So the assumption is Texas, Baylor take first and second. What are the predictions for the next 5 teams? I think Kansas, Iowa State, and K-State could be good, K-State in particular. They've got three solid pins, but I'm not sure about who their setter is. TCU has arms too, but for some reason they usually don't get it together. I don't know enough to have an opinion about Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.

Kinda weird that Bramschreiber was left off. it was obviously very hitter intensive with no Liberos and just one setter, too bad really.

Bramschreiber not on the Preseason All Big 12 team is interesting yea was just thinking that preseason polls don't mean anything ... just a nice press release before starts. each coach puts together a list of their own kids who are potentially worthy, then the rest of the coaches vote on that final list. no set rules on how many pins, middles, liberos, setters have to be on that list. no doubt she'll be on the end of season award list this fall... the only time it matters.

Im interested to see how Kansas looks this year. With Bien and Davis coming in, they have some good talent. Kansas has a nice mixture of vets and young players.
It starts with Mosser and Crawford who both were a big part of the offense. Mosser returns for another year which allows Kansas to have a veteran 6 rotation player. Crawford just keeps getting better and will be a force in the middle.
Then you have vets in Langs (MB) and Szabo (RS) holding down two spots. They both are solid contributors who can produce. They also are great blockers.
At Setter, McGhie took over for Nielsen and eventually started to play pretty well. Hopefully she can take the next step.
Passing is still a question mark. Farris played decently well towards the end of season. Angello was solid. Passing needs to be better for Kansas to be better.
IMO the biggest question for Kansas is will Bien play Libero or will she be a 6 rotation OH? I think Kansas has more options at OH than in the back row. She has the opportunity to really sure up the passing, which would allow Kansas to set Crawford more. But if Bien plays OH, it gives you another reliable hitter who can also help pass. So it comes down to who performs better Elnady/ Davis OR Farris/Angello. Farris and Angello are the vets while Elnady and Davis are younger so it will be interesting. So yeah my early rotation prediction is
OH Mosser OH Elnady/Davis MB Langs MB Crawford RS Szabo S McGhie DS Farris L Bien
OR
OH Mosser OH Bien MB Crawford MB Langs RS Szabo S McGhie DS Angello L Farris

I’m suprised baylor hasn’t received more votes.
They’ll have an insane pin trio or four if they run a 6-2. Granted so will Texas but still expected the first place votes to be more spread out

Granted so will Texas but still expected the first place votes to be more spread out I think the reason behind the disparity is that Baylor as a team did not gel well together i.e. not having consistent contribution from the opposite position.

It could also be because there is no consistent setter for Baylor between Sedwick and Williams. And the passing is about to get slightly worse for Baylor as Bowden is no longer on the roster. But Baylor has many puzzle pieces it can work with and will still be a challenge for Texas. Texas just returns one of the best front lines in the nation and Iosia is no joke either. She is sure to be the bro and Peterson excelled as a DS.

I cannot wait to see who ends up in spots 3-5. I can see K-State or Kansas finishing in that third position.
