Only other player I think deserves to be in the top 3 is Jacob Kim Another great guess. However, this is a player whose team did not make the NCAA Tournament. Final hint Wickens or Pat Wing fs

Which These two were my other guesses but I didn’t think it was possible for either one of these to be in the top 3. Guess I was wrong. Anyways I think Wickens was the one in the top 3 Also I’m actually really shocked Jacob Kim wasnt in the conversation considering he hit and set really well

Christian Smith?

Christian Smith? You can make a case for Ian Capp, while he wasn’t as good as Smith he still set and hit at an AA level during the 2018-19 seasons

I always appreciate transparency in our sport, so I’m hoping to provide some here. As a member of the All-American committee, I was on the call. First of all, the conversation about NPOY really only included the 4 regional players of the year. Any other dialogue on this forum is either misleading or just false. We did take team success into consideration, which really hurt Andrew’s case. Laboo’s efficiency was the difference maker (.413 against ranked opponents compared to .369 from Sheaffer and .341 from Mayotte).

Appreciate you giving those guys’ hitting percentages against ranked opponents. I just calculated Percy Bickford’s and it came out to .380. Mind explaining that one Coach Beachy?

Dear average fan, didn't have the heart to tell you that you were not close. It's a pretty simple process if all the committees choose a #1 out of the region it's not hard for the AA committee to follow. The final 4 in each region were very good. Middles rarely get top 3 so it is hard for a committee to pick one. Try to think the last middle in the last 10 years that was a one or a two???

Mind explaining that one Coach Beachy? it's called kills/set. bickfords was bad. So you’ll penalize a player who has two other first team all-american attackers on his team? And a setter who spreads the offense? What happened to making the most of your opportunities? Also Stevens has less kills than most top teams already because of their block and consistent serving. Flaw in the voting IMO

Flaw in the voting IMO Yes, especially when the other two attackers were better. This really isn't that hard. votings fine.

This really isn't that hard. votings fine. I never said they weren’t. Maybe you missed that Bickford was left off all-american completely? Do you think he was worse than Wickens, Cooper, Fiorenza, Norman, Normandin, Flanagan, Shelly, and Zaharewicz?
