I think Oregon St. beats out Utah. It's going to be another bloodbath at the top. Expect a lot of split weekends. Some general notes for the upper half teams: UCLA- Gotta figure out the setting and getting May back to 1st Team AA level UW- Gotta figure out passing and backcourt defensive touches Stanford- Just gotta play the game Oregon- Gotta figure out setting WSU- They get stuck in rotations too often - Timmer and Dalton need to be more aggressive putting the ball away USC- Is Botkin returning? Gotta figure out their defense to offense chemistry...mixture of the setting and the hitters

WSU- They get stuck in rotations too often - Timmer and Dalton need to be more aggressive putting the ball away how long before they move Magda to M1? They gotta figure out their other middle and maybe Libero? (I think I saw something about McComber leaving on here?)

Dalton had a nice looking platform, and McComber didn't dig that much anyways even if she was solid passing. I think Williams would be a good M2, if they play her there. But yeah, Magda to M1 for sure.

(I think she's a senior, idk) I don't know how we didn't see it at all this season (I mean Greeny got very creative with rotations, covid related and not)

McComber posted on her insta story about leaving and now she *supposedly* is in the portal (I don't have access)

Like even if you don't wanna run her on a slide just put Timmer/Dalton in 1 and have them run a D instead of a pipe... but it really messed with the efficacy of set distribution. Lusby will be key for them too. She has to be consistent because when she's on offensively WSU becomes VERY hard to stop.

Agreed abut USC and WSU. I'd add Stanford too. Baird wasn't good at passing this season. Berty was worse. I assume Kipp was worse than Baird or she'd have passed more often. Unless they move Oglive to OH, the OHs will be Baird and Kipp or Berty. We haven't seen their DSes yet.

So 4 passing / 2 setting. Also curious if Arizona can break into the Top 6.

What was Cal's passing like this season?
They get a really good setter in Maeder, Mima should be back right?
Move Grote to opposite in a 5-1?

I think it's much easier for those teams to find success in other areas of the game than it is for all them to find quality passing.

Does UCLA bring in a middle for 2021? Obviously setting was a mess but that position needs a lift

I can make a simple 2021 thread unless someone has something already pending and In the works
