Just curious as the season is starting to wind down, who does everyone think is going to be on the first team. Here are my predictions.
Samantha Bricio-OH-USC Alexa Gray-OH-BYU Daly Santana-OH-Minnesota Amy Neal-OH-Texas Megan Courtney-OH-Penn State Nikki Taylor-RS-Hawaii Hayley Hodson-RS-Stanford Lauren Carlini-S-Wisconsin Katie George-S-Louisville Rhamat Alhassan-MB-Florida Lianna Sybeldon-MB-Wasgington Chiaka Obogu-MB-Texas Haleigh Washington-MB-Penn State Caitlin Nolan-L- Iowa State
Bubble Courtney Schwann-OH-Washington Carly Kan-OH-Missouri Kadie Rolfzen-OH-Nebraska Nicole Walch-OH-Florida State Jocelyn Birks-OH-Illinois Kalei Mau-OH-Arizona Ali Frantti-OH-Penn State Kelsee Payne-RS-Kansas Anise Havilli-S-Kansas Avery Acker-S-SMU Madi Bugg-S-Stanford Samantha Seliger-Swenson-S-Minnesota Audrianna Culbert-S/RS-Colorodo St. Merete Lutz-MB-Stanford Molly McCage-MB-Texas Hannah Tapp-Minnesota Olivia Magil-MB-Hawaii Melanie Wade-MB-Washingron Aiyana Whitney-MB/RS-Penn State Taylor Whittingham-L-USC Justine Wong-Orantes-L-Nebraska Cassie Stickland-L-Washington

Schwan isn't on the bubble either. Wade might be HM.
Wasn't there already a thread on this?

There are already threads on Hawaii, but more just keep appearing.
/runs and hides
I struggle to figure out how Molly McCage is All-Big 12 each year, much less an All-American. She 100% does not deserve to make an A-A team (her numbers are comparable with Samara West of Iowa State, who might make All-Big 12 and won't make an A-A team), and yet she probably will, so I will just shut up on that.
Havilli over George for a second 1st-Team A-A setter, she is that good. It wouldn't surprise me if there is not a 1st Team A-A libero this year. If it is anyone, it will be Nolan or Whittingham, but I just don't see it this season.

10 middle blockers and Haleigh Nelson of Wisconsin is not even one of them?

How is this a hawaii thread??? Magill and Taylor are deserving of first/second team. Babers too from A&M and Anderson from UCLA ( 3rd team).

I watch every game of Nolan's, I'm a good Iowa State fan! I just don't know if she has done enough against the big teams to earn a 1st Team nod. She was great against Kansas, K-State and Texas in Ames, but not as good in each of the road matches against those teams. Trust me, Nolan is one of my favorite Cyclones in all my years of watching Iowa State volleyball. But, to be a 1st-Team A-A, you need to be really, really good. The committee gives no forgiveness to liberos, there have only been three liberos in the last 20 years to be a 1st Team A-A, so I just don't see it. I hope I am proven wrong!

10 middle blockers and Haleigh Nelson of Wisconsin is not even one of them? Ditto. Haleigh Nelson is hitting 0.429 in the B1G, which leads the conference. She's one of the best servers and blockers in the B1G. If you are going to include Haleigh Washington on the first team, you also have to at least have Nelson on the bubble based on her numbers.

I like Nelson's game a lot. Not as physically/athletically dominant as a lot of the nations elite middles, but is a very good blocker and a very smart hitter. Extremely deserving of all american honors this season.

Unfair how hard it is for LIberos to be on First Team.
