Ok so now that all the important Pac-10 matches are out of the way, lets have some fun and put together the perfect pac-10 team and the close runner up. What 6 girls would be the most dominant on the floor together. The first team probably won't differ to much, but the second teams should be interesting
My Choice
First Team
Setter: Courtney Thompson-UW
Libero: Deborah Siellhammer- USC
OH: Asia Kaczor- USC
OH: Kristen Richards- Stanford
MB: Nana Meriwether- UCLA
MB: Dominique Lamb- Arizona
Second Team
Setter: Nellie Spicer- UCLA
Libero: Tamri Miyashiro- UW
OH: Christal Morrison- UW
OH: Cynthia Barboza- Stanford
MB: Foluke Akinradewo- Stanford
MB: Ellen Orchard- Cal
mmm even a match between these two teams would be a really close 5 gamer, but I'd give it to the first team because of sheer experience... almost all of them are graduating this year lol.

so who takes PAC-10 player of the year honors?
from the matches i've seen, i'd say it goes to either of this trio:
Meriwether
Barboza
Morrison
... in that order.

Perfection does not exist.
Perfection is boring.
Flaws are what make life interesting and tolerable.
Thanks, in advance.

I'd go with Meriwether as well. Even in UCLA's losses, she continued to be statistically dominant. I know numbers don't tell the whole story, but the sheer magnitude of her hitting % and blocks/game cannot be overlooked. Who else can come close?

Nana Meriweather is not a good defensive player. She is more offensive....and we all know that. The PAC-10 Player of the Year will definitely go to Morrison. Now personally...I would rather see it go to a setter like Thompson or Spicer.

Now personally...I would rather see it go to a setter like Thompson or Spicer. Meriwether's second in the country in blocks per game! by your standards then, no middle blocker is worth a damn defensively.... well except maybe the one player ranked above Meriwether... ?? |

I guess the problem with the initial post is that 6 players including libero would not make a playable team; you'd need 7 and specify who's the opposite.
Also - Angie Pressey is where?

Now personally...I would rather see it go to a setter like Thompson or Spicer. I was very disapointed in how courtney played aginst stanford tonight. Kehoe stole her thunder in every catagory, and when they played UCLA Spicer was the better setter too. So is CT is great as everyone makes her out to be? |
