Florida and Stanford will have new setters next season; so, the connection with the respective POY candidates might take a while. I can definitely see Hodson as strong contender, though, as she will play all 6 rotations. Alex Holston has the ability to dominate; she'll be a senior, so it's now or never.
If the way Ebony Nwanebu played against Nebraska in September can translate into an entire season of play, she can for sure win POY. Her backrow hitting was very impressive, her serve can get her some aces, and she'll have a senior setter getting her the ball.
Carlini, of course, will be in the discussion. I don't think she made the all-region team in Austin. So, her stats are gonna have to be noticeably better than Havili's or Hunter's to really separate herself.

Add in the fact that she was one of two primary passers with D'Errico, and they're even more impressive. never got her due as a collegiate passer. IMO had the greatest collegiate career of all time I think it's between her and Logan Tom, but man Hodge was a freak of nature

Klinemans 2010 stats were better ... Just saying 5.5 kills .371, pretty crazy numbers. Who was 2o1o POY? Cal's Carli Lloyd

5.5 kills .371, pretty crazy numbers. Who was 2o1o POY? Cal's Carli Lloyd This translated well in her professional career. Of all the American setters, she has the best record having won Italian League and CEV sanctioned tournaments. Currently, her team is second in Italian League and undefeated in Champions League. Too bad she doesn't fit Karch's system.

Hayley Hodson may be the best OH in the country next year, and could be in the conversation for POY. Her numbers would have to be really spectacular for a sophomore to win the award over some of the aforementioned. And Stanford would have to go deep (which I think they have the potential to) she hit .260 as a freshman, not really impressive at all.

If she'd hit only front row (or if she'd played in a more balanced offense) she'd have much better efficiency numbers. Very few players in the country could have done what she did last season, she's absolutely a contender for NPOY, especially moving back to her natural position.

All I said was that her numbers this year will have to be really good. With Ajanaku holding the blockers and Hodson back into her most comfortable position, I think Hodson will have a much better hitting efficiency.

She's a great player, i'm not denying that. but you're grasping here. Three other OPP's all did this same role better this year and will be back next year. Taylor, Payne, K Rolfzen all did this same role with better numbers across the board and their teams all performed much better this year, not going out in the 2nd round. My opinion is Haley has zero chance of winning NPOY next year. I also think she's capable of winning this award her senior year and very well could.

Rolfzen and Taylor did and would be better for comparison

My opinion is Haley has zero chance of winning NPOY next year. I also think she's capable of winning this award her senior year and very well could. I'm not grasping. Payne played three rotations, Taylor had better numbers against weak competition, and Rolfzen's numbers aren't even comparable. Hodson averaged .76 points more per set, which is a difference of about 15%. Rolfzen also played on a team with far more options on offense. Playing a length of a net away from Mikaela Foecke is very different than playing the same distance from a hobbled Jordan Burgess, and that's not even bringing up the play of the middles. While there aren't statistics on this available to us (or at least to me), I would wager that Hodson took a much higher percentage of her swings while in the back row than Rolfzen did, as well carrying a bigger share of the out of system load. I doubt anyone who watched much of both teams this past season would dispute that. Projecting forward a year, it's difficult to say what kind of production we'll see from these players, but the best bet is usually that the younger a player is, the more quickly they'll develop, especially when you're talking about a player's first college offseason. We should also consider that, as I mentioned in my previous post, Hodson is moving back to her natural position next year, so I'd expect that switch to improve her numbers as well. I have no idea who will be NPOY next year, and odds are it won't be Hodson, but she is certainly a contender. If Stanford weren't going through such a big transition with both serve receive and setting, I'd say that she had a much better shot than either Rolfzen or Taylor.

Playing a length of a net away from Mikaela Foecke is very different than playing the same distance from a hobbled Jordan Burgess, and that's not even bringing up the play of the middles. How aren't Rolfzen and Hodson comparable? Rolfzen hit for a higher percentage this season than Hodson, had more digs per set, more blocks per set, and played in a tougher conference. Hodson also had Brittany Howard playing a length of a net away from her, and she made a higher AA team than Foecke. And what do you mean you won't even bring up the play of the middles? Lutz averaged more kps and hit for a higher percentage than A. Rolfzen, and Hall and Vanjak were essentially both role players for their teams. According to the AVCA, Hodson also had a better setter giving her the ball than K. Rolfzen did.
