine. I watched an interview with Dave Shondell on the Big Ten Network last spring. He mentioned Taylor improved tremendously during the fall of 2019, allowing her to fill in a much needed role for the spring season. Coach Shondell continued to praise Taylor stating that she has the potential to be the best middle hitter in the Big Ten one day. Furthermore, we have a solid group returning (I could say great things about all of them) and two solid freshman coming in. Alexa Markley has a whip of an arm and puts up a wall with that block of hers. In a recent recent highlight video, Mandi Morioka passes dimes in serve receive. She is wicked quick, with a nasty serve. Are we 100 percent certain that Jonni Parker is not returning next year?? (Not that I really want anyone to answer this question). If my memory serves me correct, last spring, Russ Rose was asked about the 2022 recruits/players using their extra year of Covid eligibility. He said that All-American players expressed interest in returning and we went from there. Pretty much alluding that the 2022 class would be small, as some juniors would be using their Covid eligibility. Furthermore, it has been mentioned that Parker is student teaching. I’m a teacher and completed my student teaching years ago. It’s a full time job and some. It pretty much consumed my life for 5 months. Furthermore, having my masters degree provides a nice pay bump (especially in these inflationary times). Is it possible that after the dust settles, she may decide to play a 5th year while earning her masters degree? I can only hope. I love watching Jonni play- she is one fierce competitor!! Not trying to stir the pot, take away from anyone- just some wishful thinking on my part. Regardless, the program/team is in great hands and I’m confident that good news will continue to flow our way! From what I hear, it sounds like she already accepted a teaching position back home in Ohio. It would have been awesome had she stayed the extra year - She's so fun to watch play. That said, good luck to her in her next chapter!  |

Should we take this as a message about status of setter and pins?
