Excellent. While the Communications Guru is on a roll, let's officially announce Taylor Louis, too! Go Hawks!! Agree!! Wonder who this might be. Thinking we're pretty "full" for 2018 & 2019 so maybe a 2020 recruit? Or wishful thinking that it's Baby Orr (Kennedi) to take the Hawk setting baton from here sis in 2021??

Watched Kennedi at the nationals in Minneapolis. Unreal talent and instinct for that age!! Yes, agree with being thrilled for whoever this is, though. If haven't seen this vid, check it out. So excited for this season! snpy.tv/2vVNee0

soooo.... if Orr can't adjust to college ball or gets injured, as frosh kind of do a lot, who set for this team? Good question. Frosh Paige Franck, who is listed only as DS on roster, is also a very talented setter so could step into that role should Orr become injured, God forbid. In the vid link I attached in my last post, it shows quite a bit of Franck setting in practice. As for Orr possibly not adjusting to college ball, I suppose anything is possible but I find that highly unlikely with a setter of her caliber. Sure, it will take time for her to fully develop to her potential in college, like it does for everyone, but she sure looked like she was adjusting quite well this spring, as she set the team to some impressive showings against solid teams. She's a stud, she's smart and she's tough as nails.

Joslyn Boyer, L, 1st Alliance 16 Silver
Boyer joins fellow '19's Emma Grunkemeyer, Blythe Rients, Grace Tubbs, and Kyndra Hansen
2019 will be a very interesting year for the Hawkeyes. Setter Brie Orr will be a junior (with no other setter commits currently in the pipeline, assuming Paige Franck, fellow junior will provide backup). Libero position will be open (depending on who wins it out next season). Hannah Clayton, Amiya Jones, and Sarah Wing will have a one-year headstart on incoming middles to establish themselves before Rients and Tubbs joins them. My assumption is Grunkemeyer moves to opposite as we lose Coyle & Alm in 2018. Hansen has a real chance of beating out Buzzerio or Sheehan for a starting spot.
I'm most interested in seeing what Emma Grunkemeyer does this upcoming club season at Nebraska Elite, whether she stays in the middle or starts looking to the future and moves to opposite now.

I'm most interested in seeing what Emma Grunkemeyer does this upcoming club season at Nebraska Elite, whether she stays in the middle or starts looking to the future and moves to opposite now. Great summary and I foresee the same for Grunkemeyer (moving to the right side at Iowa), given the personnel needs and timing. Hansen is a keeper for sure. She balances power with smart, off-speed, well-placed shots better than most at her age. And keep in mind that although Rients is a "middle by trade," she was named a Soph 79 by PVB.com for her performance as an OH last year. Not saying she would necessarily compete with Buzz, Sheehan and Hansen for a starting spot at OH in 2019, but sure could be a very viable option with much physicality there after that, especially since it could be kinda crowded with tall talent in the middle for a few years. All will be very exciting to watch unfold!
