maybe but posters “in the know” thought she’d be the difference maker this year

Who?

Maybe I over stated it by saying "the difference maker," but you certainly thought she was going to be a difference maker for USC:


For example:  "Washington's edge in the spring was their setter not their hitters. With Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah all getting upgrades at setter, I don't expect that to be as much of an advantage this fall."

You quoted me proving your initial statement wrong? Good. I don't think anyone thought the Tuangia transfer was about this fall...

What?  You said you thought USC's upgrade at setter would eliminate Washington's advantage "this fall."  What upgrade were you talking about?

"Would not be surprised to see Tuaniga starting in the fall."
"With Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah all getting upgrades at setter, I don't expect that to be as much of an advantage this fall."

Please.

I said eliminate? I still think Ella is the best setter in the Pac. Mia and Lazaro give Keller more options at setter than he had in the spring. I think Tuaniga and Glock will do that in future years when SC is better on the pins.

She has already started. Two of those three schools improved their setting. Utah will too I think.

You wrote that you expected Tuaniga to make a difference for USC this fall and considered her an upgrade.  Admit it or not.  I no longer care.

You clearly care about my posts. Enough to put words like "eliminate" in them.

Tuaniga and Lazaro are better than Nelson and Lazaro. Tuaniga and Glock will be good in the future. So will SC.

Come on az, you should know that if somebody says a team is upgrading at setter, that means they are getting a good backup to set side 2 at practice.

Where did I say that Tuaniga would start every match? I said "I wouldn't be surprised if she started" and she has. She has also upgraded the position.

Lazaro is starting and if she struggles (like she did against Creighton, UCLA) Tuaniga plays and gives them something different. In the spring, Keller didn't have that option when Lazaro struggled. Competition upgrades the roster. These gotcha takes are weak.
