These two appear to be a good follow-on to this year's class.  Theis makes clear he expects Gilleland to have much the same impact as a freshman that Lamberti has had this year...

Not sure I understand your concern, Borna...

As far as the two new signees, I have not talked to the coaching staff about Bull, but supposedly Gilleland is the real deal.

As far as who is NOT here anymore ...are you concerned about graduates?  Attrition?  Recruiting? 

The 2012-13 senior class will be Leah and Faith.  Lexie was in that class but red-shirted her freshman year.  The  other two freshmen that year were Raines and Jordan, both walk-ons and no longer on the team.

Ask and ye shall receive, Borna.

Here's how I have it...I have only included future players who are signed, not verbals:

EDIT:  Not included is a transfer out of last year's freshman class, Lauren Seyller.  She has played all 31 matches for Evansville this year.

nor really concerned about those leaving the program.  as noted, they leave all the time from even the best programs, and do so for a variety of reasons.  Don't recall any real important players moving on...

not worried about where players come from, either.   when you bring in talents like Lamberti (Gatorade POY in Illinois, a talent-rich state), Karst (Underarmour All American second team)  and Bilger, who cares whether they're from Ohio or not?  I also believe Theis came here with few, if any,  Ohio connections.  Again, much more concerned with the type of kid they are and how they play...

I agree totally grandad. I have become veryattached to this program after having found my son at the volley house most of his freshman year. Great kids, great group of girls. Reminds me of the 90's BSU clubs I took care of as team physician. Those girls are always welcome and stop in the office when they are back in Muncie. Can't say the same about the current crop as I think recruiting locally has seen a mixed bag of girls in and out of Muncie. Much different than the gals Ryan and Geoff brought to Athens.

I have a great deal of respect for the girls Ryan recrutied even when he was at Florida going after our Munciana elites. Taylor Unroe was one of his most recent down there and was a great kid with a great family. Same thing at Ohio. Sellyer transfe was one of those I could not remember her name but I liked her personality and game a lot.  I think the question of those girls who do not play is legit as there has been an amping up of talent. with 2014 recruits being off the chart the question surrounding the PT is always  a legit one. We have one of our Muncie gals up at Pan nState who won a national championship her freshman year, sustained an injury and cant get back on the court. Do you stay at PSU and work hard or do you go to another school and play it out before heading off to Europe as a pro?

Interesting thread, but surely not what I was aiming for as I was thinking about faces I miss after sitting through another Senior Night.

Congrats to Abby, a first team all state selection by the Chicago Tribune!
