I like Londot, but I do wonder who slots in the Opp spot to give her a rest or if she is not playing well... I guess that depends on who is playing OH for that match lol. Do you think Miner or Orr could be the 2nd Opp (when not starting at setter)? I am pretty sure Miner touches over 10 feet but I don't know the touch numbers for Orr. Orr touched 10' as a freshman playing 17's. That said, neither Orr or Miner are optimal at OPP. The team might be able to get away with it, but that depends on the opponent. It would've been nice to have another pin in the Krause/Londot mold (even Londot is technically a middle). Maybe Booth can do it, but I don't think she has experience over there. She's super long and not as quick as the other middles, so it might make sense.

Speaking of Florida and middles, whatever happened to Darielle King? She was a top 10 middle in what was arguably the most talented recruiting class of this decade. The same thing that happened to Orie Agbaji at Texas. And that was?

For those that like breakdowns... Big Ten - 8Nebraska - 3 (Krause, Orr, Rodriguez) Ohio State - 2 (Londot, Taylor) Minnesota - 1 (Booth) Wisconsin - 1 (Robinson) Michigan - 1 (Mruzik) Pac 12 - 2Stanford - 1 (Oglivie) UCLA - 1 (Jacobs) Big 12 - 1Kansas - 1 (Crawford) Uncommitted - 1 Presumably Stanford? (Miner) Love breakdowns. No one from Texas? That’s a head scratcher.

The same thing that happened to Orie Agbaji at Texas. And that was? Disappeared. More so didn't improve or develop as planned.

My only issue is that the team brought a little too many OHs for my liking. Would’ve been nice to have 2 options for Opp that didn’t eat into the MB depth

Tyrah Arial posted her commitment to USC earlier today. At 6'0" is she projected to stay in the MB or move to a pin at some point?

I think Crouch may prefer a quicker middle and want to keep her there.

Disappeared. More so didn't improve or develop as planned. Can’t speak for Agbaji but King started most of the spring and had the most playing time of any of the middles. She’ll start in 2019. Mary Wise values experience so it’s easy to see why Kellum started over King last year.

A lot of people might forget that after playing her freshman year, King redshirted her sophomore year. In her redshirt sophomore year, the more experienced Sr Taelor Kellum played ahead of her. 2019 is Darielle's season to show her stuff!

Anyone know why Skinner and Landfair don't participate in this?
