It sounds like Penn State target Alec Rothe, a 2024 middle blocker from Ohio, is close to making her college decision.

Alec Rothe just committed to Florida.

I'm guessing the differentiator between Penn State and Florida is that Florida has a returning setter in Alexis Stucky, SEC Freshman of the Year (per Ethan Kasales).

According to Brian Toron's Instagram, it looks like PSU is recruiting Anna Dodson, Temi Thomas-Ailara, and Kaylee Cox. All three would be very good gets.

It'll be really interesting to see how the coaches approach the portal this year. I don't see the team needing that intense of a rebuild/usage of the portal like last year but they are loosing some key pieces picked up via portal; Kash & Leisa, Katie C (prior year), Nasta (2 years ago). Omg just realized all our graduating players came through the program via the portal, very interesting. If PSU is recruiting the players above it seems like the obvious need is in a 6-ro terminal OH & middle. I personally would like to see either another experienced setter or backup, if the case is that Katie H is getting the reigns, be recruited via the portal. Potentially another RS? I know that has been an issue of not really having one this season since Katie C has been playing middle for when Zoe has struggled, not that she can't hold her own when she struggles, but it's nice to give a breather/clear the mind & it changes up the game a little. I would say in terms of defensive players, I can see our current players making major improvements and pushing each other to get better so we're probably good in that department. Curious to see what others think because if the portal was crazy last year I can only imagine how wild it'll be this year & years to come.

The limiting factor (as for all teams) will be scholarship availability. I don't know where that stands. (btw, I am the Master of the Obvious) 😎

I clicked on the link to the transfer portal. All I saw was a big spread sheet with no names in it. Is my browser the problem?

If you're referring to the spreadsheet that the "College VBall Transfers" site uploads... there's a "Players In The Portal" tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Btw, that spreadsheet is unofficial and might not be fully accurate, though fun to look at.

With Izzy Starck coming in 2024, I wouldn't have thought they'd go for a setter with three years left. But Buckley can also play as a pin hitter (as can Katie Hurta), so (a) maybe the plan is for a 6-2; or (b) maybe the plan is for Buckley or Hurta to move to the pin in 2024; or (c) maybe I'm completely in the dark. (Hint: pick "c")

She reminds me a lot of Simone Lee and would be able to play 6-rotations!
