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. Just back from Norway, north of the Arctic Circle, and was able to get photos of Northern Lights. Not certain if this is the same Northern Lights as VT's Northern Lights (and if it is, I want to know how he/she manages the keyboard ) Attachment Deleted

I saw them at Keji National Park in Nova Scotia.

OK, it is not worth further debate. IMO Kendall White has the libero job until she loses it. what can you tell us about her after seeing her play live? She consistently handles serves and attacks that no player on the PSU roster could even get to. Whatever it takes to be a great libero, Kendall has "it". She is a natural athlete with cat-like reflexes and plays like every match is for the championship. Other than that I know very little about how every team she plays on seems to win most of their matches.

How many matches have you seen her play in which she played like it was for the championship?

How many matches have you seen her play in which she played like it was for the championship? I have to be fair. I have seen her play for about 2 1/4 years now. For a while, I thought she was overrated. Within the past year she has proved me wrong. She does play every match like it is a championship and if you're not giving your best effort on the court, she will push you and you will know you can do better. She made an even stronger statement at bluegrass.

It's those who haven't yet have strong opinions that puzzle me.

Nice analogy if you said that about Secretariat prior to have running any races.

Can you post links to the multiple Kendall White videos you've seen that led to your post on March 18? I wasn't aware that Samurai was streaming so many matches.

PSU loving the southpaws. I guess PSU wasn't done with 2016.

Congrats on getting Abby. She will be your starting setter next year, unless your other setter picks it up. Abby's a lefty with a great jump float, all of you psu fans will enjoy her!

Yes she is a lefty with a great jump float. But she isn't as good at setting as Weiskircher. Have seen both of them play and I would take Bryanna over Abby. I'll be very surprised if Detering wins this battle.
