Russ Rose has publicly criticized his players. Critisizing and berating are not the same thing. In general, Rose is very even-tempered and positive.

That helps for the future, they still need 2016 help What's the scoop on Humphreys? Is she an elite setter? Will she be able to play S/RS at USC like Johnson?

There was speculation earlier, on the Future for Stanford? thread, that she might have been on Stanford's radar. Won't be arriving until 2018, so...

Wonder who will set in 2017 AP is the only setter I know of on their roster if Baylee doesn't return this season. Could be that Mick has someone else coming in that we don't know about, but I would say that's doubtful. He went with 1 experienced setter a couple years ago (AP), and that season was a mess. A good part of the problems then were related to Ebony and her injuries, but setting was a major issue as well. If they can get the ball to the hitters properly, the Trojans will have an excellent season. If not, it will be a struggle.

Mick should have redshirted Ebony that year knowing she wouldn't be 100% even by the end of the season with a fractured back. Trying to win at all cost. Cost Ebony physically and mentally. I agree with the setting was a big issue that year too.

Yeah, but she was really homesick and probably was going back to Texas anyway whether Mick redshirted her or not.

Setting, it seems, has been USC's achilles' heel for some time. Hopefully they can bring in some good setting prospects.

Word is that the team will add at least one more setter to the roster before fall camps begins.

I heard a transfer is coming from Gonzaga. No joke. They (Gonzaga) have two setters, a soph and a jr. Both CA kids. Don't know anything about them, but strong club credentials. Guess we'll find out soon. Do you know when USC opens camp?

It'll be Nikki Leonard from Gonzaga. USC starts fall camp the second week of August.

Posted last week on Baylee's public social media: In the full pic, her shirt reads "We Are The Women of Troy" Hopefully it's sign that Baylee is closing in on clearing her NCAA status for the Fall season ...unless the selfie was taken in that Lamborghini : )

Word in L.A. is that Alexa Strange will take 5th year to play indoor for the Women of Troy.
