Just a little update on some 2022ers... I recently watched Sunshine 16-Westside and while Keefe is a solid player for her age, I am not too impressed with her vertical or contact point. Rubin would probably be the better "get" IMO... she's a good 6-rotation OH but it's hard to assess her hitting when some of the 16s teams have some short players. Passing is solid and can put some heat on the ball. Also for 2021 Sam Francis is REALLY good... Let’s hope to god Francis doesn’t committ at the new camp this summer!!! If she desoír committ at the camp or shortly after I’d put my money that she’s Stanford bound. She'd be a GREAT recruit. She's a little Kipp-esque IMO. Can hammer in front of setter, on back 1's, and she could also function as a right side hitter. Her mobility is pretty good for her height so she certainly could play middle too. But damn, in 2021 Stanford will have Campbell, Vicini, and possibly Leilah Smith/Annabelle Smith. Kipp may play left/right so who knows where Francis would fit in the puzzle. |

I feel bad for hoe good some of the middles for 2020 and 2021 are that won’t even be playing. |

So Plummer is not on the vnl roster for this summer, are our speculations of her playing with the nt this summer wrong? Does anyone have factual info of what she is doing this summer? Her not being in the gym this summer decreases her chances immensely of making Tokyo. Is she injured? She’s not playing beach to focus on indoor, but where is she playing indoor cause it doesn’t look like it’s with the nt... Doesn't she have to finish this quarter before she goes to train with the NT? |

I was referring to Francis Yes I understood that, I thought when you said kipp may play left/right that you were suggesting kipp “may” not be in the middle and rather on a pin because you mentioned the middles on roster right before that. I just interpreted what u said wrong lol oops |

And lake and Akiu because they are all also on the roster Haven't looked it up honestly, but I believe Stanford goes longer into the year because they're on quarters. Perhaps the other players finish school earlier, so they're available sooner? |

Finals don’t end until after Week 4 (of 5) of VNL Prelims. Makes sense she would join after the tourney.

Stanford’s quarter system goes into VNL season, so that’s probably why Plummer isn’t in NT gym. Staying eligible to play NCAA ball is more important that NT stuff right now. I also saw Hentz and Gray are doing some service/teaching stuff abroad this summer, so volleyball won’t be in the cards for them.

I was worried that she maybe wasn’t invited or got injured, not getting invited wouldn’t make any sense in Plummer case haha. I’m gonna just guess that your hypothesis is correct. Does anyone know if hentz wants to play after college? She doesn’t seem involved in USA or anything which is typical of college players who go to play pro / nt. I know liberos sometimes don’t play overseas because of various reasons. But I hope she keeps training and tries for the nt. I’ve never heard her talk about wanting to in any interviews or anything. Do any first team AA end up ending their career right after college that you all know of? I think bergsma might have but Idk |

Someone told me that she stopped playing after college and I never really bothered to check for myself. Thank you |

Should be done by preseason unless there's an encore. But that can probably be postponed 'til next summer. |
