Then it changed because before that was factor. Hey my top choice would be penn state. But if she wanted to come out so SoCal I’d be able to see her live. I’m assuming a lot will depend on how season finishes. Not trying to put down Florida it’s just I think most see in her time there Mary hasn’t used her right way in my opinion. She’s got friends there though so she could stay. Just depends on what will make her happiest. Frankly, since Lee and Frantti graduated, the OH position has been a revolving door for Penn State. If the last few seasons are any indication, it's that Penn State is no better at actually developing OH's than a number of other programs. Penn State has had good success taking players who were already billed as being as top of their class and keeping them relevant, but, despite the program picking up a number of players outside of the top 25 for their class over the last half-decade (Bailey, Clark, Ferguson, Cathey, Putnucki, Powers, DeMure), Russ Rose and company have turned none of them into impact players. That's certainly not to say that Penn State isn't a standout program, of course it is, but it certainly isn't the only program out there that can work players into a roster for success. None of those were players of halls status. Nice try though. As a penn state fan you know how many of those players I was super excited about coming Into penn sate? 0. ACF I have so excitement for though. None of those players you mentioned were anywhere near halls talent out of high school the last comparable psu had was haleigh Washington and she lived up to her skill level. Both her and hall came out of high school as top players in country. I understand they play different positions but I’m talking about skill level out of high school. I’m not saying she has to be other worldly like a player such as hooker or plummer but I believe she’s far more talented then what Florida is getting out of her. It’s just my opinion. I also get that the best players can make something out of anything and you can know it’s coming and still do nothing to stop it. Plummer is most recent example I can think of there. They’re many great players that have played on the National teams that arnt at that level but still great players. I just want to see potential maximized is all. In the end it’s just a game and just something to debate and banter but not super important in grand scheme of life |

I was talking about hall. I was saying she really needs to go to a coach who knows how to use her. I am hearing things. We all just want Thayer to be happy |

I thought what they did with Gorrell last year was impressive. Lots of credit to Gabby Blossom for the success of Gorrell. Blossom is a winner. She knows how to set hitters and gives them the ball they want/need. I could see Hall and Hammons really *blossoming* with an elite setter like her. Also, life gets easier when you are in system and have Kaitlyn Hord and Serena Gray as your middles. There will be a lot more open looks for Hall to bang into the cross court. |

I understand part is what you have working around you and blossom is more skilled setter then what hall has had. Hord can me monster. Florida is too predictable. Not that that is always bad because teams can be predictable and you still can’t stop it unfortunately Florida isn’t that |

The SEC Schedulers really said Merry Christmas to Florida!
Florida gets LSU, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky ALL at home....
Their road matches are Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

I wonder if they can get one (or even two) wins against the cats this time around. |

Their road matches are Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. I'm curious how the home vs road record looks for each team. It's proving difficult to sweep, even with the home court advantage, especially if you throw out Kentucky's and Auburn's results. That being said, no doubt the Gators would prefer to play their toughest opponents at home. |
