I hope the Ducks can find a way to keep Nuneviller at libero. I think she could be an AA. People can disagree but I’m putting her up there with Lake, Hentz, Curry, and White. Just wait till you see her hit. |

Seems like a nice get for Oregon, surely solidifies at least depth on the team. Who do you think will be the starting lineup come this fall The starting lineup will be interesting. Sounds like Nuneviller is moving to OH. So Murphy is Libero. Borup is the other OH, Willow is OPP, Kylie Robinson at setter, Ronika and maybe Karson Bacon in the middle? Based on the end of last year, we may see Willow stay in the back row at least to serve, possibly stay if we need more offense. I think you’re half right, but not complete. |

I'm curious as to whether nuneviller has the type of athleticism that we see with Brazil's Gabby or Belgium's Britt Herbert's or is she just going to be a really great NCAA player as an OH and if she had any pro aspirations it would just have to be at libro

At this point, it's a semi-educated guess. I would love to hear other opinions of what the lineup will be! |

I have no doubt that Nuneviller can be an effective OH, but I'm skeptical that she can be an elite OH. Since Ulmer promised her the opportunity, he's being true to his word, but I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually uses the evidence of her OH vs. libero play to talk her back into the backcourt. JMO, but Nuneviller's value is maximized at libero in terms of production over replacement at the two positions. Imagine Nuneviller at libero and Murphy as DS? I'll go to battle with that tandem any day. |

What Oregon has to figure out is if that is worth having a less terminal and lesser blocking OH in Nuneviller. |

What Oregon has to figure out is if that is worth having a less terminal and lesser blocking OH in Nuneviller. That was my point about production over replacement. My assumption, and I believe it's probably accurate, is that Nuneviller/Murphy has a higher POR than Murphy/player-x given Oregon's pin hitters. |

Why y’all playing like giving Nuneviller more touches doesn’t make almost any team better?
Also, players level up over what you saw their 18s year in a college gym (particularly physically), and that offensive production would go down is a big assumption that hasn’t been born out.

I think Nuneviller could emerge as a Stacy Sykora type player in College, and then as a USNT player! She is athletic enough, even if she is under 6', to be a high quality OH at a top 20 program, and she has great volleyball IQ and fundamental skills to go along with that athleticism which has made her a great defensive player. She is already one of the best serve / receive players in the country regardless of position. That is not a bad future if I am close to correct!!

I'll go to battle with that tandem any day. Sounds very similar to Annika Albrecht . . . If Nuneviller can be as a sophomore what Albrecht was as a senior, then by all means, put her on the pin. Albrecht had issues terminating in her limited opportunities during her underclassmen years, and even during the OOC her senior year, but then somehow flipped a switch and became a very effective attacker while maintaining her pass/serve/defense prowess. She graded out as the best non-libero passer in the history of the Husker program. On a tangent, I'm sad she gave up volleyball. She's one of the best all-around technicians I've seen in the women's game. When Tyler Hildebrand came into the program, all his teaching cut ups were from the men's game, but he thought so highly of Anni, that he mentioned adding her clips to his collection. |

I think the point with Nuneviller as OH is to ensure passing will be superior all the time with her and Murphy since the offense will likely revolve around Stone

I've watched enough video of Nuneviller (front row) to know she has a very high VB IQ. She will finds seams and holes in the block if they exist. She has a good arm and can bring heat much like McClure. If the campfire is open for a tip she will put it there.
Obviously the D and passing is there so only issue in my mind is blocking. For example, Nuneviller versus Fitzmorris would be a mismatch. Ulmer might have to sub in a taller hitter/blocker when mismatches occur and are being exploited.

Making Stone the focal point of the offense is nothing new, but would Oregon be a better team if they distributed the attack a little more if they had some bigger arms on the pin? Does better passing get Stone more opportunities? Does playing a first year libero and setter together make them better, or is it more prudent to go with a proven libero with a new setter? There's a lot to consider, obviously. |

I am curious if Borup has ever been healthy enough to play an entire season? Who is the next backup OH if she is injured?
