I certainly never made any claim that she wouldn't. You suggested RS might be Robinson's natural position. It isn't. I don't know what else you could be claiming. Was there a RS with better stats this year in the country? Depending on who is available on your roster to block in the middle, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to toy with the idea of lining her up on the opponents OH and feeding her a lot more balls on offense than she would get in the middle. Will her coaches keep her there in college or on the NT? US coaches at the national level are about as conservative and uncreative as I have seen in any sport, so no, probably not. |

When Rettke leaves she goes to the middle to partner Hart. The badgers always have two really good middles, and she is too mobile to leave out on the pin. They need her in the middle to cover the space. There will be another player that can fill in on the right. The badgers have a 6-9 player coming in who is now practicing with the team who can play on the right. Demps can play on the right if Orzol/Jardine/Gregorski can fill in on the left. They have Gorum and Wohlert who can play there. In 2022 they have Anthouli coming in from Greece who is a natural RS. |

Doesn't mean they won't move her, and I have no idea what their plans are for her or when she will be ready. |

They will opt to leave Hart and Robinson in the middle unless Smrek does really well. If Robinson stays right, it means the rest of the NCAA is in trouble because there is a rettke replacement. I don't think Smrek will be ready to fill that spot from the get go. But then again, Rettke surprised us. |

Orzol will be a very good Opp. Robinson is a MB. She is putting up great numbers on the right because she is a stud, not because she is an Opp. |

I agree. Supposedly her talker sister who is a hitter is very good, but I don’t think Whitney is untouchable People are being absolutely ridiculous. Bower was the best player in the WCC, but because she couldn't beat Wisconsin by herself, it's a problem? Please. That’s not what I am saying. I just simply stated I don’t think she is untouchable. She very likely will be the setter next year, but I was just discussing the likelihood of the setting recruit having an impact. I am not insulting Whitney. |

Surprised to see BYU has multiple non-white players. That’s great! Shouldn't they just be trying to build the best team they can? What does race have to do with anything? Are you implying they should field a worse team if it means non-white players are there? |

They mostly recruit LDS people who are mostly white due to the honor code . That’s it. |

"They mostly recruit LDS people who are mostly white due to the honor code . " What does this mean: mostly white due to the honor code? This is very poorly written. Most (but not all) BYU players are LDS. And most LDS people in the US are white (worldwide is a very different story). |

"They mostly recruit LDS people who are mostly white due to the honor code . " What does this mean: mostly white due to the honor code? I realize this appears racist. I wrote this really late I believe. I was just implying that most lds people are mostly white and so due to the honor code it is hard to recruit outside of LDS people. I was not implying POC have no honor or are bad. Poor wording on my part. I just meant most LdS people are white and recruiting outside of the sphere of specific people is hard for BYU. That is all. Sorry for the mishap. Oops |

I was implying that most lds people within the US are white and that is their primary source of recruiting. Recruiting outside of LDS can be difficult. I am sorry about the confusion |
