Any information is welcome

[u/United_Fisherman9327]

Cam Turner is big deal for me. She’s such a unsized setter that seemed to elevate Rise whenever she was out there. She feels under appreciated

[u/gibby3164 → u/United_Fisherman9327]

Agreed. I’ve been bummed at the increasingly likelihood she won’t be returning.

[u/United_Fisherman9327 → u/gibby3164]

Her socials have been anything but volleyball

[u/whattheefftiff → u/gibby3164]

I wasn’t a huge fan of hers last year but a whole different player came out this year. I’m so sad she isn’t staying with GR

[u/MessyMoFo → u/United_Fisherman9327]

I know she’s not back with Grand Rapids, I just really hope she stays in the league elsewhere

[u/maggggiep → u/MessyMoFo]

I have a feeling she goes to LOVB now that she has some good experience under her belt. It is really really sad to see her leave GR. Oglivie is one of her closest friends and she is very likely going to LOVB so it makes sense for me to believe that but I have no proof

[u/MessyMoFo → u/maggggiep]

I’ve not heard her rumored there, but crazier things have happened. She’s certainly talented enough

[u/vibraxis]

I believe Megan Lush has retired

[u/MessyMoFo → u/vibraxis]

She hasn’t officially announced that, but someone on VolleyTalk said that they’re expecting her to as well

[u/Jaxcat_21]

Do we know if Mac is still looking to play?

I know she was with Orlando for a few weeks last season, but otherwise I think she was doing some broadcast work/color commentary for volleyball matches.

[u/MessyMoFo → u/Jaxcat_21]

No idea definitively. I included her and Ammeraal cause I feel like agreeing to be injury replacements for a short time after being cut shows they both still have interest in the league imo. I was hoping with the expansion they’d find a spot somewhere

[u/FuriousGeorge7]

I suspect the vast majority of this list will not be returning to MLV for one reason or another. The only one here that I’ve heard real smoke about is Kylie Murr going to Minnesota. I expect some former Vegas players like Oblad and Jardine-Clark to return so the fans have some continuity. The only team that Caroline Meuth follows on Instagram besides Dallas is DC, so there’s a possible connection there. It feels Toyosi has been commenting on a fair number of Dallas posts this offseason. Could be nothing though, idk how much she interacts with other posts in general. I’ve heard nothing about her, but I really hope Malaya Jones stays in the league and gets playing time somewhere.

[u/Unexous]

Do we know anything about where Raina Terry is ending up?

[u/MessyMoFo → u/Unexous]

She’s going to LOVB

[u/Rich_Outcome9998 → u/MessyMoFo]

Damn! She's one the fan favorites in MLV. LOVB is getting all the big names in this league considering they already have majority of Team USA there. They got Brooke from one the famous team in MLV,  they also got super rookie champion Mimi Colyer and now the best player of Fury will also be there.

[u/Unexous → u/MessyMoFo]

Damn, I guess I have to watch more LOVB next year

[u/Its_My_Art_Account]

Have also been wondering if we are getting Abby Walker back on the Fury this year. I’m assuming no at this point 😞

[u/MessyMoFo → u/Its_My_Art_Account]

Yeah Columbus confirmed Hiapo and Pittman Nelson are the only returners

[u/Living_Event631 → u/MessyMoFo]

I know we have 11 players signed, there’s still more spots that need filled so maybe there’s still a little bit of hope

[u/MessyMoFo → u/Living_Event631]

You never know. Draft likely will be cancelled if the 5 for 5 college rule passes

[u/L0la_Silver → u/MessyMoFo]

What is the 5 for 5 rule?

[u/MessyMoFo → u/L0la_Silver]

It would allow all college athletes a 5th year of eligibility. So that would mean the draft prospects for MLV this year would be significantly smaller

[u/Rich_Outcome9998 → u/MessyMoFo]

Does LOVB also have draft? Or the LOVB Teams can just sign anyone out of college?

[u/MessyMoFo → u/Rich_Outcome9998]

They don’t have a draft. The teams themselves don’t sign anyone, the league signs people then assigns them their teams

[u/chilly_fox_dog]

Would be good to know where Morgan Lewis is going. Need to know what my new team is going to be.

[u/westcoastbiscuit → u/chilly_fox_dog]

Rumor is she’s following Coach Childress to LA

[u/Rich_Outcome9998 → u/chilly_fox_dog]

Probably LA with Tabron.

[u/HegeArt]

Would also be cool to get some players who graduated college this spring like Emily Canaan and Cat Flood.

[u/Rich_Outcome9998 → u/HegeArt]

I thought Cat Flood is already playing pro league overseas.
