She is giving me some Andi Jackson vibes. Anyway, imagine having her and Harvey both come to Stanford. We can have both of them as starting MBs and have Lizzie Andrews as the Opp.

Is this girl a Stanford commit? Shes good Uncommitted and rumored to be. She’s following Stanford Athletics, Stanford university and Stanford volleyball on Instagram. I’d say she’s a lock

My word. There is no question about her. She is good. I would LOVE to have her at Stanford. Also, who is that setter? It's not easy to get the right height and location for a hitter like Erika, but this setter's sets were great. Of course, in this video we only see the good plays. Still, really great connection in this small sample. I believe the setter is a Georgia commit?

Tomorrow is FF4...for some reason I feel a bit annoyed and sad that we won't get to watch Stanford team in FF4. Another year that we let the opportunity slip through the cracks of weaknesses we could have filled. 😥 A small chance we make it to the FF next year if Blyashov and Harvey outperform expectations. We'll still have issues at the MB position IMO. Winning a championship with our talent vs (say) Nebraska, looks doubtful. 2025 and beyond, it would depend upon who we can recruit and how teams like Neb, Texas, Pitt, L'ville, and Wisconsin gather and develop new talent. As history has shown, you need BIG recruit classes to have a decent chance to win a NC.

Incoming libero Malyssa Cawa was selected for the Under Armour All America match. She will play on ESPNU on Jan 2nd at 4:30pm EST. Lizzie Andrew and Taylor Yu aren't playing unfortunately. underarmournext.com/volleyball/all-america/I'm assuming Cawa is the heir apparent at libero after Oglivie, since it doesn't appear that any legit 2025 libero targets have emerged?

I wouldn't assume that necessarily. Look at this way, 2026 is still available. If you didn't find a top L in 2025 you just move on to 2026 and try to recruit one there. IMO Cawa looks pretty good in her videos regarding quickness and reads, but open questions remain. For example, can she dig college heat, and what about setting OOS. She's played a lot of sand so ball control on anything slow (free balls) should be solid.

Very interesting about Greer. On Instagram she doesn’t follow much in the way of Stanford. First name I’ve heard of as the Libero recruit. Thanks

Yeah, she's good (SoCal, Torrance, Sunshine VB Club, 5'8", big time arm, looks like a libero with strong lower body) -- don't know if she's committed. I checked on her a few months ago but couldn't find out if she had committed anywhere.

She needs to be more agressive.

She needs to be more agressive. Well, you can always be better, but did you see the setting for Wisconsin and Pitt last night? Miner's location runs rings around the setting I saw from those teams. Our biggest problem was lack of offense in the middle -- Vicini had very little range and Francis was very inconsistent and predictable. This forced Miner (with input from Hambly) to be more conservative and use her pin hitters disproportionately. Unfortunately that made the offense more predictable, but at least she tried to balance out the attack between Kipp, Baird, and Rubin.
