Just to make my point. THIS year's roster (let alone last year): Jordan Hopp (Iowa State) Addie Lyon (St Louis) Emmi Sellman (Ohio State) Caroline Jurevicius (Nebraska) Kennedy Martin (Florida) Maggie Mendelsohn (Nebraska) That's 314 of their 354 kills. 772 of their 856 attacks. Good thing...

Nothing nefarious no doubt. I just don't like these programs built by grabbing players developed in other places.

It's always going to be the big "what if." What if Hugh had stayed for another couple of years, at least?

Interesting to see the career trajectories of the last two frosh setters who led their respective teams to a NC. I do not like how Penn State is running their program. It's a shame that this has happened to one of their actual recruits. I wish her the best.

Well, you have to like how clean they played in the Lipscomb match, but still not seeing the rightside offense or the floor defense they are going to need to compete with top 20 teams. I'm still not convinced this is fixable. Not this season anyhow. One can hope ...

It's the Skylar Gray delusion.

Looked very good, especially passing, which is priority.

Sorry to say I agree with you. Not sure why she won't/can't swing freely and more effectively, but it just hasn't happened. Situational blocker maybe?

They really need to find some offense from the right side. I thought Garr was excellent, although I was surprised she got the nod over Thibault (who has been playing really well this season). Is Crowl injured? I don't think she should be starting but I'm really surprised she has not played at...

Assuming she likes it here and/or at the U to spend a 5th year away from Turkey.

So I assume Thibault is now libero and Garr is top DS. Can't really call Acevedo a DS at this point.

This team could use some good fortune one of these seasons.

Has Lavelle written about volleyball prior to this?

We had our moments, Gorf and I.

Always nice to not be forgotten.

I'm assuming that Noelle Van Oort for Ball State is Yvonne Wichert Van Oort's kid. So that's cool.

Maybe I'm wrong (and I'm not going to doublecheck) but I believe Crowl had ONE block against TAMU. To be fair -- which I sometimes can be -- she only had 14 swings and blocking is a lot more than just block kills. Touches are important too. But I'm not rewatching to see how she did in that...

TAMU service got better and better and Gophers went the opposite direction. Add that to too little offense and now yet another program has moved ahead of Minnesota. But I'll spare you the negativity. Sorry. Hope things turn around.

Bad lineup choices IMO. But what do I know? No reason why TAMU should sideout at this % either.
