Kolek planning to go pro
I was shocked to see them win, as I was at Al last Friday to see MU get beatdown by Rice.
Softball doesn't require that much space, I'm sure they could find room in the valley for a field. Loyola and DePaul, two schools with far less space, make it happen by doubling their soccer fields as softball fields.
Bump. Amanda Green signed today. From the same school at Taylor Louis. (Niles North) Saw Amanda play a few times and did not think she was good enough to get a D1 volleyball scholarship, Taylor was much better then she was in high school an she hasnt played at all this year. Interesting offer to say the least. Had Abdel Nader and Lorenzo Dillard not screwed up Marquette may have started a Niles North legacy.
I just don't know enough about high school girls volleyball to contribute. I've watched mu play a couple times this year and unfortunately I think they'll be taking a step back with bond leaving. bond was pretty determined.I do know that the boys wiaa volleyball tournament starts tomorrow with the quarterfinals beginning at 12:30 pm and running through the evening at Wisconsin Lutheran college. semifinals are at 10:30 and 12:30 on Saturday at wlc and the finals are at 6 pm at wlc.
Who are the volleyball powerhouses in Wisconsin besides Burlington? In Illinois its pretty much the same 8-10 teams every year.

Injuries have kind of screwed around with what Theis wanted to do this year, I think. Still looking like an NCAA team, though.On the topic of Bond, he has Iowa 1 game under .500 with 4 to play, and they've finished under .500 for the last 13 seasons.
Burlington is far from a powerhouse. They have had a couple of good years lately but I don't think they've ever won State. Marquette High is always the team to beat in the state. They have the 1 seed going into the State tournament (mainly because my little brother is their setter - kidding that's not "mainly" why). They win State on average probably 60% of the time and have made it there I believe like 15 straight years. Tosa East has made state I believe 7 of the last 8 years with 1 title in there. Catholic Memorial finished 2nd at state 3 years in a row at one point and makes it just about every year. As of late Middleton and Appleton North have been consistently the best teams in their areas of the state.
Good to see MUHS win the title. My roommate from MU has two sons that play on the team.
He getting recruited by anybody?
Bond was a much better recruiter as well. I've seen Amanda Green play (commit for next year) she's not good. Like even as a high school player she's not that good. Not even close to Taylor Louis in terms of skill lever and Taylor didn't play one point the entire year.
Do you think Taylor Louis may have redshirted, so that's why she didn't play? Maybe that's what they have in store for Green since they may return all but one player for next year.
If the rumors are true, Notre Dame just hit a home run in its coaching search. This is potentially a game changer in women's volleyball and ND could very well become a force in fairly short order.I would think that a strong program at ND would cause pretty significant waves in the Midwest which will affect the Big 10. It also obviously would pretty significantly affect the ACC.
