Her health is the biggest issue. She missed some time in 2019 due to a concussion and her body has a lot of volleyball mileage on it. The other question is if she can get confidence back in her serve. On a good day, Ruddins possessed one of the best hybrid serves in D1 and used it to blistering effect in the 2018 season, forcing opponents into one of the worst good pass percentage scores against her serve in the country that year. However after struggling to control it early in 2019, she switched to a standing float serve which she used all season and, based on the opponent good pass percentage, was little more than a free ball. Otherwise her all around game is good. She is a solid passer and defender. She touches 10'4 and reads blocks so well that she is rarely roofed. There have always been questions regarding her competitiveness - she could have played at a higher level than UCSB - but hopefully we'll get to see her shine on the pro stage.

I believe this time currently with her pro season cut short and no real indicator she is invited to team USA, I feel she is getting quite the break, mentally and physically. Hoping she has a long and success pro career.

Does anyone know if this league has a limit to how many foreigners are in the court at the same time? I remember reading that they were targeting a few of the recent Stanford grads

I remember reading that they were targeting a few of the recent Stanford grads There’s no foreigner limit in the German league. I think this same club is also targeting Fitzmorris, which would make three Stanford grads on this team with Morgan and Jenna.

Would rather see her in Germany than Japan(where she is rumored) I feel the same way. Would love a full Stanford reunion in Germany. Don’t think Japan is the best move for her.
