Hey Hawks fans! I've got a draft match thread up for tomorrow's match at Illinois. I'd love a hand with the Hawkeye lineup! Basically I try to list everyone that gets regular rotations, setter all the way to serving specialist. If you've got suggestions please post them over on the match thread. OR post it here and I'll keep my eye out for 'em. Thanks!
Here's the thread:

Anyone have info about what may be happening with Maddy Hanson? I believe she was in street clothes on the sideline a couple of weeks ago and I don't think I saw her on the sidelines at all this past weekend? I could be incorrect about that, of course, since was only seeing fleeting glimpses of that area on TV. Regardless, sure hoping she is ok.

She was on the bench for the Ohio St match in shorts. No knee braces or anything of the sort. Don’t think she traveled to the Syracuse tournament either. I don't believe Caspers will be playing the rest of the year but could be wrong.

Just always feel bad for any player in that sort of situation.

Wisconsin up next. Don’t think I'll be making the trip down for this one. I still have visions of Franklin hitting the 4/5 seam at will last year. Hawks had no one that could block her. Maybe they get to 15 in a set or two?

We are currently in the middle of a tough string of matchups. Purdue now. Then Penn State, a resourcing MSU squad, Penn State again, then a Maryland team that finished off what we couldn’t against an exposed Minnesota.
We currently sit at 2-15 in sets won in the B1G. Let’s see what we can make happen tonight.

Hawk serve receive & defense are not the best tonight. Hitting negative for the match as well.

2-18 in sets won in the B1G. And those 2 sets were against a team that just lost to Rutgers in 4.

2-18 in sets won in the B1G. And those 2 sets were against a team that just lost to Rutgers in 4. Certainly not many positives. Shaky setting & being terrible at first contact makes it difficult to be competitive. That 13th place preseason prediction might unfortunately be accurate.

We have only had this poor of a start twice in the last decade. The last time our coach was fired mid season. BUT, the time before that we then went 8-6 for the remainder of B1G and had a massive upward trajectory for the next couple of seasons!

I like how the Hawks compete until the end but obviously they are a work in progress. October 21 is the halfway mark in Big 10 play. Let’s see if they make progress down the stretch.
