Not sure Foeke's passing would have helped but it would have been nice to have a Hill/Bartch/Larson/Robinson there today. So for Nebraska, the ad on the USAV site shows Larson, Robinson and Hill, can we expect the big 4 (or at least those 3) at OH, and Carlini and/or Lloyd, and maybe replace Thompson? so Or does Karch enjoy the youth movement enough to take this crew for another week? I don’t see any path toward starting in an Olympic Games for Wilhite or Kingdon as anything other than a stabilizing solid passing OH2. Karch must see this possibility for them otherwise why bother keeping them around. Those two need to prove their worth without any of the top four OH’s being around to bail them out. God knows they had at least some support around them, our MB’s continue to be the stars of the USA VNL. How is Wilhite and Kingdom going to stabilize our passing? We don't have an Outside right now that can be a stabilizing passing OH2 expect Robinson and Courtney.

We are already a very good passing team. We are well past the point of diminishing returns from getting marginally better at passing. What we need is to get better terminating out-of-system (yes, even the best passing team isn't in system 100% of the time) and in transition - particularly given how effective other teams are on serve right now. I don't believe Kingdon and Wilhite help with that. In fact, they kind of double-down on being limited to needing a very well-timed go set to terminate.

Maybe I haven't watched enough of her, but I don't see how she stabilizes any passing and she certainly isn't someone I'd consider terminal either.

Well, well, well...others share my opinion on Wilhite Parsons but aren't criminalized. Interesting...

What's the criteria for the Villain Team again? I simply said WP couldn't pass and wasn't NT caliber. Someone from MN turned it into a WI MN thing, which it is not at all. It was an observation in a match thread and was repeated when she shanked a ball. I can't help she did it frequently. I also commented often about Kingdon when she was stuffed. Y'all really need to chill.

Still mad that she decommitted when Pete left? Not in the least. I also won't be mad when she cannot find a team on which to play next year because she can't pass or hit. Wait, maybe she'll be on a cute German team like those twins. Ring a bell? Edit: Something about picking on young pros just leaves a funny taste in my mouth considering none of us are Karch/Hugh/Kelly/some big coach. I don't know. Maybe because we can (mostly) freely sling insults anonymously, so long as we don't outright cuss, we like to take cheap swings at players who could probably give us a nice facial if we played against them? Hmm.

Kingdon and WP suck. Like they aren’t going to be in Tokyo. Next.

Hmm. You make a dig at me, I hit ya where it hurts...the truth. She'll be lucky to play (start), in a top league, much less in Italy. Wasn't a cheap shot. Seeing her passing, it was a well-informed opinion.

Seeing her passing, it was a well-informed opinion. I'm sorry, when did I defend her passing? I don't remember. Edit: In a combined effort, we made a double pun. +1 for that. I'll clear something up while I'm here. The way Wilhite Parsons (I actually don't know what she goes by, she's still Wilhite to me) is playing, she is not Tokyo ready. She *can* kind of play at the "next" level, but isn't making her case. At least Kingdon had one showing. If Wilhite has any 2020 hopes, she'd have to pull another Wilhite (but instead of no AAs until her NPOY year, she'd have to somehow have an "IPOY" performance). IPOY. Sounds like another Apple product.

Sporty's like Holidayhusker 2.0; "never let facts interfere with a (delusional) argument"!
