I'm curious about Hugh's recruiting philosophy of late. Other than Landfair, he's stockpiling a lot of undersized pin hitters. Of course, if Shaffmaster moves to a pin, that changes things a little bit. Is he going to try to run even a faster offense than he had with SSS? Karch always said there's a seam or gap in the block somewhere. Its not ability to hit that I am worried about. She is quick and jumps. Add a little cleverness and you have an excellent OH. Its the block that concerns me. All you need is one undersized player and every B1G team runs their plays her way. Of course, if the undersized player is an OH, the Libero would be right behind her so if the floor defense is up to the task... If she is right side, on the other hand, the setter would be covering behind her - that too me would not work.

She certainly has the framework for improvement. The first swing and a few others peppered in there are excellent technique, so it is there. But the times she approaches nearly parallel to the net are something I have never really seen before, and I'm less confident that will work at the collegiate level. Not only is she 15, but she touches 10'1" already. A couple more years and she could be a monster. Does she play 6-ro? Yeah that parallel technique is different. And very tight to the net in doing so.

She'd be much better off adjusting now while she has room.

I've been trying to think about this. The best reason I can come up with is that it forces torque from the core/shoulders when you swing? I understand in as a practice time/teaching mechanism to get newer players to put body power behind the ball, but I agree I don't think it's great long term

I'm confused about what you all are talking about. She runs that maybe three times in this clip, all when hitting an inside set. All her other approaches (not that you can see them) are from off the net. Not sure what needs to be "fixed" here. She's obviously doing what Boelter has told her to do. Some sort of set play.

I was referring to her basic mechanics initially. The parallel approach is just an annoying sideshow.

Boelter ran that play at BA a lot.
