Huskey has AA potential. She's athletic, tall, a great blocker. She just needs to work on her location, and decision making. She is tall and blocks well. She is not a strong setter. |

Her location is suspect, I will grant anyone that that said she has only really set three rotations for one year because not much her freshman year at all. She should make great strides over the spring and summer. I see Hall and Hammonds on outside. King and Kramer in middle and Mia at RS next season with Warner taking over at RS sometime in the season moving Mia to back up all pin positions |

Mia on the right is an interesting prospect with her length and the knowledge she'll never play backrow. Maybe she'd pull a Shainah: Largely ineffective on the left but an AA on the right. Whooo knows.
Hell, maybe even Kramer a la Lutz and put Kellum in the middle to start for the first time in her senior season, again like Shainah. Kellum can sliiiide and impressed me this year in her limited chances.
Regardless, Warner needs to earn her starting role, which should make her better whether she gets it or not.

Wasn't Joseph a Right Side originally? So it was only fitting that she was successful on the right side.

Hammons was a top 5 recruit right? Would be disappointing if she stays a DS for the rest of her career

How good is King? Is Kramer really that much better than her?

I remember last year when some people were suggesting Kramer should be moved to opposite. So what happens? She stays put, improves an awful lot and becomes an All American. So yeah, Mary should move her to opposite in her junior year? Not going to happen, and it shouldn't. Kramer had a bad Final Four, no doubt about it. She looked scared as hell. But the woman is a middle and will continue to improve.
As far as using Shainah as example of moving players into different positions, ugh. Another questionable decision by Mary was moving her to outside her junior year. Imagine how improved Greer would have been this year if she had played last year. I believe Shainah should have been used at opposite to give Holston a break, which at times she obviously needed.
Going forward, let's hope Mary makes more decisions such as keeping Kramer at middle and less such as moving Shainah.

Huskey has AA potential. She's athletic, tall, a great blocker. She just needs to work on her location, and decision making. She would have to play six rotations and run a very effective offense to be an AA. Look at Monserez. Led the nation in assists per set in 2016 and only got Honorable Mention. |

Going forward, let's hope Mary makes more decisions such as keeping Kramer at middle and less such as moving Shainah. Kramer improved a lot with her footwork and transitions (whether it be laterally to block at the pins or off the net to back up and attack), but that jumping ability still has a lot to be desired. The body styles of Lutz and Kramer are extremely different, specifically in terms of weight and strength. Kramer will never be Lutz and she doesn't need to be. Be efficient, be solid.
That Shainah experiment last year was exactly what I was talking about with Mary valuing experience. Once she got injured in the first match against Nebraska and Greer got the start (and played well against Oregon), I thought her position was pretty much solidified. But once she was back, Mary took Morgyn back out of the lineup and only put her in when Shainah was struggling (which was often) and it led to her not getting consistent opportunities. Greer definitely should have played all year.

I do not think anyone should go into a program like UF and think the job is theirs. Whether your Warner, Hall or Fischer the starting job needs to be earned. With that said both Warner and Hall have excelled in high school, club and at the international level.

Agree. Kramer made huge strides from her first to second years, and I'm sure her junior year will have her playing at a new level. Sure she had a poor showing in the final, but she'll learn from it. Just because Lutz made the transition to RS doesn't mean Kramer can. She doesn't have enough range, and I fear what the off-blocker defense would look like (read: none). Joseph was special, in that she could cover good ground and had so much range in terms of her attacks and how well she could transition. My prediction: Kramer stays the M2. King came in highly touted, and she has major shoes to fill. I do like Kellum, as she is a pure slide attacker, which the program has missed for years. I also love it when a player who rides the pine finally gets the chance to break out her senior year. Maybe her on the right-side? Setting will be interesting. I predict either the 5-2 or a 6-2 with Husky playing all the way around and attacking. Might see far fetched, but I predict they toy with it. I think the younger Monserez takes a redshirt, Warner is in the mix to play RS across the front row (with Mia and Kellum getting looks in the off-season), and Hall locking in the L1.

Most definitely Coach Wise will be working on the back row passing/defense off season. Honestly Paige Hammons really stepped up her game in the post season and will only get better. The back row defense will make a difference next year. Having all of those hitters upfront doesn't matter if you have no defense. I would not be surprised if one or both of the incoming freshmen get a chance to make an immediate impact.
