Because I think they are better at volleyball than she is. Why else would I say they are better? No need to get snappy. Why do you think if you take out size, Poulter and Carlini are still better? You never explained your reasoning for that. Better location? Better tempo? More deceptive? (And, since you used it in a post after your reply to me to "expand" upon your stance, IMO "pure setter" is a blanket term that doesn't really reveal much about a player's actual skills/talents.)

1) Giving that knee a chance to recover/ getting some well-deserved R+R after a LOONNG season; 2) Her academics aren't related to VB; 3) "Rumored to be" Is Just That. I disagree. I don't see a reason why she would graduate early other than volleyball. Your claiming of "insider knowledge" is merely speculation Whoa there, cowboy! Nitpick/ cherry-pick/ put words in others' mouths much? Btw: Doesn't matter if you can't see a reason for her graduating early; perhaps, just maybe, She does. FYI: I have had a connection within the AD at SU since I was first admitted (and worked there) 48 years back. You go there? Now -- afa "merely speculation" -- this Board is FOR speculation, ya? I reside in Hawaii now. I have Stanford contacts both on & off this site (and our State). I was pointing out to posters here that they may be jumping-the-gun projecting Plummdawg as an "automatic" prospect for the NT (in fact many here do NOT see her as such, right now). I caught a "buzz" 'bout this from a TRUE insider in the AD. And yet, young people change their minds, no? But she is Still recovering from the injury-surgery and a persistent virus. We will soon see! Enjoy.

Enjoy. Yes and her reason is likely volleyball. Soooo thanks for that. And also, can you ever just type messages normally without all the fluff?

Hey y’all. What’s up with Ogbogu? She didn’t even suit up for the last two matches with Chemik Police! They have been eliminated from the playoffs after back to back losses to Grot Budowlani Lodz😳. Is she injured?!

Is she injured?! She did play the 2 semifinal games. You must have seen wrong stats. She`s not injured.

It could be inaccurate. Still someone mentioned that Chemik Police always wins the title....guess not this year. I’m glad she is moving to Busto Arsizio. With Lowe moving there and if Bonifacio, Orro and Herbots stay that will be a formidable team pending the second OH. Maybe Gennari will stay? Have you heard anything about the remainder of Busto for next season?

I mainly was concerned for Ogbogu. I’m pulling for her to snatch a roster spot this whole summer with the NT.

Have you heard anything about the remainder of Busto for next season? She did not play in the final 2 ( or 1) games of the regular season as Chemik was already qualified for the semis. But she did play in the 2 semi final games. Orro is confirmed to stay. They want Herbots and Genari to stay. Not sure about Bonifacio. I don`t think Ogbogu is a done deal in Busto yet, I heard they are considering Laura Heyrman as well...also heard Ogbogu could actually go to Bergamo to replace Tapp.

Looking at the NT schedule this summer, there are so many overlapping events that all the usual suspects along with the recent graduates and even a few top NCAA players are going to get a lot of work in Anaheim and roster spots in different combinations with different setters. There will be plenty to argue about on here..... but there will also be every opportunity for any player to stand out and earn a roster spot next year. I really like the way the coaches have set up this year leading up to Tokyo!
