I think she will go to Stanford with Texas getting Ames She keeps making unofficial visits to Texas. I have to believe Stanford is the favorite, and we’re just waiting for the admissions process to play out. But any time she comes to campus in Austin, UT is a threat. She was at Stanford last weekend to support her sister. Just reading her body language, I'd guess she's going to Texas. With all the visits to Texas, it makes sense also.

Texas utilizes their middle attack. One can hope the long announcement period means she is waiting on Stanford acceptance.

Miner could set the middle in transition more often if she wanted to. I’m sure Harvey is aware she’ll get set plenty

If we had Inky, we'd be setting the middle a lot. But we don't have Inky. We have (had) Kipp. And Rubin. So we set the pins and back row options.

So we set the pins and back row options. I'd say we set the pins and Kipp when she is in the back row. I don't get why we didn't utilize Rubin or Baird in the back row more often. Typically back row attacks are low percentage, and thus a losing strategy. Most hitters numbers go way down when hitting back row. There are of course exceptions. Kipp is obviously outstanding, like Skinner and a few others. I believe that if Rubin and/or Baird hitting from back row improved our offense, then Hambly would have been employing it. More than likely the numbers showed it to be a losing strategy, so Hambly went away from it except in emergency (very broken plays) or extenuating circumstances. That's my take, anyway. If Rubin was hitting .300, or even .230, from back row, for sure Hambly would be using her there. With another offseason of practice, perhaps we will see Rubin from back row next season.

The Odens were pretty good too. 😄 But she recruited many great players and was the mother of the team. She'll never be replaced. We were very lucky to have her at Stanford for so many years.
