She was walking fine and not wearing a boot. She wasn't jumping in the circle-hop, however. If she's back in time for spot duty at ASU (Fri.), and full play at Arizona, that would pretty closely track Schwan's recovery.
If DeHoog is available, Tanner should still start at OPP at ASU, with DeHoog available in relief. Whoever plays best could start at Arizona, arguably the tougher opponent and more likely "trap" match (11am Sunday PST = 12noon MST, but MT, so equivalent to 12pm PT).
I am intrigued by Tanner's growing confidence as a hitter.

I am intrigued by Tanner's growing confidence as a hitter. yes, no boot and she did not seem to favor it while walking, although her right ankle was heavily wrapped. I agree that Tanner showed a lot while filling in as OPP, and that provides a fair amount of flexibility for the Huskies. However, I would prefer that Tanner focus on her setting, and only spell DeHoog if Carly is really not ready to go. DeHoog has been developing quickly this year and using her significant height both to help form a dominant block, as well as a powerful right side attack. I think the Huskies are a better team with Carly on the court for three rotations.

BTW, 11AM MT would be 10AM PT. Except I seem to recall that AZ doesn't do that new-fangled DST. So 11AM MST would be 11AM PDT (I think!). Don't want my Husky comrades to miss the game start!

You're right, we're now an hour before them. 11am MST = 10am PST. It turns out that the match time is 11am PST, however, which = 12noon MST.

Arizona Time is the same as MST in the winter and also the same as PDT in the summer. But it's not actually either of them.

On Tanner vs DeHoog, as Garrison pointed out, Tanner was already rotating to hit in the left-front, with DeHoog hitting in the front-row for the next two rotations. That rotation (with DeHoog/L, Wade/M, and Scambray/R) had been a problem, with teams (WSU, for instance) going on runs against it. Rotating Tanner meant that Beals didn't have to set a different set (to a lefty) just for that rotation.
I like that we'll have the option to go to either, if the other is not hitting well. I suspect that DeHoog will be eased back in, which could mean more reps for Tanner to get even more up to speed hitting this weekend. After that, play whoever is playing best. Stanford not knowing if they're going to face a lefty or a righty won't hurt.

Stanford not knowing if they're going to face a lefty or a righty won't hurt. I agree that having Tanner as an option is always a good thing. She played a vital role in the first two sets against USC. Beals apparently has a lot of confidence in her as she was the recipient of many sets. Before her injury, DeHoog was quietly becoming one of UW's most efficient hitters. The only problem was that she wasn't seeing enough sets. Going forward, and assuming Carly is back in time to get tuned up for the tournament, I think it just depends on how much progress DeHoog is making. If she can get back to that pre-injury level, then I think she's the better option in terms of hitting, and certainly blocking.

I haven't gone back through this entire thread, but I'm not seeing anyone suggesting that Washington, after losing JMac, Nelson, and Vansant, would be in first place in the Pac on the last weekend of the season.
I know I was not expecting this team to be this good and I admit to having some concerns about a few of Cook's early season decisions.
One season doesn't make a career, but right now the guy is looking like a pretty special coach.

I know I was not expecting this team to be this good and I admit to having some concerns about a few of Cook's early season decisions. One season doesn't make a career, but right now the guy is looking like a pretty special coach. I'd mark it down to several factors (in no certain order): 1. Improvement in five freshmen who are now sophomores: Jones, Scambray, Tanner, Schwan, DeHoog. 2. Special season by Sybeldon, with strong contributions from the rest of the seniors (Strickland, Beals, Wade, Condie, Magraw). 4. Strickland's "won't lose" attitude. 5. Cook's more relaxed/less perfectionist coaching style, more willingness to sub players in, shaping his offense to fit his players, including unleashing Sybeldon with his "slow one" offense (the obverse of the traditional offense, with "slows" to the middles and "quicks" to the outsides). He's also put more stress on fluidity and immediacy (see the "pepper drill" in warm-ups), although also with retaining a strong "kinetic" foundation from JMac.

They have far exceeded my expectations and even surpassed my hopes. This could have gone badly so many ways, but instead we fans have been gifted with a very successful season to watch, with a lot of potential for much more. Is it too soon to start discussing Pac12 COY?
