The link works now. At first glance, the only thing I disagree with is classifying Ballard-Nixon as a "role player." She certainly has some limitations in her game, but she is a good player. She seems like an all-conference player by definition, since she was on the WCC first team in the spring. Actually, now that I look at it, I also would classify both Morgan Bower and Abbey Dayton as role players rather than all-conference. The backup middles (and also Tolman on the right side) are harder to gauge, since the position has had quite a bit of depth. But that hasn't really been the case with the defensive specialists.

Thanks for all the work. Not so sure how much stock I put into recruiting rankings now--particularly now with prepvolleyball.com not super reliable (the other rankings simply don't do well evaluating some of the areas where BYU typically get's athletes). Regardless, I do believe that some of Heather's best recruiting classes are coming in over the next three years (athletically and skill wise).

Point taken on TBN. I assessed her after what I felt was a very disappointing year last year (perhaps due to slow injury recovery), but I would agree that she deserves better and have adjusted. And I would agree on our two back row players as well.

Just based on being named Leilani, I'm going to predict Hawaii. *I CALLED IT* She’s from Chicago. But I like where your heads at Chicago it was. http://instagr.am/p/CQO3nl-MegY

That's good. I was a little disappointed when I saw the participants of BYU's own tournament. Pitt should be a good test for them.

BYU just released their fall schedule. This is a little underwhelming in my opinion, aside from the Pittsburgh match.

Wow, even with the departures, that is a big roster. 19 players. I also missed that Tolman transferred out.
