And our talent depth chart would look something like this:
S: Nicklin Hames, Kennedi Orr, Nicole Drewnick, Anni Evans OH: Lexi Sun, Madi Kubik, Lindsay Krause, Riley Zuhn, Whitney Lauenstein MB: Lauren Stivrins, Kayla Caffey, Callie Schwarzenbach, Kalynn Meyer, Rylee Gray OPP: Jazz Sweet, Ally Batenhorst L/DS: Kenzie Knuckles, Keonilei Akana, Alexis Rodriguez, Hayley Densberger, Emma Gabel

In such a scenario, it comes down to how the coaches decide to allocate playing time. Do coaches give playing time to the players who were going to start in 2020? Or do the coaches start fresh in 2021 and essentially, let the 21-player roster play out for what it is.
This is a really tricky situation.

They will put the beat players on the floor regardless of class.

Edit: Also, I think Drewnick should've gotten more PT, and one or both of our starting OH's probably should've been DS'd out from time to time.

If there's no spring season maybe. I'm interested in how this will affect the Hames/Orr situation. Now Hames will technically be a junior instead of a senior when Orr gets here which means they'll have 2 years overlapping instead of 1. Probably move Hames to MB, dontcha think? middle-back? Since Nicklin said that she wants to play after college: I still believe her best shot to accomplish that is to train as a Libero. When playing Setter; Her 'ups' are just not high enough to be an effective blocker at the net at the next level, and I really think she could train to be a 'Top Libero'.

Of the 336 American women playing volleyball professionally last year, there was 1 libero starting for her club (and it wasn't JWO). If Hames (or any player) wants to play pro, I wouldn't suggest moving from their position to libero.

Maybe Orr will decide to stay home, you know, pandemic and all. Heh, heh. Young people in NE are very resilient against COVID-19 (As of 8/25). Age Grp/Pos Tests/ Deaths..0-19..... 4,100...... 0 20-34... 10,400...... 6

Zuhn was practicing in how many positions, Fallon was redshirted (i think) and wasn't going to be an improvement over Callie

If you think John cook wouldn’t put the people on the floor that HE feels put them in the best position to win...... you’re crazy. You may disagree with who he thinks are the best players but I assure you, politics not aren’t the reason.

Hames skill set/physical attributes aren't going to get her to the pro indoor level (unless its a lower level league)..... I know absolutely nothing about beach but that could be her option

Zuhn should've seen the court way more than she did, imo.

When Zuhn was put in at MB, she may have been an offensive upgrade over Callie. However, at times she looked completely lost while blocking. I'm guessing Cook made the decision that blocking was more important from that particular spot in the lineup.
