Brown was quicker with a higher lift, was more athletic, and definitely had a quicker armswing. Other than that they are identical. RR will do wonders with Thelen just like he did with Brown. Its simply remarkable that you would say these things. You state "Brown was quicker, with a higher life (whatever that means) and was more athletic. Have you seen Thelen play outside the highlight video?, did you ever see Brown play in the middle in HS/Club?, did you see Browns armswing as a HS sophomore? I'm guessing no, no, no, and no. While I welcome people's opinions, you cant offer them, Or should I say you shouldn't, if you never saw them. I don't get how anyone could make comparison of two HS players in which he hasn't seen play.

Yes, I've seen them both play. So are you agreeing with me, which you would hate to do or simply raining on my ability to offer an opinion? I hope I am completely wrong on Thelen.

ok, I give up. What is similar to Brown? Same height, same build, both started off as middles but moved to the right. Brown's armswing is quicker but they're still very similar players. 6'3" = 6'5"...?

As I clearly stated, I respect peoples opinion, even if I totally disagree with them. People making statements or comparisons on athletes they never saw is another thing. Well, now you are being completely dishonest. There is NO WAY you saw Brown play as a HS Sophmore, and no way other than the highlight tape that you have seen Thelen play. You were comparing the two players at this stage of their careers without ever seeing them play. There is a big difference between trying to get in on a conversation because you are a fan, and out and out lying.

Why can't you just be a fan? You make yourself look ridiculous when you speak to things you simply don't know what you are talking about. You said same height and build, they aren't, you said both were middles then became RS's, Thelen isn't.......... Just say, "she looks good on the video I hope she continues to develop" ?

I never said I saw Brown play before college, sorry if I implied that. The thing is that Brown has a certain quickness about her which I didn't see in Thelen. Perhaps I just caught her play on an off day.

Here's all I want to say as a casual observer of this board....Welcome to Volleytalk and Penn State Volleyball young lady, where you will be adored, picked apart, compared to a million other players, and caught in the middle of crazy ramblings by people who know alot, and people who know nothing at all. Ignore it all. It's just the way this works. And all this comes years before you ever step foot on the court.

I am impressed that so many of the commentators know so much about a Canadian player and can make comparisons rightly or wrongly when I wonder how often you have seen her play? As for never playing you must have a real special crystal ball!
