2026 is a monster class for Pitt.

From a frequent poster on Volleytalk

“
That is 5 players that could be top 50 in the class - probably top 100.

If I was ranking as of now - I would fit Smallwood behind Watson and Hoppe. Watson is a blue chip 5-star recruit for sure. Hoppe and Smallwood are darn good.”

Love the fact that her hometown is only about an hour south of Louisville.....essentially the backyard of our #1 rival!

Genuinely marvel at what they're going to do with Masten after a few months in our gym.

She's the talent at libero we've needed to get over the Final 4 hump but she's so explosive vertically that I don't know how she doesn't get swings. Plus she has a nice jump serve.

I am way behind on the news cycle. We're here worrying about another OH this fall and the staff is still out plugging away to bring in 2026 players.

I suspect Fish will fill more holes in this 2025 roster during the next transfer portal window:

• Open: Sunday, April 27, 2025
  
  
• Close: Monday, May 26, 2025

Completely agree with you.....there is clearly room for 1 or probably 2 more roster spots for this year. I will be really surprised if Fisher goes into the '25 season with the roster complete as it is right now. We'll have the answer to that by the end of May. My guess remains an OH and L/DS.

Does anyone know if Brooke Mosher is with the team ? She seems absent from Pitt VB social media - curious if she’s practicing with the team yet

They said during the broadcast that she will be at Pitt in July.

The only issue I ever have seen raised about Hoppe is her height, which raises a question about her ability to block from the front row.

Someone on volleytalk rumored that Izzy Masten might reclassify. That would be interesting.

A poster on VolleyTalk with a lot of seemingly inside Nebraska info posted a few months ago that while he was still coaching Nebraska, Cook said that Watson was the 2026 recruit he most wanted. He thinks she is undervalued as the #5 recruit in the class and should be #1.
