Does UNT have a volleyball program?

[GrandGreen]

I know they do and hopefully a very good one, however I wonder about the total lack of coverage after hiring a new head coach.

They have apparently signed players, but without any mention at all on the UNT site.  The UNT official site does not even include a current roster.

I really wonder about UNT sports information department.  Makes a big deal of hiring a coach with frankly scant coaching credentials and then follows it up with nothing. 

There are a few out here that actually enjoy following the so called non-revenue sports.  It seems that NT would report any news that just might create some interest.

They just posted a schedule for next year with two unidentified players.  It would be nice if they would post a roster, I don't understand why this seems to be so difficult.

I love volleyball and I'm looking forward to seeing this year's team. Wren has a history of hiring great coaches (McCasland and DeLong). Now I looking forward to seeing what our new volleyball and track coaches can do.

What's up with all the Sunday games? Didn't more used to be on Saturday? Would be great if some of the home games lined up with football games later in the day.

Mean Green Sports had a long interview with the new head volleyball coach earlier this year.  Hank did the interview.

I think we do.  They just announced some summer camps on meangreensports.com although we still don't have a roster posted.

Saw that interview and was impressed by the new coach, however still don't understand the lack of coverage since that point.

They now have a roster on the official site with 21 players listed including 3 from McNeese.

Looks like a pretty big roster shake up.

There are 21 players listed on the roster, which means there are lots of walk-ons or going to be some players gone.

Volleyball has a max of 12 ships and partial ships are not allowed.

I think I recognized three names off of last year’s roster and it appears there are a number of transfers. Not sure how they are going to manage cutting the roster down. Oh well, should be interesting.

She has signed several players from McNeese State. They did beat us last year when she was coaching there, but were they that much better than us for her to bring so many players from that program here?

It looks like the last few years we had between 15 and 18 on the roster.  Twenty-one does seem like a lot.
