Yeah, per the scrimmage this week -- Rubin, Baird, Ipar, and Blyashov are slated as outsides; Kipp and Harvey at opposite.
Personally, I honestly see Ipar coming in before Blyashov if a backup is needed; but here is to hoping that Baird isn't in a slump or inconsistent like last year! But regardless, on the pins, Stanford is loaded with plenty of solid options. We just cannot sustain injuries or problems at setter or MB.
Also, Oglivie coming back for one more year. So, we are solid on L for one more year!

I got through without paying. No more informative than you would expect, but at least it's there. |

Again Ipar is not an OPP at Stanford. Per her During the European trip, Kurt played leftside and Harvey on the Right-side the entire trip. So I'd say you are correct. |

really interesting hambly said on a podcast that this is the most competitive gym he's ever had. he referenced the 2019 teams saying that there was also a ton of talent that year, but he feels this years team is a more competitive gym. great new for us !
also referred to francis as "a different player" when asked about her health and current standing

Pin hitters are generally pretty interchangeable. The only real difference is you generally have to pass as an OH. If any of our pin hitters went down the next best of the freshman likely slide in any of the positions. |

also referred to francis as "a different player" when asked about her health and current standing my fantasy team will rejoice if she pushes more like 2.4 kps this season. let her serve while she’s at it! |

I think it’s really hard to compare US recruits vs international recruits as they’ve played very minimally similar competition. But we we will certainly see in a year or two who brings more to the table! |

Feature on the team posting later this morning. Interviewed Miner, Rubin, Oglivie, Baird and Francis and we covered a lot of ground.
