[QUOTE="oldman, post: 1466452, member: 621474"] One only has to watch a D3 match to see 5'8" and 5'9" players hitting with authority out of the back row. Kuper was a first year player last year and had a lot to learn. As she becomes more comfortable and versatile the likelihood that she will become a weapon out of the back row increases. I agree that if a freshman starts in the middle next year Swanson is the most likely person to fill that role. Offenses in the BIG are unbelievably faster than anything a freshman has seen playing club. It is probably the toughest position to play as a first year player. Ali was primarily a blocker and provided very little offense in her freshman year, but was one of the best middles in the country her junior and senior year. Swanson is bigger than HInton and Holzman and has more high level experience blocking middle. [/QUOTE]
