PSU appears to be the team to beat again, returning Most Outstanding Player, Megan Courtney, and Freshman of the Year, Ali Frantti, along with vets, Whitney and Washington. Nebraska has a lot of hope for next year. With newcomer Foecke, and a dynamic setter, Hunter, Nebraska's offense will be more balanced. Illinois returns Birks, and adds elite setter, Poulter. Throw in newcomers Prince on the outside and Bastianelli in the middle, the Illini will be GOOD. Wisconsin boasts B1G Setter of the Year, Lauren Carlini, and B1G Defensive of the Year, Morey. Expect freshmen Duello and Williams to turn heads. PSU- I think PSU will struggle at first with the new setter, but will end top two. I've seen Brianna set, and she's is no where close as a good setter as Hancock. That being said I am not sure how well their new recruit from Puerto Rico sets. I do know she is a lefty which is a huge benefit. Megan Courtney was the MOP in last years tournament, yes, but she did not play anywhere to that level during conference, nor was she an AA. I do not see her putting up huge numbers next year. I would love that to Frantti, Washington, and Whitney. NU- Nebraska has all the players to go to the national championship game and win it. For some reason they have not meshed well together. I'm not sure why this is but their chemistry on the court seems a little dead to me. Maybe it's time for a new and young coach that could lift this team up? Their new recruits should really make them strong but until they get their mental game strong I do not see them going too far in the tournament. UI- This team I feel like Illini will end up top two in conference. They have Birks that always puts up big numbers every season. Jorydn Poulter will be an upgrade from Alexis, which will give the team more consistent sets, as well has help out set contribution. She's been compared to Lauren Carlini a few times and will no doubt be one of the top setters in conference. They also have a new transfer Naya that cam from Oregon. She has a lot of work to do before she can dominate on the right side, but if she can improve that would help the Illini even more. UW- Sure Carlini is a great setter, but setters can only do so much on the court. They are not point scorers. Wisconsin will be heavily relying on freshman to get he job done. Their pins will most probably consist of underclassmen. They can't really rely on their upperclassmen, because not a lot of them really get playing time. I think Wisconsin is going to get a lot less competitive. They will be good, but they wont be as good as they were before.

Psu could lose some games and miss out on conference title but they are the only team in Stanford's way of winning it this year. The mental factor is big. If psu goes down I expect Stanford to win it all. As far as conference I talk but it's more of same in sense that psu Nebraska Wisconsin Illinois and Minnesota should be top 5

Florida has elite talent. Who else has two athletes like Rhamat and Holsten? They also have solid surrounding cast. Sorry to crash thread, but just responding to previous post.

Tell you what if they meet in tourny and Stanford loses to Florida boof will disappear. I'll add psu to that also to give you two chances. Florida is good but they are not on that lvl

I guess I missed the part where we were talking about championships. I thought someone acknowledged the athleticism of Alhassan and Holston, and then a PSU fan countered by saying that PSU has good volleyball players too. I thought we were talking about relative athletic ability.

It's only thing that makes sense I think you just have trouble recognizing or accepting fair criticism of your favorite program and athletes, and respond like you've been personally offended.

I've got no problem with anyone on any thread even though they think I'm crazy and I'll informed. Np with that cause it's a chat and fun but you my friend who found a reason to put down every compliment Hancock got last year and seems to add a negative to every psu compliment are no psu fan. Don't want u. Other psu fans I'll let speak for selves. In end I've always Atleast stayed positive and supported my team
