Stucky Rumored to be Leaving Florida. Transfer to Pitt Volleyball?

[bellvision1]

Alexis Stucky is rumored to be looking for a way out of Florida. Her Instagram bio only reads "Athlete" now, no mention of Florida. She was out most of last year with a major injury, and has been splitting time with a freshman this fall. Her current sophomore status would make her a nice bridge to Isabella Hoppe '26.

Does anyone have an opinion on Haiti Tautua'a? She was okay in her few appearances in 2023. Can we safely ignore any big name transfers in the setter position?

I like Haiti and think she is the future at the setter position at Pitt. Stucky played with Bre, and Fish coached her on the USWNT volleyball, It was U21 in 2023 the Pan Am Cup (Rachel and Bre were on that team). So there is some history there.

Very interesting.....the portal goes 'live' at the end of this month as soon as the season ends.....so we'll see. Her injury was in September, 2023....torn ACL/MCL and occurred almost at the same time Bre Kelley went down with her season ending injury. She was one of the most highly rated recruits in the country in 2021.

Competition is good and would raise the level of the two setters. And it would strengthen the team. I’d be all for this.

Does anyone know the type of injury Haiti had that led to her redshirt?

She had a knee ligament injury from what I read.

Assuming that she's playing, you can watch Alexis play tonight as Florida is at Auburn at 7:00 pm on SECN.

I watched some of it.. didn’t see her play, showed her with teammates in the corner numerous times
Announcers mentioned it a few times… something is going on

Alexis played in the first and second set. Then, Mary Wise substituted a freshman setter, Taylor Parks, who was a 1st Team AA last year in high school. Alexis never returned to the court for the remainder of the match.

Mary Wise used a similar substitution pattern in Florida's last match also, with Alexis not seeing any more court time at a certain point in the match.

One Florida reporter commented that Alexis' mobility is not what it was before her knee injury (she wears a leg brace for support now).

I should also point out that Taylor Parks played well earlier in the season while Alexis was still rehabbing.

Fair enough, I tuned in late after I saw your post … thanks for the rundown

I looked at Florida's stats for the last five games. Two games were roughly shared between Parks and Stucky. One game was all Stucky. Two games were all Parks.

I should have read this before I posted my questions on the board. It couldn't hurt to bring in an experienced setter. Would only heighten the play from Haiti as well.

Besides the fact that most volleyball players would love to play for Dan Fisher, can you imagine the appeal of setting for Babcock, Stafford, Kelley, Jones and Bayless next season. Fisher should have his pick of portal transfer setters.
