If you don't have Cusack at libero you're drinking the wrong Kool-Aid.

Well I'd pick Washington's Tamari Miyashiro over Cusack any day and Seilhammer watever her name is. Both are good really, but Tamari is just a human mop when she sweeps the floor with her smooth and quick defense not to mention her perfect passing. It didn't matter if Washington lost to SC and UCLA, she still played flawless defense.

But again, that's just my opinion...and you all are intitled to yours...

I would pick for the MB's position, Foluke & Alexis Crimes from LBSU. She jumps out of the gym, she's quick, very agressive at the net and consistent. To bad she doesn't have a great setter to set her up like Washington,Nebraska,Penn ST. Stanford, UCLA etc. let alone a good all around team to help her score. She's one of the best there is right now in the NC's at her position and I would pick her anyday over Walbridge.

I would add Tracy Stalls to the mix also.... but hey this is my opinion.

Crimes has a good setter, maybe if she could hit a slid it would not be the setters fault, and she would be a great setter than. Just because you have great altitude doesn't make you an All-star.

this year [Morrison] is seeing a triple block more than a double block, and never seeing a single block... but she's still hitting over 300 and well over 4 kills per game. remember, she had Sanja at opposite last year that took most of the pressure off her. I think she is doing extremely well considering she is the main focus of the opposing defense.

that's why this year, when she's played on the right she hits for a waaay better percentage.

I think I'd put her at rightside if she were on the "college U.S. all-star" team. I don't know who else would do a better job. For the other players on the team I think I'd go with the original list plus Morrison at rs.

Of course the other reason she's seeing more of a block is that the passing hasn't been as reliable this year and there are more sets simply being lobbed high to the LS. No mistake about it, she's carrying a heavy load this year and she's been not just reliable but pretty darn good. There's no question that the circumstances she's hitting in are slowing her down a bit though.

I'd still pick Barboza over Christal. At Seattle CB was the main offensive threat and that's how UW treated her. She faced lots of triple blocks and had lots of high sets, but she still got kills -- more so than Morrison in the same situations, from what I could tell.
