Watching her videos, what really was apparent to me, is that she has very quick muscle reflex. Something a volleyball player needs to become very good. I have no idea what you mean by "very quick muscle reflex." I believe people call it, "quick twitch muscle reflex". Ability to move, react, very quickly, quicker then most ordinary people. |

I agree height is not everything but it’s not all about offense and backrow defense. Why not have a solid hitter with leaping ability, great passing skills, and huge presence at the net? The last Wahine player to have all of that was, I believe, Kim Willoughby. People may say, how about Kanani Danielson. To me she lacked that huge presence at the net that Kim Willoughby had. |

I am thinking, Wagoner and Hellvig, could be one of the best all-around OH tandems to come along in a very long time, if they stay healthy.

Even the likes of Hartong and Taylor are good enough. |

Wagoner/Hellvig > Granato/Castillo I am hoping, keeping my fingers crossed, Wagoner/Hellvig = Kahumoku/Willoughby, the last really Great LS tandems. If Wagoner/Hellvig, get even close to those two, by the time they are done, I will be very happy. |

CHANDLAR DUFF
Middle Blocker | Grosse Pointe South HS | Grosse Pointe, Mich. | Senior Aces: No. 92
About Chandlar: Along with Bacon, Duff provides the Ducks with another big, dynamic athlete coming in as a middle blocker. Long and lean at 6'2", Duff's speed and lateral movement enables her to be a tremendous blocker in the middle. Duff played for Grosse Pointe South High School and Legacy Volleyball Club, and she was a key member of the Legacy 16 Elite squad that finished top five nationally. A sprinter in high school, Duff's speed and athleticism should make for an exciting and explosive player for the Ducks.
Ulmer's Take: "Chandlar has the best smile in the gym. Her constant energy and passion is going to help her grow into a big-time middle blocker. Chandlar is quick and long limbed, she has a whip of an arm and effortless jump. She glides when she attacks and has great blocking instincts. Chandlar has all of the physical tools to be a dominating force at the net and I am so pumped to watch her game develop every day."
Chandlar's Take: "I toured many schools throughout my recruitment process and none of them hit home like Oregon! I chose Oregon because to me, besides playing college volleyball, I wanted the campus and the area that I would soon call home to be everything I ever imagined, like the education, being surrounded by other high-level recruits and, mainly, the coaching staff. Once I met Matt, I had an instant connection and knew I wanted to further my volleyball career with him as my coach at the University of Oregon."

I have no idea what you mean by "very quick muscle reflex." I believe people call it, "quick twitch muscle reflex". Ability to move, react, very quickly, quicker then most ordinary people. Fast and slow twitch muscle cells are relevant to physical endurance vs speed (or explosiveness), e.g. a marathon runner vs a sprinter. In terms of reflexes (and volleyball skills such as passing or blocking), visual acuity, or "tracking", is much more relevant. |

Leaving oregon Hopefully, she remembered that rocking atmosphere she experienced when she was here with the team. However, she is from Michigan so I don't think we have had many luck getting transfer kids from that area of the country. Usually kids from there will transfer to a school closer to home not further from home. She will have a lot of options to choose from. I still rather have Ava Bell since we have had success with Texans and believe Bell may feel more at home here since she have been to Hawaii on vacation before and is friendly with UH beach player Julia Scoles. Ava is also a OH/MB type so she can move to another position if she is needed there. |
