Haven't kept up with Oregon this season yet. how's nuneviler doing? She was a phenomenal Libero, wonder if she'll do as well as she did this year hitting. Kind of question that decision as she could make it far nationally/internationally as lib. She is a good hitter and all around player but how's she doing against the blocks? As heavily debated in previous messages and other threads... seems like stud college liberos nowadays have become useless internationally and getting beat out by OHs for that position. Probably not a bad move by Brooke to switch to OH. |

Nice article on Ronika! Special Player! The article: "No, Stone isn't going to be perfect for the Oregon volleyball team this season." Me:  |

Probably not a bad move by Brooke to switch to OH. I guess that's true. Don't think she'll ever get the opportunity to play OH at the next level. She's super solid but obviously lacks height (5'10? 5'11? I could be wrong) to be able to compete at the OH position on USA. If she can do that though, kudos. Rooting for her. One of the best all around players in the NCAA in my opinion. |

Robinson shouldn't have redshirted!
Nice to see her prove Raskie didn't belong on the court last year.

Robinson shouldn't have redshirted! Nice to see her prove Raskie didn't belong on the court last year. No Oregon fan should be allowed to complain about last season. AND now you have Robinson for four more years with all that young talent. It’s a win-win. |

And someone of her caliber shouldn't be taking a year off from competing. I'll still watch Oregon but can't be a fan anymore, too many coaching hijinks degrading intelligence. |

I'll still watch Oregon but can't be a fan anymore, too many coaching hijinks degrading intelligence. Plenty of very talented players redshirt their freshman year , especially when a coach is smart enough to be thinking about prolonging the long term success of their organization. Plus they are still practicing with the team and developing. Was Cook dumb to redshirt obvious talent Lauren Stirvins? Or Elliot w Asija O’neal? Or Hambly this year with Caitie Baird? All of them good enough to start their first year but it’s what makes the most sense for the team long term. I look very forward to watching Kylie and the other redshirts play for many years to come |

August Raskie was an All-American last year (and not just an Honorable Mention). She never got credit for the things she did well, only criticized for her mistakes. Ulmer made a bet that, if he handed her the offense, she would settle in and become more consistent (remember - she hadn't set a 5-1 since her 15s years in club - she was a setter/middle on her HS team and she either set a 6-2 or played opp for club across from Poulter). The Ducks finished 2nd in the PAC and made the Elite 8. It worked and she grew so much in her year with the ball in her hands.
Robinson was very good last year, but not as good as she is now with a year to adjust. She would have gotten court time, but the two setters would have been pushing each other and Ulmer probably would have ended up forced into a Sealy-like setter roulette and potentially shot the confidence and belief out of both of them. Ulmer made a big, tough decision to redshirt Kylie, and it paid off, and you have to give him kudos for that.

I am shocked that people have any different opinion than this, I felt like Raskie was one of the few Setters in the NCAA that could consistently run the tempo of offense at that speed year round with that much success. She obviously ran a fast offense better than SSS from Minnesota. So weird to read comments from haters when you can’t spot the source of their hate. |

She improved a lot her senior year, so there were already biases against her from her first three years. She also tended to break down when out of system a lot.. but even then, she was setting really well, and, once she got command of setting from the front row again, her offensive net presence was terrifying. I mean, ferchrissakes, she got an ITALIAN SERIE A contract right out of college. Professional scouts picked her out of there. |

Not setting LVW was a big development opportunity loss for Robinson. And someone of her caliber shouldn't be taking a year off from competing. I'll still watch Oregon but can't be a fan anymore, too many coaching hijinks degrading intelligence. It's not like she didn't have the opportunity to set LVW, just not in games. She was there for practice and was able to get better. The Ducks are stacked and have an insanely talented young crew which will be great for deleveloping this team for the long haul. She has Brooke and Taylor for 3 and 4 years, talented new middles and OPP. This team should contend for a title when they hit upper class status.
And you want to complain about hijinks that every coach in the nation does in terms of red shirting players? And again, it's not like she didn't compete, she just didn't do it in games. Practice time, time in the gym, in the weight room molds the player in games. And she had all that just not the actual games.
So get off your high horse attitude and either be a Duck or GTFO

But the August hate got to go! The girl is a talent! |
