Once again the top volleyball player in Kentucky ( the Gatorade player of the year in Kentucky) is from Assumption High School. Kristin Simon who would be a good replacement for Elena Scott is not going to Louisville instead she will be going to Wisconsin. I don’t know why we are losing the top players in Kentucky ( seems like they are all from Louisville) to the other top schools in the country. I would have loved to have had her, a Louisville kid who is ranked as one of the best in the country who plays the same position as Elena Scott and we can’t get her.
We lose another

- Start date
Would be interesting to hear why. Could be some just want to go away for college. Maybe she got good NIL. Maybe the opportunity to play is more immediately available. My understanding is Shrand is more than ready to step into Scott’s vacancy and she has two years left (I believe).
Some youngsters out of high school want to travel outside their hometown. They want to have somewhere that may become a 2nd home. I was like this as a 18 year old looking to go to college.
I was close to attending Dayton but out of state costs eventually halted that. I ended up going to WKU and I was a Cards fan. I just wanted to experience somewhere else, knowing Louisville would always be my home.
Well, a year at WKU didn't do it for me, so I ended up enlisting in the US Army. I got my traveling in and after six years, I've been in Louisville ever since.
This VB player may be a Cards fan but wants to experience life outside of Louisville?

Speaking from one Amy Vet (Vietnam-Era) to another, thank you for your service to our Country, Mr. Realville.
And back at you. I enlisted in 1986 and lived in South Carolina, Texas and Georgia. Seems like a thousand years ago.
This just seems to be a trend for the past 3 years now, top Louisville volleyball players are going to other programs when one of the top programs is right here. In this recent case if she is as good as she is ranked Louisville is the perfect opportunity for her since Scott has graduated. I really don’t remember Schrand getting that much playing time at the libero position.
