Newly appointed head coach Dan Meske wasted no time getting to work. His first priority? Visiting Louisville’s future stars. He completed home visits with 2025 commits Addison Makun and Chloe Meester, as well as 2026 commits Blair Thiebaud, Amirra Bailey, Elli Strecker, and Jordyn Gray, ensuring each athlete felt confident in their decision.
When news broke that former head coach Dani Busboom Kelly was moving on, the volleyball world buzzed with speculation. But the transition between Louisville and Nebraska’s programs was nothing short of seamless—something few expected but many admired.
Meske and his staff moved swiftly to reassure future Cardinals that the program’s core values and winning tradition were here to stay. In an impressive and efficient turnaround, they secured each previous commitment, solidifying Louisville’s future in just a matter of days.
The message was clear: the Cards aren’t going anywhere.
