I don’t see Haley Warner prominently mentioned for the starting lineup. I remember Stanford was trying really hard to recruit her. I believe it would have been our first volleyball player from the state of Arkansas. We lost out to Florida. I heard one of the reasons was she expected more playing time along with many other good reasons for her decision. It would be somewhat of a downer for her to compete against Carlton for OPP position if that’s how things line up this season. I kind of wish she would transfer, but maybe we'll have a Joseph situation If Warner redshirts this year, which she should if we run anything other than a 6-2, she'll have 2 more years on the right. Joseph had 1 and made a huge impact that year. Warner has an opportunity to be the lone senior on the 2022 squad and the leader of the team that year (lots of talent coming in). This whole 2020 roster sans the freshmen will have graduated by then. She'll also be a major contributor next year regardless of the system we run. Gotta think she's looking big picture. Joseph, Kellum and now King all waited 4-5 years for their turn and made us better in the gym everyday. Greer's playing time reduced each season and she still stuck around. Warner has a lot of recent examples to lean on to see how she can make the team better in more ways than taking big swings in games.

Alexis Stucky just committed. I have seen Shannon liking everything of Mendelson's. Does anyone have info on these two?

Maybe Hammons can be the DS for Carlton. Then she can pass to take pressure off the OH’s. Hall and Caesar are the starters at OH for me. Sucks for Hammons because she is a senior. Unless she moves to libero? Sounds like most people don’t think that happens. 100 percent agree that Hammons should DS for Carlton -- she can play defense just as well if not better than Cerame and Fischer and she can also hit a D ball or really anything else. Or she could hit out of the Pipe and play middleback while the OH plays on the right. What would be the drawback of having Hammons DS?

At least that I can think of.

It is her Senior Year and I feel like Mary values loyalty a ton. Also she is the best serve receive passer on the team...there are times Halls struggles in SR and Paige would have to take over. You lose three rotations of her passing. IMO I don't see that happening.

The only way all three OHs can play is for 2 of them to compromise for only playing front row and the other only in the back row.

You lose three rotations of her passing. IMO I don't see that happening. You do what’s best for the team. If Florida is better with Hammons as a DS, that’s what she’ll do. Hammons is in her senior year, it’s all about winning. This is what happens when you have three very good Outsides. They will battle for those two spots. If Hammons loses the battle, she’ll play DS. Ceasar didn’t come to Florida to sit on the bench. Carlton is staying on the Right Side since she’s a senior. I think Hammons will accept t whatever her role because she wants to do what’s best for the team.

If you always want Hammons serve receive for 6 rotations, have her play libero. Libero doesn’t have to only play left back. She can play middle back or right back as well. Have the DS that comes in switch over to left back. I think FL will really want to use her best asset as much as possible.

She's a much stronger defender than Hammons. Paige is a FAR better passer than Ceasar though. If Ceasar can hold up in SR, she'll play 6-Ro. If she can't, expect to see Hammons for at least 3 rotations.

If the Gators run a 6-2 would Ceasar see time on the right with Carlton? Then the team would have Hall and Hammons 6 rotations with the option to DS if either needs a spell for a couple rotations.

Off topic, but does anyone know where I can watch the Florida vs usc match? I don’t have any subscriptions to flo or anything like that.
