Looks like someone needs to add another column on his grid:) I love these outside hitters but we need some middles too.

Brady Starkey's kid. A setter. I have no idea who is recruiting her. Maybe she wants to play for her father.

Saw a pic recently on social media of the two newbies with Morgan, Samedy, and Hart. What struck me is that none of the last three mentioned are far apart in height at all. Rollins appears a couple inches shorter than any of them. I'm wondering how she will stack up on the block.
I'd imagine her similar to Bates out of Wisconsin in this regard, once she learns the MN system. The question is if that is enough. I guess there are always taller outsides to sub in for a slightly more imposing presence.
Certainly not opposed to seeing Martin, McLean, or Kleinman get some action. I really like Kleinman personally and think she has a great skill set overall. Hoping she sticks around.

Rollins has the advantage of an impressive vertical. And, supposedly, she's 6 feet. Shoes are always a factor in civilian photos.

I think it's significant that Martin was hurt last year. Still think she has a high ceiling.

I think her injury was probably what that was about |

I have seen Rollins in person and reasonably close up; I don't think she's 6' tall. However, I'm not going to act like I can eyeball a person's height perfectly. That's said, she's very athletic and very skilled. I'm a fan of her. And generally, I'm a fan of undersized but skilled pin hitters. They're just fun to watch, imo. |

Anyone else hearing transfer rumors re: McLean?

Anyone else hearing transfer rumors re: McLean? No, but it would not surprise me. Especially if she wants to play. She could be a starter at many schools and a stud at D2. OH is going to be really crowded next year. OTOH, if she's happy at the U and wants to compete for the spot, more power to her. She certainly had her moments late in the season. |

I am also curious what Kleinman can do after another year of getting healthy. I'm not sure about her potential, but she was coming off a knee injury. Her ball control was pretty good for a frosh.
