Villapando is a baller! There’s the 2021 Smith twins from SoCal getting a lot of Buzz! They both play indoor for Tstreet and one of the girls is in the USA high performance program. Rumored Stanford/SC recruits. A ton of top indoor talent here in SoCal choosing to go beach only. Is it just me or is the way she is landing on that left leg (the indoor film) after she strikes an ACL waiting to happen? I know NOTHING about technique which is why I'm asking. Just doesn't look right to me... Not just you. I found myself wincing a lot, and then I stopped watching. Powerful hitter, though - and nice back row attack.

Just hoping folks close to her are seeing and working on fixing that. Would hate to see her lose a season rehabbing!!

I know it's probably 99% not happening but can you imagine if we had Lexi Sun playing opposite of Plummer on the left. My guess is probably 100% not happening. If she did transfer to Stanford it would be the first time a volleyball player transferred into the program. There were players in the past who asked about it but Dunning said it was against their policy. Maybe Hambly changes that. In any event my bet is Sun ends up in SoCal.

I would like to see Hambly invite Villapando into the gym and see what she can do. I like Formico but at times I got annoyed with her missing serves at inopportune times.

It might be fixable due to the evident flaw, namely a "chicken wing" elbow. However, not sure if that is due to some injury in the past and she has a hard time straightening it. IMO she wouldn't be a good passer if she couldn't straighten out her arm close to 100%. Hence, the "chicken wing" serve technique is probably fixable.

I would too, but I believe (and would expect) her to be on scholarship for beach. If so, she is not allowed to join the indoor team

If so, she is not allowed to join the indoor team I believe she could join, but not until her junior year, and she would count against the 12 scholarship limit for the indoor team.

The Texas program is far from perfect, but at least we aren't the type of program that ignores concussion protocol, forces a player with concussion symptoms to play in matches against her better judgement, and then ships her off to England as part of a study-abroad program in order to sweep everything under the rug hoping to avoid any kind of lawsuits. CC: Stanford fans. Thems fightin' words. Just gonna put that right here for you all to see....

If they want to throw shade at the Cardinal program, let 'em. We at least have players who can pass <ducks and runs for cover>.
