Because 3 juniors who were top 10 recruits (2 being AA) aren't enough? (Rolls eyes) Frantti regressed. Washington ain't a pin hitter and Simone Lee hasn't met the expectations usually associated with a Top 10 recruit. I agree with jagdpanther. This. Even with the troubles of passing and setting last year, the hitters (except for Washington, most of the year) were not what you'd expect of a team that has recruited so well. Lee is not panning out so far. That's a big disappointment. We're not bringing in any new hitters. We have to hope that the current hitters work out for two years until new ones get here. That's a long time...

Who will fill the leadership void with the loss of Whitney and Courtney?

That's a long time... I don't think it was so much the setting. When I finally saw Bryanna Weiskircher against Hawaii, I thought she was fantastic. But have to say the defense/passing was off at times. With Courtney and Whitney gone.....that is a lot offense they have to make up.

Going into 2016 season Nia Reed will have two years of training under RR and staff and should be ready to be a factor and she could have a big impact on pin hitting. She is probably the best athlete on the roster and at 6'2" if she lives up to her potential she should be a difference maker for another three seasons.

If I were to guess today. This is the first time in a long time where I think we might see a 6-2.
If so that leaves a very very little room for Ds substitutes due to limits.
OH1 Frantti OH2 Reed (Pierce/Ds)
OPP- Powers/Lee (3rd passers when needed)
6-2 setters Weiskircher/Detering (both great servers)
M1- Washington M2- Gorell
Libero- White

Detering at setter and White at libero Or Bryanna at setter. I think she's much better than Brianna.

Maybe this has been discussed, if Deterling was so good how come she did not beat out Dagostino at Florida? I know they toyed with a 6-2 with her early season but it seems like Dagostino beat her out eventually. IF she was back up at Florida is she good enough and better than PSU's other bevy of setters?

Probably, the coaches like a setter who follows the game plan. Being a lefty is a plus also.
