She has pretty hands, location looks nice. It’s hard to tell from clips, unless it’s an elite caliber setter, then it’s pretty obvious. Her form looks a little… off? Stiff maybe? Her back sets could use work, she arches a lot so it’s obvious where she’s going. All of these are fixable with reps and good coaching. Overall she looks solid.

Much needed with Bayley graduating this year (right?). Still thin at setter, making Kilkelly the third option next year unless portal things happen. The above video is from 2019, this one's more recent (tougher camera angle): I see what you mean about *stiff* but she moves well. She doesn't seem to get too stuck at target if the pass isn't right there.
ETA: Welcome, Chloe!

Agree, she has quick hands moves well and, at least in the highlights, she defends well enough. I did watch for the arching of the back and she got into that arching position too soon sometimes. It's hard to tell about serve in a highlight video because you don't see the misses but they look good. We can all stop worrying about having only one setter next year.

Drive-by post:
Is it possible Crowl isn't playing so she still has 4 years when she transfers? That is, she is taking advantage of some top-notch training? She is obviously redshirting, so either they think she has a lot of potential or they are doing her a favor and not burning a year.
Interesting that Ng's highlights don't include first tempo to the middle (or right side, for that matter). I like her sets, but there's that.

Let a player redshirt for a year so they have more eligibility when they transfer? I feel like it’s more likely that they think she has a lot of potential.

I agree. It is a totally "out there" theory. I do know of players who came to the program for the experience (especially with Hebert), but I don't know of any who redshirted.
I just don't know where Crowl will ever play. Is she going to beat out one of the other pins? Possible, but unlikely imo.
You have to keep one thing in mind: a redshirt year is not an insignificant commitment from a program.

You have to keep one thing in mind: a redshirt year is not an insignificant commitment from a program. Well she’s our only oppo next year i believe. Landfair to the right with Wennas and Wucher as OH would be a great pin trio, but who knows if Landfair can make that transition, her arm swing is questionable for the right IMO.

Glenn and Landfair would be/could be opposites.
The question becomes: do you sit one of Landfair, Wucherer or Wenaas for Crowl? I don't think you do. Now, a lefty middle might be interesting ...

I mean if Wenaas doesn’t get more consistent, and Crowl looks good, I could see Crowl RS, Wucherer/Landfair pins and Wenaas subbing in off the bench.

But not impossible. It's too bad our top three recruit next year isn't a friggin' middle.

I'm not sure if Wurcherer will be able to beat out Wenaas. Wenaas is a great passer and I expect her all around game to improve next year too.

I would be shocked if the #2 OH 18U hitter in the world (well at the World Championship) isn’t playing next year… but who knows.
