Russ wouldn't have given her a 4 year scholarship if she wasn't the excellent libero he was looking for. You need to have more faith in the coaching staff. They have been working hard but hit a rough patch recruiting O/Hs. Good news will be coming. "we need to have more faith in the coaching staff"?

I've seen her play. She's an excellent recruit. She'll start if she's better in serve receive than the other candidates. Thank you for stating the obvious. Why does a "Nebraska FAN" always post and be a smart a$$ on the Penn St. thread?

Funny that I was wondering what your purpose was on this site. Go figure.

They have been working hard but hit a rough patch recruiting O/Hs. Good news will be coming. What are you talking about? I already said she is an excellent recruit. Why would you think I "need to have more faith" in the coaches? I haven't doubted them at all have I? You have no idea what is going on with recruiting. You continue to invent stories about it without knowing anything about it. The only truthful thing you've said is acknowledging that you have no idea that serve receive skills and defensive skills are different skills.

Do you know what you are talking about? Not so much. Why would you think anyone on current PSU VB team is better than Kendall White at being a libero? PSU has at least 7 L/DS players and still none of them were up to satisfactory play. Coach Rose was forced to use another scholarship to beef up the back row and you imply that she will only play if she can beat out all the other non-adequate back row players. Then you say you haven't doubted the coaches. You seem very obtuse in your logic as if you have to hedge every comment. I suspect you have very few original thoughts and simply paraphrase others. No one seems to really know who PSU is recruiting except Thayer Hall and the player from PR. If good news is not forthcoming then PSU has some soul-searching to do to figure out what is going on with their O/H recruiting.

Any other OH from 2018 are on PSU's list? I know I am fishing here.

I'll try one last time to go slow for you. You've convinced me that you're still learning some very basic things.
I have not said that PSU has a better libero than Kendall White. Whether or not anyone on the current roster is better will be determined by competition in the gym. Coach Rose was not "forced" to use a scholarship on anyone based on anyone's play last season. He offered White a scholarship and she accepted that offer before last season even started. I have not made any public prediction about what the outcome of the competition will be.
I did not "imply" that White will need to beat out other players in order to play. I very directly with no "hedge" or "paraphrase" asserted that she would need to do this and I pointed out that competition for the libero position in college is primarily about serve reception. I pointed that out because another person seemed to suggest that defensive play was more important. This does not doubt the coaches in any way. If the coaches were willing to talk with you they would tell you that White will play only if she can beat others out for playing time and that serve reception is the primary skill for the libero position. By your odd thinking, the coaches would be doubting themselves in saying that.
Lastly you say that no one knows who PSU is recruiting. I think what you mean by this is that you do not know. The fact that you do not know who else PSU is recruiting is not a problem for PSU.

OK, it is not worth further debate. IMO Kendall White has the libero job until she loses it.

Penn State is no different than any other top tier program, the best players play. Unknown freshman take starting spots from veterans every year. Russ Rose did not get to where he is, by making decisions based on sentiment. Penn State had a real problem with back court and setting last year, trotting out the same players and hoping for better results does not seem like RR mentality. I am sure outside of maybe Washington/Frantti that every starting spot is open, and Rose would be happy to watch a freshman grab one.
