Here is how I have it breaking down. S: Mortland OH: Ferriter OH: Vega MB: Coniglio MB: Laswatch RS: Kuhn Libero: Chang Guys like Wexter and Storm have a lot to prove this year after last season's disappointing finish. I also believe Mckee is headed towards big year for Baruch

Is Joe Yasilonas playing for Juniata this year? He was buried on the Penn State bench and off last year, but if he is eligible and ready to go, that's a player with a lot of potential.
Reports are the Markuson played well in Brazil with the D3 All-Stars this summer, so if Riv has a setter to take over for Visentin, then he should be up for another big year.
Nick Smith at Baruch is much improved this fall. Not sure he's in Ferriter and Markuson's league yet but he's a lot closer.
How good is Alec Redlich at Lakeland? He put up big numbers last season in club. Can he be that productive this year?

It will be interesting to see how good Lakeland, Marymount, and Dominican can do. Seems like Lakeland has the upper hand already having a solid club team there already established.

Yeah I am not positive. I talked to him last year before season, but haven't talked to him since. My guess is he isn't playing. It's so interesting to see what an NCAA tourney has done to D3 volleyball. I sure liked getting to play Penn State! It's still a competitive schedule. I definitely hope to see Bortak's name for All American come the end of their season!
Where is it being hosted this year!?

Can't recall a year that the national champs let alone back to back champs have not been #1 so I expect that to be the same. Whether they wind up there end of the year who knows.
They lose Falcone. Thats tough to say the least. But I think the main thing to remember is not the great talent they are bringing back, or the experiences they had playing in Russia this Summer, but as long as Charlie is there they will be at least a contender IMO.

My major question for this season is will stevens tech be able to develop throughout the year...no disrespect intended i have talked with a few guys like seifert, evans, and bennet and they all say the same they are some of the more talented players in d3 and the coaching staff is completely unable to make them as dangerous as they should be every year

Heard a rumor that Evans and Bennet won't be playing for Stevens this year because of internship commitments. I checked the Stevens website and they're not listed on the roster. That would be a huge loss for Stevens this year.

That would be a huge loss for Stevens this year. I just heard the same thing a few days ago. Sounds like Evans plans on red shirting since he plans to graduate in 5 years.
