RR sure has his work cut out for him.
Will Weiskercher regain her position as the starting setter again or will Blossom step in? Who will be the new setting coach?
Let’s get this thing started!

Most of them have skipped from vtalk to dignittany. I think there are only about 4-5 left here

My biggest questions...
Where will Parker play? Setter? Outside? On the right?
Who joins Gorrell in the middle? They’ll have Pheghley (sp?), Hord and Gray coming in.
Does Cather play RS?

It's sad that all the Penn State fans have left. Definitely a void here now. It certainly wasn't like there weren't enough Penn State conversations here.

Without a transfer, I can't see Parker anywhere other than the left. They certainly don't need her to set. Getting to reunite with her old club teammate, White, will be nice.
Hord and Gray will certainly find the floor, in my mind. Their ceilings are as high as any Penn Stater recently. Perhaps one redshirts if someone else on the roster emerges able to play opposite.
If a transfer doesn't show up, Reed would be the only option for taking the other outside spot. They'll need lefts that can score before they need someone terminal on the right and Reed has shown that she's been able to do that.
As for the setting, I hope Weiskircher is able to figure it out. Her experience and leadership is valuable, as is her serve (don't watch the Nebraska semifinal), but damn, she needs to improve her location and decision-making. She's not going to have experienced seniors available like Frantti, Lee, and Washington to bail her out anymore. I'm not a huge fan of Blossom, but she seems like enough of a gamer to challenge for some time. They definitely don't have the attackers to run a 6-2, and not enough six-rotation receivers to make it work even if they did. It'll be Weiskircher or Blossom in a 5-1.

The PSU fans on DigNittany don't know any more about what the future holds than anyone else.

I think Reed showed glimpses Of good when she played. Definitely need at least 1 OH to transfer in. Also, hoping the Ole Miss transfer shows something good after redshirting this year

Also, hoping the Ole Miss transfer shows something good after redshirting this year I would say better than good. I feel that every time she was called on to come in over the past year she was able to produce. I obviously did not see her everytime she came in but when I did she was the spark the PSU needed. I am looking forward to seeing what she can do her senior year knowing that she will be starting and not hanging out waiting for a place at the table.

Reed had a monster game against Wisconsin in Rec Hall -- without her in that match, they might very well have lost the game and possibly the match. She seemed to gain alot of confidence after that match, and generally played very well.

I think Gray slides into a pin position early on.

I was going to wish you a Merry Christmas but if you want to be mean about it.........
