I still feel like it's a natural move to have Landfair on the right if/when Samedy leaves after the spring. Allows for both Rollins and Wenaas to play on the left.

I'm sure she won't stay that way, and will fix it. She's #1 for a reason.

Landfair was great one day, bad the next. Her potential is exponential, but she is still pretty raw. Jenna isn’t as terminal, but will probably function as a new Rollins (but appears to be a better passer, thank god)

The easiest route for Wenaas to get playing time is if she can pass better than Kilkelly. Highly doubt she'll replace CC or Rollins, unless Rollins is really, really struggling to pass in a particular match then I could see a situational sub.

If Rollins wasn't replaced based on her passing performance in the second match against MSU, I don't see it ever happening.

For the record, people who know have told me that the additional year is NOT exclusive to football. So the option will be available to volleyball players, should that be the course the players and the program want to pursue.
[At the U of M, I should add.]

[At the U of M, I should add.] The only thing that is in doubt is if Coyle will allow non-football teams to incur the cost of providing aid to super-seniors at the level they were receiving as seniors. He said no last year to spring sports athletes who had Spring 20 seasons cancelled and were then coming back for Spring 21. So would assume more of the same.

I didn't really pay attention to high school volleyball this past fall, so I was pleasantly surprised to see Lauren Crowl named metro player of the year (Kennedi Orr out with injury).
Is it true that she will be a walk-on or non-scholarship addition this fall? I've seen some video of her and she's got a wicked lefty armswing on the right side. She's also very tall and seems to have a real interest in playing the game well beyond hitting.
I'm so interested to know if Samedy will stay with the program into the fall. She'll obviously start on the right if that's the case. But if she does not stay, it'll be interesting to see what happens on the outside. I'm nervous about Jenna Wenaas getting antsy about not playing if Rollins and Landfair stay ahead of her on the left. I don't want Wenaas transferring out becase she doesn't want to wait to play until she's a junior in college.
But even if Samedy leaves after this spring, who knows if maybe Crowl would get the nod on the right with Landfair staying on the left? I could realistically see, as I've said numerous times at this point, Landfair moving to the right for a year (or two) until Rollins graduates. Landfair and Wenaas on the left with Crowl on the right would eventually be a good group of outsides. Then they have McKenna Wucherer coming in '22. Embarrassment of riches with the only real question being who beats out whom for playing time.

In fact, she already has had some playing time. "until Rollins graduates" She already has graduated and is working on her masters this year. I think we will see her one more year but I don't know. "Landfair staying on the left?" Landfair passes well enough to stay on the left. I don't recall her taking any swings from the right so far this year. Not even in one rotation. In fact, I don't remember Rollins taking a swing on the right either. It would be nice to have one of our left sides hit from the right for one rotation to allow easier receptions like Hart last year.
"Embarrassment of riches with the only real question being who beats out whom for playing time." This is already a problem with Wenaas, Landfair, Rollins and Miyabe. Its not even a clear choice for this year, although things seem to be leaning towards Landfair and Rollins.

The Gophers have been stacking in ro-1 this spring, but when they got stuck in it during set 3 of the first Maryland match, they did split for two balls. Shaffmaster didn't set Landfair on the right as the Gophers lost both points. Next ball they stacked again and Landfair got them out of the rotation. But it looks like Landfair on the right is an option when they are having issues in ro-1.

Sorry, I can't recall

Sorry, I can't recall They tried both. She hit long on a 2 the point before they split. Then they went to Samedy on the left but she was stuffed. There was one more error by Myers, then Landfair got them out of it. With shaky ball control it will be interesting to see what the Gophers do in ro-1 against Purdue.

I can't imagine where else I would've hear of Crowl being non-scholarship other than on this board. But I could be wrong. I'm aware that Adanna Rollins has already has her undergraduate degree. My question is whether it's likely we'd see her beyond fall 2021 because this spring does not count toward eligibility. Unless she finishers her masters before fall 2022, which would be super impressive. I'm not sure how many college credits she had coming in after high school.

I know they want Miyabe available for the double sub, but if we're talking about Wenaas as a DS, Miyabe should also be in the conversation. Still sorry that Appiani didn't stick around.
But I also think RK can do the job.
