All of a sudden she's 6'1". When I was in HS and playing basketball, we had our heights measured. I measured at 5'11". Coach said "no, you are at least as tall as so and so and he's 6'." So, into the program I went as 6'0" tall. When regions came arounds, I was listed as 6'1". We had a pretty good team and there was a newspaper article about the team and it was mentioned that I was 6'2". Season ended and I went back to 5'11". Funny thing, I was able to wear the same sized jeans all thru that time. I can't believe that it is healthy for a person's height to fluctuate that much

I didn’t slot Hanson as ever getting much playing time at Minnesota (being that she’s 5’11 and will play behind Wenaas/Landfair/Wucherer), but if she really has grown and has as good of “hops” as people say, she could definitely challenge for playing time. Crowl/Glenn might end up being the odd one out. But there are certainly ways they can contribute as well. Interesting that you're making height the determining factor as opposed to athleticism or skill level. If she's 5'11" she's not seeing the court BUT if she's two inches taller, she's now a consideration.

B1G and the MN program tend to favor height at the net. 🤷♀️ We seem to have a lot of talent coming, I'm interested to see how it all plays out. I have a hard time thinking Crowl will not get much playing time again next year. If she doesn't beat our Wurcherer not sure she'd see much playing time in the next few years. But maybe she's ok with that. Also not sure how Glenn fits in unless she becomes the next Kilkelly? I'd like her to stick around to develop her serve more. We need a good jump server.

But it’s pretty rare to have someone under 6 foot starting in the Big Ten, especially at Minnesota. Regardless of her height I hope she gets the opportunity to play!

Assuming Landfair/Wenaas only play for four years, Hanson would only have to wait until she's a junior to potentially see significant playing time.

True, assuming we don’t get any other massive OH recruits. I don’t think we have any for 23 yet

I feel like Wucherer is the real deal so it's hard for me to imagine her not playing next year. Very curious to see how things shake out next year.

Indeed. Although for the most part she was a starter her freshman and sophomore years. She just didn't start playing like an all-B1G performer until her junior year.

Also not sure how Glenn fits in She has a huge vertical. While she wasn't metro player of the year in Dallas, she was Texas 6A All-State two years in a row, in addition to being Second Team Under Armour All-American and multiple-time All-American with PrepVolleyball.com and MaxPrep.
Aren't these the main factors?

I'd say they are.

I think its odd how we talk about Glenn not getting any playing time when she already has. Her block needs improvement but her offense was good. We have had good undersized OH do quite well. Hailey Cowles under Hebert and Adanna Rollins under McCutcheon. (How quickly we forget that Adonna wasn't 6' tall until she came to Minnesota.) Hanson will play so long as she is the best option Minnesota has at her position. That will probably be determined in practice. I think all of these pin hitters will get some playing time.

Hart was claimed to be 6' flat on the roster.
