Says she's listed at 6'8 and plays for Select, so I'd definitely assume she'll be a high major recruit assuming she can adjust to her frame and stay healthy. I saw her play recently. She definitely has potential, but plays like a Sophomore right now. 6'8 might be an exaggeration, though she is tall. Also on this Hopkins team, SSS's sisters (good lord that is a lot of S's) play well. Especially the outside hitter. Do the twins have Minnesota potential? Does this Tall Girl have MN potential? I am hoping there will be a Hopkins game on YouTube sometime this season.

Is Landfair projected to be an OH or RS for Minnie?

I am hoping there will be a Hopkins game on YouTube sometime this season. Oh my that is a great question. I am not sure... I would guess that the twins do, especially the outside hitter. I had to keep reminding myself that I was watching an 8th grader and comparing her to her all-american sister who is nearly 10 years older when I found myself thinking she wasn't SSS good. But she is an 8th grader and is probably going to get a whole lot better. I am not sure how tall either of them are either. My first impression of the tall girl, Alexandra Holmgren is that no, she isn't, at least at outside. I would have been interested to see her at middle where she didn't need to pass. She hit smart, but not with a ton of power. Also note, that this is all observations based on one match I attended at the beginning of a high school season. So take it with a grain of salt...

Is Landfair projected to be an OH or RS for Minnie? I'd wager RS. Nice that she could be an option for either, though. There's some word that Wenaas might actually be a better option at OH next year (based on her ball handling). No way Landfair starts over Samedy on the Right. Great to have options!

I like your new name too. I always say me best position is “left out.”

I'm probably 3 years too late but did people make a lot of "Twin Cities" jokes when Hannah and Paige were there?

For the simple reason that Landfair committed way before Wenaas did (as she was committed to Texas A&M), I'd assume Landfair had the understanding that she'd most likely be playing on the left pin her first season (as Samedy would have one season remaining in 2020). Tough to imagine the #1 recruit in the country not starting her freshman season; that wouldn't make anyone in her shoes happy.

I expect Hugh will do what he thinks will win matches. Not simply what Landfair wants. I just think eventually Landfair will end up on the right side, largely because of her height.

I personally don’t understand why everyone believes Landfair needs to somehow be a RS because of her height. Samedy is well established there and Glenn (a lefty) would be coming in the following season. We already know Landfair can hit damn well from the left side too and would be our first strong blocking LS since Wilhite. She’ll almost certainly be starting from day 1 with a DS sub for her.

Make what you will of this. Oldish, things have changed, but it's more recent than anything else readily available.

I think of it in the context who else MN has coming in at OH. Wenaas, Rollins two more years, Wucherer in '22. They're all either very good or have very good potential. If everyone's going to be used alongside each other, it seems natural for Landfair to be utilized on the right. Although she looks explosive and is a lefty, I don't see Natalie Glenn starting opposite. I'm not arguing Landfair can't hit on the left. More that they'll need her more on the right.

You're leaving out Miyabe, too.
Somebody redshirts?
