Not to turn the convo, but is she mormon? If not, maybe that would be a reason for her transfer. Correct me if Im wrong, but its not a requirment to be mormon?

It's not a requirement (Roni Jones-Perry isn't LDS, for example). As for Robinson, I really wouldn't want to speculate on any potential personal reasons for her wanting to transfer. I will say on the volleyball aspect, I'm not actually convinced that she was going to necessarily have a larger role next season. In theory, she would, but she's not a very efficient hitter (she hit .204 last season), so it's possible she could be supplanted by one of the OHs from last year's class or an incoming freshman. Whereas if she transfers to UVU, there's a pretty good chance that she would be the best outside hitter on the team right away. While she would be a fairly significant loss, I don't think she's irreplaceable. Gneiting going on a mission has more of an impact on next year's team. |

She will be a nice pick up where ever she lands. @bigwestfan2 how was her serve recieve and digging? Would she make a good libero at another program? |

Remember too, she wasn't played at OH in the two playoff games this last year until the very last of the Utah game. Also, there is only one Non LDS player on the team currently and it is not Madi. |

Wouldnt be surprised if she left Utah, but at the same time...there are better VB programs in Utah than UVU. Weber State has turned into a solid VB program. Maybe she heads up to Utah State with a new coach.

Hah, I know what you're thinking and no - I don't think so. She's not a particularly good passer (2.09 grade - 50.5% good passes) and defensively she's also only OK. She doesn't dig with great accuracy and was playing alongside one of the top Liberos in the nation, so didn't have to do too much. I suspect she'll stay at OH and simply find pastures new. There are Liberos in the portal, however... good ones even, it's just whether or not UH has a shot at them. Do they have a scholarship free? |

Actually, if she went to UH, I would want her more as an OH haha, but I was thinking she could go to Utah to play Libero, but seems like her numbers aren't up to par, especially in the pac 12 |

She doesn't have the passing or the range defensively. I think she'll remain at OH and she'll be a good option for a different team. She is a solid OH and, yeah, she's not going to set the world on fire but in the last two years she's been at 39% and 36% in kill efficiency, which certainly isn't bad. |

If Robinson is really leaving that means BYU will have 2 new outsides next year
Any chance Grimmer(lefty) pulls a Drews and moves to the left successfully?? She definitely has the athleticism and passed and played 6ro in club. They’ll have Tolman that can play on the right

Robinson is gone for sure. She dropped all her classes.

Maybe she heads up to Utah State with a new coach. While it's true that Weber State is better (Utah State is definitely not), UVU is in Orem, which is right next to Provo. She wouldn't even need to move to a new apartment if she didn't want to (there's a lot more student housing near BYU than UVU). She's also from Highland, which is closer to Orem/Provo (10-20 minutes) than it is to Ogden (about an hour--the difference might not sound like much, but it would be to me). Logan is even farther. |

On the BYU match threads, people weren't too impressed, though she did have some nice moments like in the Stanford match. I like Robinson, but offensively, I think she's a bit limited. When she gets the ball in system, she can hit it as hard as almost anyone in the country (during the tournament in 2018, the ESPN announcers mistook her for Roni Jones-Perry a couple of times). But she's not great out of system, and she's also error-prone. She actually had 15 more errors than Miller did despite having over 200 fewer attempts. This is why I wasn't necessarily convinced that her role next year would have been any larger than it was this year and may have even been reduced. So if she wants a larger role, I can't blame her for transferring. |
