She definitely was not injured, not sure about the exact criteria to qualify for a red shirt, maybe someone could explain that??

Do we know that she was injured? I cannot find any press clippings stating so, it looks like she just didn't get playing time after the Stanford match on 9/19. The match prior against Cal she hit negative with zero kills and she played in 3 sets against Stanford but only got one swing. Was it an injury or was it just lack of performance that kept her on the bench? I don't see where she got a medical redshirt and she played in 26 sets before not showing in the box scores anymore. I also do not see anything in the dignittany writeup that has any information about last seasonI didn't find any information about the 2015 season, and had to move on to things that pay the bills.

PSU will have 8 hitters including their incoming freshman Demure Simone Lee, Nia Reed, Ali Frantti as outsides Haleigh Washington, Thelen and Gorrell as middles Washington, Lee and Frannti have all seen significant playing time, Thelen was worked in here and there, Reed has not seen any real time, Gorrell and Novakovic did not play, Demure is not listed on any list of ranked preps. PSU will still have Weiskircher and Rivera as their setters. Frantti struggled throughout the year, PSU fans (on VT at least) were unhappy with Lee mostly. I do not see PSU finishing in the top 5 in the Big Ten next year given the returning strength of other teams in the Big Ten and the returnees PSU has. Are you sure Demure is not coming in as a setter ?

Agreed it's gonna be a transition year but psu has never finished outside of top 5 in conf ever. Could it happen, of course. I don't see it though. Means 5 teams are gonna have to be better. I see Nebraska and wisky, maybe Minnesota. 5 teams in conference arnt gonna finish ahead of psu.

Pemm St played better when they had better players. It its the Jim's and Joe's more than the X and O's. Yikes. If you're saying that it must be bad.

Demure doesn't look bad.

interesting to say the least...is she transferring to penn state for school or like...to play on the team? and what position? only was able to find clips from her HS club days and doesn't really look like the type of player psu would go for Just curious, what's not typical about her? perhaps it is the outdated video, but doesn't look like she'd be able to compete for one of the outside spots...then again she does have 2 years of college training under her belt. But Russ and Co know what they're doing more than I do so I'm excited to see what she can do!

Uh, MTC... what's with the Husker Nation thing? Have I been completely oblivious to something? Did you lose a bet? That's what Bandwagon fans do!!

Demure doesn't look bad. Watched Blossom play a few weekends ago. Runs a nice offense and sets a REALLY smooth ball. She's a bit small though, but I'm sure it will be no big deal.
