.. .. 6-2. It's one way teams without the recruits of the bigger schools can compete. Also IMO it doesn't really work that well. It's hard enough to establish offensive rhythm with one setter. Has a team other than USC won an NT running it? it works best for teams that can't/don't run tempo sets - without the recruits as you describe, or the rare team that has 2 setters with the same ability to run tempo offense - nowadays that doesn't seem to happen. curious if anyone has seen a team run tempo with one setter & not much tempo with another in a 6-2. the best teams' setter attacks are nowhere near as effective as their back row attacks.

Hawaii does a variation of this. One setter (Norene Iosia) plays 6 rotations -- sets while in back row and hits while in front. The second setter (Bailey Choy) only plays 3ro, subs in to serve, and then sets while in back row, but subs out for a middle when she rotates to the front. Ever since Iosia stays in and hits in the front row Choy's been subbed out by the other opp not the middle.

The only drawback this has is that no setter can dump the ball. With the size of both of hawaiis setters, how effective would they be dumping

Don’t know about Choy as she’s a transfer. Besides, lots of teeny weeny setters are capable of dumping.

Fascinating. I just hope that, in the interests of reciprocity, I can go to the the zillion page Hawaii 2019 thread and read several posts about Minnesota.

Apropos not much of anything, what I'd most like to read about is MN winning the BIG title 2019 --- and how they did it. Maybe not much chance of that happening but I can hope. NCAAs can wait.....

I wonder, can Dolonga set at all? Although the Rubright sub worked better today, I kinda like the idea of a 6-2, without Miller.

I really liked their rotation last weekend with Miyabe. Gotta feel for her. Wonder why Rubright over Miyabe? Seems like Miyabe was better in the front row than Rubright has shown.

Rubright's a better blocker. Bigger anyhow. They aren't looking for offense with that sub.
Funny about Dolonga. I thought she did as well as McMenimen in the scrimmage -- and they both did OK. But scrimmage.

I really liked the Rubright lineup. Some of the best sets of the night came from Pittman and McGraw. Bailey is doing the best she can but just has too many weaknesses. It would be great if we get Miller back soon but if not we need to use the lineup with Rubright as much as possible.

Agreed, in which case they need to get Rubright at least somewhat comfortable taking a real swing at opposite. Can’t have every opposing blocker keyed in on the ball going to the left side hitter 100% of the time when the team gets into a rally during a Rubright sub.

I'm sure they'd prefer for Rubright to be the middle blocker and Pittman on the right. But neither she nor Husemann were getting it done.
