If PSU can nail down the setting in 2016, they will be top 3 in the Big10. We need an above average setter and that's the biggest issue for the next 2 years. I'm hoping Rivera will really push Weiskircher for the spot. Either way, the setter must be able to run a faster offense. It was too slow and predictable last season. After 2017 we'll be in serious need of OH's. We need OHs now. Not really 2016, but I didn't know if there was another thread for this. Kaitlyn Hord, 6'4 MB, 2018 from Lexington United committed to PSU per RK. Yay. More non-Outsides.

I'll stick to the setting position as the primary need on this team. I don't believe PSU has scholarships left for more hitters in 2016, at least for not any middle-of-the-pack OH's.

Do not agree, IMO vball is progressively being dominated by setter, libero and middle play, PSU is not top shelf here at all, Haleigh aside, but it takes two at that spot. there RS is average, and they gave no proven P2, heck there P1 Franti just had an average year. Russ Rose is great, but he is not magical. Be realistic this is not there 2014 class coming in. More than just a few teams in the BIG could finish ahead of PSU next season. Nebraska and Wisconsin are obvious, Minnesota is relevant, Illinois has the second best setter in the conference and good returning pieces, and do not sleep on the Michigans. State has Autumn Bailey coming back healthy, along with there entire huge staring line-up, and Michigan has everyone back including the second best libero in the BIG, and the best incoming defender in Clarke, plus a top tier setter in Welsh(last season they made the tourney with 2 walk on setters). Rose knows all this, if he pulls it out next year, then he is truly the man.
Russ is a great man but he still puts on his pants one leg at a time. What they really need is a dynamic recruiter like Dani Bushboom. PSU will be fighting for 4th place this coming season. Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are simply loaded with great talent, PSU not so much. So you think "Dani Bushboom" is a better recruiter than Salima Rockwell? Another genius observation about an issue you know nothing about. First suggestion: learn the names of the people you are talking about suggestion: learn something about recruiting.

Dani Bushboom Kelly is a much better recruiter than Salima in my opinion but you are entitled to your opinion. Until I see a couple top elite O/Hs commited to PSU I see no evidence to change that outlook in the slightest. It looks like Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have learned more about recruiting in the past two years than PSU based upon PrepVolleyball class ratings. I don't need to be a genius to see who is winning on the court and the recruiting scene lately and it isn't PSU. www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=205534182

Stop being ridiculous.

Stop being ridiculous. IMO it was overrated just like Stanford's 2012 class. But anyway you can't depend on one good recruiting class every 4 years as we are learning now. Things change very quickly in college sports and press clippings are very temporary. Next season PSU will only start one AA player who was last seen walking with crutches.

Just a general question, is "You don't know what you're talking about" a fair response?
I can see that it is if the person does not know what they're talking about--especially if the responding person "knows" what they're talking about. But when it comes right down to it, how is that type of response much better than, "Oh yeah?"
One thing PSU threads seem to share is that few of the participants actually know anything and "those who do" are seldom willing to share.
I sure don't have an answer. Every year or so I get mildly perturbed over the lack of real information and the back and forth that ensues.
Only six months until the season's start?
