Maybe this USC thread can stick to volleyball!
Any lineup guesses? Lazaro and Botkin are locks. What about everyone else?

I think Owes did fine last year.
So I suspect something like:
S: Lazaro MB: Gryka, Horin L: Hastings RS: Weske OH: Botkin, Owes DS: Barra for Weske
Questions: Will Denny take RS and can Duff unseat a MB.

I was disappointed with Horin in 2019. Unless she is better, I could see Duff taking that spot. The ball control on this team still concerns me.

To help keep this thread on topic, I offer an old volleyball joke.
What passage in the Old Testament has volleyball play-by-play?
[Wait for it....]
Genesis 41:46 (New Living Translation): "Joseph was thirty years old when he began serving in the court of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt."

Get it - volleyball play-by-play=Joseph served in the Pharoh's court. Make sure to tip your wait staff! I'll be here all week.

I was thinking maybe Weske moves to the left with Denny at opposite. Or Denny takes one of the middle spots.

Please remove this post..........Take your politics and religion to the Arizona threads, we don't want that here. Watch it or I will barrage this thread with dad jokes!

There IS another option that would get both Denny and Weske on the floor, keep Barra, (who was really bad in 2019 -passed a 1.89/41% good pass) off the floor) and allow Keller to use one of his transfers... But I don't think it'll be a popular idea in this thread.

But I don't think it'll be a popular idea in this thread. Typically, I'm not opposed to the 6-2, especially if the options are great enough on the pins and the setter is a liability at the net, but I think Lázaro all around game is too good to only have her on the floor for three rotations in the back row. She's a solid blocker. Of course if your idea wasn't a 6-2, please forgive me for speaking out of turn.
