She's done nothing in college. You made a another stupid comment (shocker). Just own it. Who's Hillary? LMFAO
Quit splitting hairs. You know who they meant. Also, a healthy Xu would start over Blossom & it's not even close. She'd probably even give the predictable Hilley a run for her money if I had to guess.

I agree. I think she’s the 3rd best setter in the country next year behind Hilley and Lilley. Definitely better than blossom lol that made me laugh. Would start on any B1G Except wisco, pac 12, Big 12 team easily. She is unproven in college though. Shook, for example, was supposed to be really good but did not pan out. Now you're just being mean comparing Xu to Shook! |

she wouldn’t start over Blossom, Hilley, Lilley, Lazaro, Fuentes, Or Conner just off the top of my head imo. So that might be a bit of an overstatement but she is very good She'd start over all of those setters you listed sans MAYBE Hilley. A healthy Xu is one of the best pure setters in the country. That is just very hard to believe. Lilley and Hilley there is NO way Xu as a sophomore unseats them lol. I also highly doubt rose benches blossom for her. Fuentes is one of the most underrated setters in the country and she’s fantastic. Xu has done nothing. I love Jenna gray but the weakest part of her game was her setting ironically. All the setters I listed were better pure setters than gray let alone xu (besides Conner) |

All the setters I listed were better pure setters than gray let alone xu (besides Conner) Do all of those setters that you put on a pedestal have three titles to their credit? Gray had all the intangibles that made her a winner & she proved that time & time again. However, to get back to the point. You really don't think a sophomore could unseat the underperformance of Lilley & a predictable setter like Hilley? Come on now. I doubt Rose will bench Blossom for Xu either seeing as they play on different teams, but if Xu was on PSU's squad, rest assured that the only reason Blossom would be playing over her was Xu's injury. Have you ever seen the girl set? I'm genuinely curious because if you've watched Xu's technique vs. Blossom & truly think Blossom is better, I'd love to know what you're looking for in a setter. I'm not saying Xu has done anything in college yet because she hasn't had the opportunity. I believe she'll be a star when the reigns are given to her this year. However, if you'd like to go there when comparing accolades, she already has one thing that Lilley, Hilley, Fuentes, & Shook do not... |

Everyone has a weakest part of the game (and for gray that’s still a very high level of setting) but grays just happen to be her location. Yes I have seen Xu set and what sets Blossom apart is her fire, defense, and her ability to set against the flow and run her middles from almost anywhere.. Also do not compare the title accolade lol. Xu was not the one on the court earning her team a title lol. Being on the bench of a team that won a NC does not automatically make you better than someone on a team who has not won |

I said the ones I listed were better PURE setters. Gray isn’t that far behind in that area but leads them in the other areas which is why she’s so good. |

I never really saw the hype around Hilley, she’s good at everything and definitely a great player but people give her a ton of hype (like a lot) on here but when I look at carlini, sss, Poulter, Hancock, and other top setters over the last couple years I don’t think Hilley is even touching them. Someone’s gonna get mad at me for posting this

She was injured and playing behind a senior 1st team AA who won 3 National Championships? I also take this back. She wouldn’t start over Hillary and Blossom, maybe a handful of others who I can’t think of now. But she’d definitely start over all 3 of the setters on your fave team’s roster. Did that strike a nerve? she wouldn’t start over Blossom, Hilley, Lilley, Lazaro, Fuentes, Or Conner just off the top of my head imo. So that might be a bit of an overstatement but she is very good She would definitely start over all of them except for Hilley and maybe Lilley. And I'm not really sure I'd have Conner in this conversation. Your setter and opposite should not have the same number of attacks on the season. |

Okay we can argue over the rest but how come is always a maybe Lilley from y’all? She has literally played with the senior national team. Xu hasn’t even seen the court more than like 30 seconds. Like come on people. I know I’m a well documented Lilley stan here but I do not see how unless Xu is literally Lauren carlini in disguise that you can even ARGUE that she is better than Lilley or Hilley. I’ll accept the argument over the other setters I posted but dear god y’all are more biased to Xu than I am Lilley |

Obviously she hasn't seen the court a lot and other posters have already spoken to that. What is it about Lilley that makes her beyond reproach? To be clear, this is what I mean. Gray>Xu Gray>Lilley Xu ? Lilley Hence, maybe. |

Lilley is better than Gray, so the premise is false. What are you basing this on? Volleyball. Specifically, playing setter. If we're talking about throwing a javelin, I would imagine Gray is better. |

I'm a Lilley fan. Lilley has better location and plays better defense. Does more with less. Gray is a better blocker, attacker of the second ball, server and an overall better leader. |
