K-State need a transfer middle. I think they have one but she hasn’t announced anything yet. Didn't they have young middle last year that got playing time and showed promise?

I am speaking about another middle I thought I saw playing time against Kansas Yes, Fernholz was a starter. She's back but Kayley Hollywood is the only other MB on the roster, besides Fernholz, and she has been a reserve her whole career. Vernon and Archibong transferred.

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 While Baylor may have a slight edge at the pins right now, Texas is far ahead in the middle and it isn’t even close. Slight edge? Ok I'm interested to see what Skinner does without a NPOY setter. I wonder if this will be a Quade/Poulter type of situation.

2021 Big 12 Volleyball Preseason Poll Rank Team (First Place Votes) 1. Texas (8) 2. Baylor (1) 3. Kansas State 4. Kansas 5. Iowa State 6. West Virginia 7. Texas Tech 8. TCU 9. Oklahoma The Big12 is so predictable every year. The top is always the top, and the bottom fights it out to stay off the bottom. I keep hearing how these teams on the bottom are making big strides, but year after year the results are the same. TCU and Oklahoma are disappointing to be cellar dwellers. WVU made some gains last year and could be surprising a few opponents this year. TTU is sure to under perform and finish in the bottom three. It would be nice to see KSU, KU, and ISU get back in the mix and challenge the Top 2 for a league title soon. With all the talent available around this league I would think it would be more competitive top to bottom. If I were to guess I think there is level of coaching not on par with the level of talent in this league.

I wonder if this will be a Quade/Poulter type of situation. I’d say Skinner/Harrison compares well with Eggleston/Fields. Assuming Pressley moves to the right side, that’s where the advantage at the pins comes into play, unless you think Phillips has the edge there.

I don't think Harrison is at that level yet from what I've seen. And besides, with Morgan O'Brien leaving for Texas, there's a very good chance Texas puts Melanie Parra on the floor and moves Skylar to the right. I think Eggleston/Parra/Fields vs Pressley/Skinner/Harrison is quite a matchup.

Both 1st Team All-Big 12, both HM All-Americans, both 3-rotation OHs who play with a similar style. If Parra does move into the lineup, things do get more interesting. I’m still not even sure what system Baylor will run next season. I don’t really see them running a 6-2 but they have a lot of depth this year.

If Baylor moves her to Opp I'd give Texas the edge on the pins.

If Baylor moves her to Opp I'd give Texas the edge on the pins. She hit .243 playing mainly on the right side in her freshman season. She hit .249 as a senior last season on the left. I think her offensive numbers take less of a hit with the transition than Skinner or Harrison’s would.

I’m sorry but Fields is definitely a head of Harrison which is evident in hitting percentages from last season.

If Baylor moves her to Opp I'd give Texas the edge on the pins. For the collegiate national team she was listed as an opp so she probably is transitioning to that if she's wanting to play overseas or even have a chance in the USA gym since her passing isn't superb.

Based on what I have seen from last season if they can sure up the middle and have the pins on point they should not do so bad this coming year.
