Does anyone have any good video on Francis? She doesn't seem to have a left side arm swing, approach and looks more comfortable on the right. No clue as to whether she or Kipp goes right in 2021, but it's a nice problem to have. http://instagram.com/p/CBqS_AuhVzk As requested. She is versatile and can be used like Fitz. But I think she hits harder than Fitz being just a rising senior.

Will our 2020 + 2021 class challenge Nebraska’s stunning 2021 class? Can’t wait to see them battle it out.

What happens next fall if Xu and Miner are both freshman eligibility-wise? Xu runs a smoother offense with better location at this point. Miner is more offensive, better blocker and just overall more athletic. I hope Xu can get back to her athletic ability pre-ACL(2) tear.

While it’s possible XU could apply for redshirt down the line she’s listed as a Soph.

She seemed more fluid and powerful on the left.

Still can't tell whether she would be more effective on the right or left. She seemed more fluid and powerful on the left. Between Kipp and Francis, I believe Kipp is the better passer (I don't think Francis passed for her club team?), so probably more natural to move Kipp to the left and put Francis on the right. A pin trio of Kipp, Baird, and Francis could be lethal in 2021 & 2022 if the passing unit can hold up. I'm surprised Grayce Olson isn't higher on the PVB recruiting lists, maybe it's because she doesn't play for a high profile club. Her potential seems strong with her 6'4 height, good hitting contact point, and solid ball control in the back row. She needs to get stronger though. She reminds me of Brittany Howard with that tall lanky frame with good all-around game. I think Stanford has the potential to pull in a really strong 2023 class with some of the names previously mentioned- they will need a good one to replace Kipp's.

I’m concerned about Sami Francis in ‘21 as well, especially with regards to depth on the pin if she doesn’t commit. Keefe and Olson are other names for ‘22, but I heard Keefe to Stanford might not be as surefire as one would think. Someone eluded earlier that she isn't interested in Stanford. Reminds me somewhat of Fidelak. Keefe to Duke! Official per Instagram a few moments ago.

It's official: Kerry Keefe to Duke. Yeah, she doesn't want to follow's her parents' and siblings' footsteps. Good for her. I would also think it would be difficult for her to crack the lineup. With Kipp and Francis are on the OPP, that position is taken for a long time.

I haven’t been here for a few weeks so this might be old news. I heard Stanford is recruiting 2022 Marianna Singletary (MB 6’5”) out of South Carolina.
I hear Xu is 100% and has been for some time. Awhile back there was crazy talk about Miner graduating a year early and playing in 2020. As it turns out from what I hear Xu was 100% before the first day of training camp would have taken place. She could always get injured again but right now she is the starting quarterback.
Olson had heart surgery last year. Don't know if that set back her prep rankings.
Stanfordvb said all along Keefe was not interested in Stanford. I'm going to start believing him about recruits.

Keefe will be playing with Millie Muir I know nothing about Duke's other recruits and am too lazy to look into it. In a couple years Duke may be very good.
