With Campbell, vicini, and both smiths on the roster in 2020 Stanford MBs will be the deepest in the country by far. What about 2021 if you add Francis? Plus Kipp, who is still in the process of converting from MB? One of them is bound to move o the right, 5 top 20 middles on one team?? If I were Francis I’m not sure I’d expect to play until my junior / senior year.

Is oglivie 2021? I always thought she was 2020. Maybe she’s young? I watched her when we played USA and she was on the top team with all girls from the 2021 class. But I thought people on here say she’s 2020. So I guess she’s young for her grade or she’s actually a 2021 and I’m making this up. Never mind, I looked and it says she’s 2020. Weird, a lot of girls on her USA team were 2021

What about McClure at libero for 2020 a la Kelli Bates? Formico is a solid DS, but I think McClure is quicker. How good is the libero recruit from Hawaii supposed to be? If not Hentz, is she at least Gabi Ailes? Regardless, there seems to be a lot of talent coming Hambly’s way. He’ll have some interesting choices to make. #coaching

Plus Kipp, who is still in the process of converting from MB? I thought Francis was converting to the pin? I’ll say this. One of the biggest issues with Stanford over the last decade was depth. If Stanford somehow manages to get all these players to campus, depth won’t be an issue. A 2022 lineup of: OH: Baird, Francis RS: Kipp MB: Smith/Smith/Vincini S: Xu/Miner Seems kinda sick. But Nebraska already has a dream team for 2022, so I suppose the Cardinal has to keep pace 🤣

But she hits for club and hs so I haven’t seen her play libero yet. People get mad at me for saying it but I don’t see formico as a good option at libero. Maybe good is the wrong word. I think k she is good, but I don’t see her I guess as a libero who can change the game the way liberos at the top programs do (hentz, lake, Maloney, white). Formico doesn’t seem good enough for Stanford TO ME. I know everyone is about to quote me and say “she could be libero at most top 20 programs” ok.... idc. it’s my opinion.

Francis will not be better on the left as a freshman than McClure as a senior.

A couple years ago I would have for sure agreed with you, but not now. Both are very good! So is L. Smith for sure Stanford bound? From what I’ve heard yes. No one that good in her grade is till uncommitted. We will know in 2 months but everyone, even 17s club players, are saying she’s going to Stanford. Also just realized Stanford will have 3 middles from Texas out of 4 rostered middles in 2020. Winder how Elliot feels about Stanford starting to pick up his coveted tav girls. I’m sure Elliot is not losing sleep at night. He doesn’t have any need for a 2020 middle, and he’s landed either Texas’ top rated MB talent or a HIGHER rated MB outside of the state pretty much every year for the last decade.

'Tis rare I wholeheartedly agree with Gavin, but I've suggested this too: also to be 'shot' at. Afa Kate, she is still developing, imo, and HAS shown improvement over 2 yrs.

You need at least three passers in all rotations. One can be the libero and one can be the DSs for the two MBs. But you generally need to have either one of your outside hitters pass 6 positions or maybe the two OHs pass 3. McClure is one of the best 6 position passing OHs in the NCAA. You can always find a libero who can pass well. Finding a good front row player who is a championship caliber passer is much harder. McClure is going to play OH all 4 years as a 6 rotation starter.
