I will simply say that playing D3 is a lot different than having to consistently hit against 6'-2", 6'-3", 6'-4', etc. front row players in the Big Ten. And I'll believe Kuper as a planned option out of the back row, or front row, when I see it.

If Vrankovic is as good as Quade right now, then there's no limit on how good this year's team could be.

That could well be. Seems like they are most likely going to go with one of Hinton, Holzman, or Swanson in that role. With Holzman being the national player of the year, even if she hasn't been a natural MB to this point, I'd think she at least has a shot to grab MB #2, or OH #4 from Prince.

Kuper is all of 5'-8" and had a grand total of 3 kills last year (probably on well placed dinks). She's not hitting out the back row or the front row. The only two on the roster the the setters will go to out of the back are Quade and probably Vrankovic, which is why I'd expect them to be...

Who their 2nd MB will be might be the most interesting question. Based on what the university has put out, they list Fleming as the only returning MB, they list Swanson (Fr.) and Hinton (Fr.) as MBs, Collins (Fr.) as an OH and they list Holzman (Fr.) as both an OH and a MB...

I expect that Tamas will run a 6-2 offense with both Allison and Brown in the rotation and setting from the back row. With Quade, Vrankovic, Cooney, and Prince as OHs/OPPs; Fleming and Holzman as MBs; two of Kuper, O'Brien,and Welsh as DS; and Allison and Brown as S, Tamas has all the tools he...
