Drechsel is a big loss, but the depth in pin hitters is there for them, so between Crenshaw, Bush, Endsley, and Wilmes, they will likely be just fine. Summers will hope to finally get in the starting line up after waiting for a couple of years. Summers has been waiting a very very long time! For a top recruit like her, she sure is one patient gal. It helps that she has a life away from volleyball.

Okay. The question of the hour. Bush or Crenshaw? Hitting%: Crenshaw .354 Bush .154 Blocks: Bush 39 Crenshaw 6 Digs: Crenshaw 225 Bush 19 Aces: Crenshaw 25 Bush 7 I don't find these stats very helpful, as it's really apples and oranges, with the vast majority of Shannon's stats from the back row and Emoni's from the front. The hitting percentage is somewhat telling, even if Shannon's sample size is still relatively small. The one area where we all agree Bush has an edge is in blocking. How to weigh that advantage? This is difficult because you can assume that Bush not only will get more outright blocks (including solo blocks) but you can also assume that Bush will get better touches on blocks, thus providing the defense with more opportunities to get in system. But is the blocking advantage for Bush so big that it negates her tendency to make significantly more errors? And then there's Crenshaw's better defense, passing, and no need to sub for her in the back row. Last but not least, Crenshaw simply has more experience, including a deep run in the tournament just last spring. You know where my vote lies.

I would agree that Cook could view the Bush/Crenshaw decision situationally depending on a) who the hitters are on the opposite side of the net (i.e., is blocking a paramount consideration) and b) what's happening on the court during the match. We already know that Cook is willing to make changes mid-match depending on how effective a player is.

Appreciation post that UW started the season 0-2! Yeah, they went 17-1 over the final nine weeks of the season. Nice job. Now let's hope they go 6-0 over the next three weeks.

I agree that hitting and blocking are the two most telling metrics, although digging (floor defense) also matters, whether back-row or front-row. Better digging also translates to better serve-receive and allows removing Drechsel without resorting to two-receiver serve-rotations (Hoffman and Bays), even if Crenshaw takes less than a third.

We already know that Cook is willing to make changes mid-match depending on how effective a player is. I think passing stability is gonna be the main factor going forward. It's been working fine for us with 2 people passing in Hoffman and Bays for three rotations. WSU was a tough serving team (#1 for pac12) and we needed Crenshaw as the third option. I don't think we have enough data to determine who's a better offensive/blocking option between Bush and Crenshaw. Also, I think it's also nice to give the freshman some big game time experience. We are fortunate to be deep at our OHs.

I see the two, plus Endsley working interchangeable in that spot through the tournament.

It gave a lot of pressure for the passers (Hoffman especially) when playing against tough serving team like WSU. I also think that Endsley's role has been reduced to serving sub with Crenshaw being a better OH option.
