Yes, she's very athletic and looks very good hitting against essentially no block. But she's not tall enough or doesn't have the huge vertical needed to dominate at the next level. She'll be good in system IMO, but OOS, she'll need craftiness, roll shots, hit high hands, etc. After Kipp and Baird leave, if you have Kurt, Rubin, and Harvey as your three pin hitters, that's a lot of athleticism and no doubt a fun team to watch. Blyashov is a candidate too, but not quite as athletic, but taller. Her sister Taylor was in the video in a few places also, mainly just acting as a decoy or passing from middle back. Her sister is a few inches talker and jumps well. Hopefully, will be the next athletic middle we have been needing. IMO, Taylor has good closing speed on the block. If she decides to play D1 volleyball, she should be legit in the middle. She's also a potential D1 recruit in basketball. I'm not certain which sport she's leaning towards.

If you are a season ticket holder, the banquet is on Saturday, Feb. 11, 11am-1pm, in case you missed it in your email. You need to sign up by the 25th of January. If you can't make it to the banquet you can always help the team by purchasing a sponsorship or two.

I think Harvey looks impressive. She has a huge jump from what I've seen here & in other videos. Yes, she's very athletic and looks very good hitting against essentially no block. But she's not tall enough or doesn't have the huge vertical needed to dominate at the next level. She'll be good in system IMO, but OOS, she'll need craftiness, roll shots, hit high hands, etc. After Kipp and Baird leave, if you have Kurt, Rubin, and Harvey as your three pin hitters, that's a lot of athleticism and no doubt a fun team to watch. Blyashov is a candidate too, but not quite as athletic, but taller. Her sister Taylor was in the video in a few places also, mainly just acting as a decoy or passing from middle back. Broadly agree with you. FWIW, I thought Rubin looked better in HS/Club than either Harvey or Blyashov. Julia is really long though and looks like she has big upside to me..... Haven't really seen Kurt.

Just feel the need to bring this from page 4. Still feel like we are in detention while the other kids are out playing.

Still feel like we are in detention while the other kids are out playing. ik its no fun but its good for them. hambly is probably giving the portal very minimal attention if any at all with how few players would be academically eligible and good enough at vb there's not much for him to look at there. he always doesn't have to worry about losing anyone either to the portal and can focus this spring with a set group of starters coming off a really good season. the players know their roles and dont have to be concerned with hambly shopping around in the portal, hopefully it slows them to be more focused

A really high caliber middle is about the only place IMO where an upgrade might help substantially. It would have to be a graduate student, but is there anyone left in portal-land that could still step in and help?

Maybe I missed this, but when did Stanford actively pursue transfers?

Where did Robinson wind up? Haven't seen an announcement from her or Ofoegbu does Ofoegbu have 2 years of eligibility left? That would be an amazing pick up! She’s a hammer!

Not trying to sidetrack this discussion. Just a couple of news items about alumnae. Alix Klineman is expecting a baby boy later this spring. Kristin Klein Keefe and Cynthia Barboza Wilkes will be inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame - along with Don Shaw.
