That Laker game was so painful to watch. 4/30 on threes or something ridiculous like that.
I think once the post-season starts, the Dubs will be much more engaged. I don't even care about the record any more, just need to get home-court advantage against the Spurs.

I don't expect to see that in playoffs. They are playing without Andre and have been playing without eziele. When those two are back on floor it should help. I just can't see anyone taking 4 out of 7 from them.

Can anyone give a list of the 2016 class for Penn State with the position they will fill? how is this season 2016: DeMure, Emily RS/S 6-2 Farrell, Allison DS 5-9 Krause, Kristin DS/S 5-9 Powers, Clare OH 6-3 Sciorra, Emily DS 5-6 White, Kendall DS 5-7 2017: May, Camryn MB 6-3 2018: Blossom, Gabby S 5-10 Gray, Serena MB 6-2 Hampton, Jenna DS 5-6 Hord, Kaitlyn MB 6-4 Phegley, Amanda MB 6-4 so, 5 scholarship MB's in 2018....seems like overkill. Maybe one will transition to be a backup OPP. Still waiting for at least two high profiled 6 rotations OH's to make their way before the 2018 year. Seems like a glaring hole right now given the name brand that is PSU and Russ Rose.

This is what is so befuddling about PSU's recruiting right now. It makes no sense why we're so heavy on middles and so... incredibly light on Outsides.

There is nothing wrong with the "All-Middle" offense IMO. Everyone's a quick hitter hitting against solo blocks. Run the triple quick anywhere at the net -- that's killer. Then Russ can retire riding off into the sunset as the most innovative coach in vball history.

I suspect the game plan now is to get two 2019 O/Hs and go from there. Of course they still hope to get Thayer Hall. With the opportunity to start immediately it may be possible to get two top pin hitters. Taking walk-ons isn't considered overkill.

If I am a betting man PSU has a trick or two up their sleeves for getting top 2018 OH's.

I still say PSU has a wealth of talent across the from line through 2017 and there are still some top prospects available in 2018, and 2019 is still wide open and there will be a couple studs emerge that no one is speaking of today. Why do people quickly forget that the talent on the PSU roster for the front line right now through 2017 is Championship caliber? ? Passing was the main detriment last year and also created setting issues. Kendall White (Fab 50 Libero) should help solidify that and then one or two of the 8 DSs should improve enough to rectify the 2015 passing issues. 2016 OH/RS Frantti, Jr. - 6'2" should be healthy and back to her 2014 form or better Simone Lee, Jr. - 6'1" should live up to her potential in 3rd year at PSU Reed, RS-Soph - 6'2" everyone knew she was extremely raw coming in; the most athletic player on team should start to show it. She has been forgotten, but if her VB skills catch her athleticism she will be best OH in B1G Novakovic, RS-F - 6'2" players from Serbia that size that come to US tend to be very good. Powers, Jr. - 6'3" should compete and add depth Demure, Frosh - 6'2" if she ends up RS as her position she will add depth and compete. MB are still a strong position even know the MB2 was not an offensive threat in 2015. (I think you all are going to like your 2017 recruit from Texas!)

This list has talent and potential, but it has not yet maximized either. A national championship enhances the aura of invincibility. While Nebraska might be the favorite at the start, there will be 3 or 4 teams contending for the B1G title this next year, as is usually the case. Russ considered changing up his approach in terms of coaching and recruiting, but in the end he settled on the tried and true and what's worked for him in the past.

Hall, Ahrens, Martinez, Bursescu to name a few. and there are more, the top soph list should be coming out soon.

So anywho, I was thinking that Golden State will break the Bulls record, maintain home advantage through the playoffs and win another World Championship.
As far as PSU in general, the only thing that I can speak to is how impressed I am with the Wrestling team's dominating performance in the B1G Championships and push for another NCAA Title.
As far as the women's vb stuff for 2016 and theories on 2015 I continue to find amusing.
Spring and summer 2016 for the women should be fun, exciting and filled with energy. I like the staff in place. I'll leave it that.

2. I watched that..... PSU wrestling could be the 2008-2014 PSU VB of the next 5 years. Bo Nickal RS-F 174 lbs is a stud....oh, and from Texas! 149 lbs is also a bad-ass!
3. Me to on 2016 and future, but I called 2015.
4. Assistant coaches change regularly, and tell me a coach that would not want an assistant that was under RR for a couple years?

Psu, warriors, and giants who are now favorites with Cubs in baseball at 3-1. Id say the last 5-6 years have been great. Raiders are finally starting to resemble a nfl team again and maybe the Sharks finally do something this year. All Bay Area since I grew up here except psu. A lot of competition with u this year vbprisoner. Golden state and San Antonio and sharks and stars( who have best record in west)
