( Unfortunately, still not a Middle.) Minnesota volleyball just announced the addition of 6-2 redshirt freshman (4 yrs of eligibility left), Leftside Hitter Alex Acevedo from the portal, transferring from Oregon. In high school, Acevedo led Skyview to three consecutive Idaho 4A state Championships, was named Idaho Player of the Year, and was rated, by PrepVolleyball, the #13 recruit nationally.
I haven’t seen Acevedo play, and I am not familiar with the quality of HS Volleyball in Idaho, but Harmon Killebrew was from Idaho, and he was pretty good. Judging solely from her resume, I’m guessing that Acevedo will begin the coming season as our #3 Leftside, behind Hanson, in front of Olivia Swenson. BUT, if it turns out that she is a Wenaas-quality receiver, and can hit a little, she might work her way into the starting rotation by mid season.
WE STILL NEED A MIDDLE!
