I’m traumatized after Devin and Nuneviller Still, I think the coaches made the right decisions. 💯 agree on this. As much as I wanted Brooke to play for Stanford - she was a better fit to Oregon and their needs. I was in constant communication with Beth, Brooke’s mom, during her recruitment process and I was broken-hearted (to say the least) when I learned the news that she was headed to Oregon. I think she is a fantastic person and player but like what Cruz’n said, the coaches’ decisions were on point.

I’m traumatized after Devin and Nuneviller Thanks for mentioning Devin Kahahawai. I liked Kahahawai a lot in prep - Hawaii’s Gatorade Player of the Year and the starting opposite for the U21 team. I was hoping Stanford would land her before - that’s all in the past anyway. However, she hasn’t really made huge contributions at Texas so far. Maybe next year, who knows? We got lucky with our 2022 recruit though even if we didn’t land Kahahawai. Rubin has been a rock in this team. To be fair, Kahahawai would just be sitting on the bench if she came to Stanford. There is no way she would have supplanted Kipp and she would hvae tough competition with whoever ends up on the right (either Harvey or Kurt) in 2024.

We need dominant middles like Foluke and Inky to come by. We haven't had those for a while now.
Really miss Logan Tom's caliber as well. Imagine we have her in the backrow...she would have dug so many balls.

The Card are currently on an eleven match winning streak, with 6 sweeps and a 10-0 conference record. Ever since beating Louisville 3-2, they've not had another five-set match. Also, they're #2 in Figstats. For those averse to modified RPI with bonuses/penalties? Don't be. It most nearly mirrors the selection committee's choices and seedings at the end of the conference seasons. Surprisingly WISC is now 4th.

We’ll never see another Logan Tom again from the USA. I mean love Larson, she’s truly a once in a generation talent too, but Tom. My god

I agree. There are "once in a generation" players, and "once in a lifetime" players.
Foluke was a once in a generation player.
Logan Tom was a once in a lifetime player.

To be fair, weren’t the later two due to admissions? OMGGGGGG... could you imagine Ross and Tom on the left. Nnamani on the right... that would have been the first 3 peat. Kelly Murphy with Klineman for 3 Akinradewo and Barboza for 1 ... That would be been INSANITY! The biggest miss for us was Murphy IMO only because she would have made the biggest difference in the 2008 title game & potentially making the Final Four in 2010.

I personally don’t feel we would’ve beaten Penn State even with Murphy. Would’ve been a more competitive game for sure, but that PSU team was not going be denied. I agree about 2010. We would’ve easily made the FF and possibly even won the NC.

Quick question. I have noticed that both Oglivie and Rubin are hitting a top spin serve. The weird thing is they are doing the traditional toss where you put top spin on the ball. They are doing a standard float serve toss and then snapping their wrist. Any idea what the idea here is? Are they mixing up float and top spin to confuse the passers?

Biggest miss: Hodge and Ross. Ross wasn’t a miss - she wasn’t available to begin with, unfortunately.
