Double sub for right side with setter always in back row (Shaff and Ng). Wucherer and Wenaas at OH, Landfair and Crowl on right. Weirder things have happened.
So basically a version of a 6-2.

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. Nothing is certain, but I’d tend to agree. Neither Landfair or Wenaas have done enough to safely pencil themselves in on the left side next year, even if some of their inconsistencies fall on Shaffmaster’s setting, inexperience, what have you... There’s a lot of time for both to take major steps in their development in the meantime. It’ll be interesting to see it all play out. I like the idea of getting an impact transfer as well. I think our DS spot needs some upgrading.

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! Chloe is great. Is a very intelligent player and capable of running any offence. Her location is probably her strongest attribute. Will definitely need to get stronger, especially at the net, to compete in B1G. But Gopher fans will love her energy and athleticism. We didn’t have a high school or club season in Canada last year so those clips are from 2 years ago.

Explains why there's no new game footage, considering the first one vid was pretty ample

Wow. Didn't know Landfair and Wenaas were already busts.
Let's put it this way: IF Landfair and Wenaas don't both develop into AAs (and imo they are on that trajectory already), Minnesota is in DEEP DEEP trouble.

I do think there's a good potential that Wucherer is better than one or both of them in her freshman year. But that says more about Wucherer than it says about them....

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. Ahem. Just one example. Carry on. I've already wasted too many brain cells on this thread.

I think our outsides are going to be one of our strongest (and deepest) positional corps a few years down the road with Wucherer being a key part of it.

Any way it is sliced, the loss of Samedy to graduation will have the biggest impact on this team for next season. I will also not forget McMen, Myers and Miyabe who have brought a lot of talent of their own to this program.

I've already wasted too many brain cells on this thread. Suggesting that Wenaas could sub in off the bench isn't really saying she's a bust... she's doing it right now and she's still playing very good, at times. Like I said she just needs to get more consistent and keep her confidence up.

It might come down to Hugh rotating Wucherer in on the right and the left in preseason, she’s good enough to hit from either pin IMO. Let’s not forget people, this is a good problem to have lol
