Congratulations to Laura for a great career so far!

So far?

I'm gonna miss watching her play. What a great athlete.

Olmpics? pro VB? Kinda like Sykora.

How much weaker will we be next season without her? She was way above our other players.

I think our younger players will step up. We've had this in the past...after Sykora and Woolsey leaving. I will also miss Kendra big time. She progressed 500% since coming to campus, and she truly made an impact.

BTW - Mary Batis will be starting college this spring - foregoing her final semester of H.S. and final season of club vball w/ Alamo. Prepvolleyball.com had a Q/A with her. Glad to see she's starting on her Aggie career already...bring it on girl!

Laura has signed to play professional volleyball in Puerto Rico with Pinkin (Corozal). She will play outside hitter opposite Stanford alum Ogonna Nnamani.

From the Pinkin website [English translation mine]:

"American Laura Jones will be the second new signee to boost team Pinkin for the 2006 season. The 6'2" young lady from Texas is coming off a standout career in NCAA Division 1 volleyball at Texas A&M University.

As one of the best outside hitters nationally, Jones was selected to the All-Big12 team, finishing the year as one of the most successful attackers in the 2005 women's season."

Congratulations to Laura on this exciting continuation of her career!
