Oh, and no Megan Courtney. You got the obvious ones (Bricio, Washington, Taylor, Alhassan) right, but otherwise I can't respect this list because of these reasons.

She's number two on my list of OH. And Tapp and Sandboothe totally missed my mind, apologies, as well as SSS (but from what I've seen, I still like Snuka and Poulter better. Stadick is good, but I still believe all middle mentioned are better.

I would say Carlini is there best setter... I would put sss in before poulter. I have seen both of them set twice now in the big ten and pointed is very predictable on setting and Arabia not.

What about Alex Holston on the RS? Her season hasn't been the best. And I would maybe add Alexa Gray/one of the BYU middles

There isn't an Opposite in the collegiate game this season who is better than Nikki Taylor. Taylor has been able to polish her game on the beach over the past 2 seasons, Her court vision is exceptional and at 6'4 with a whip of an armswing, she can put the ball anywhere on the court that she wants to. No offense to Whitney but Taylor is a threat to score from the service line AND as a backrow player. Taylor is second to only Bricio in points per set, she is a prolific point scorer.

Recek is not one of the top four OH in the country. Perhaps you meant to type Gardner? And you place Kadie Rolfzen as one of your top OPPs? She literally has just moved over to that position, and doesn't play well enough to stay in the match rather often. If you can't make your own team's lineup for your position, you probably shouldn't be in a "top 5 in the nation" list in that position.

I'd put Adrianna Culbert from CSU up there for OPP. Plays all six rotations, setting and hitting in a 6-2 (only hitting the past three years), receives serve when in the front, and has had 4 triple doubles this year. Doesn't play against top competition being in the MW, but she's still a stud.

I'd only list pin hitters that play all the way around, and didn't Whitney just move to middle blocker? Taylor for sure the top rightside, Bricio top left, Carlini at setter obviously, Oregon/Iowa St libero and Washington/Alhasson in the middle.

Doesn't play against top competition being in the MW, but she's still a stud. Definitely agree. She may not be one of the absolute best players in the country, but she still deserves recognition for what she is doing. I am sure the transition from 6 rotation OH/OPP to a setter/hitter in a 6-2 is not an easy one, but she has handled it pretty well. She is the glue to that team and is a great player.

I think the middles for BYU should definitely be considered some of the top middles. Weren't they #1 and 2 in blocking last year? They are also doing a fantastic job this year.

She was actually recruited as a setter, but then they needed her to be an OPP her freshman year. Since then she's just hit, and set broken plays when Foss made the first contact. This year they decided to utilize both skill sets, and I think it's working out nicely for her!
