Bush is from BC, can still be northwest though I guess Also, dad played fb at WSU and she has relatives in Seattle area. Vancouver Island is a stones throw from Washington State and Cambell River BC is closer to Seattle than Spokane is. Born in Seattle ... mother is Nadgelin Cliffe and father is Michael Bush |

Interesting yes she’s from the southwest of Canada, not northwest of USA, that’s why I said I guess Yeah, but in my experience even BC residents consider themselves to be in the "northwest" (of the continent). Is your experience different? |

Interesting yes she’s from the southwest of Canada, not northwest of USA, that’s why I said I guess "southwest of Canada" ? Is this even a thing or a used reference? As far as the geography of NW Canada goes, you must keep in mind that this area is comprised of Territories, areas not considered home to many, therefor the term southwest Canada is not spoken by many if any. Which makes me question if you grew up in the Northwest? I have many family members in BC who are Canadian citizens and I grew up traversing the Canadian border north of Curlew, so as a child, BC was part of the NW experience. During college me and my friends were much more inclined to spend a weekend in Vancouver BC then in, say a Portland. From drinking Kokanee beer to skiing at Whistler, so much of BC is part of the Northwest experience. I could go on for pages on how BC was part of growing up in the Northwest but I won't. |

Enough with the silly geography talk and back to the Huskies. What do people think of Kate Morin so far? She's only played 10 sets and is a true freshman. So we are not talking about a great sample size. The area that interests me the most is serve receive. UW is still a work in progress in this area. I don't really have full confidence in anyone yet but with what certainly appears to be a potent offense, with an AA caliber setter and likely AA hitters, a consistent first touch is critical to our winning prospects.
That said, I like what I've seen so far from Morin in serve receive. Crenshaw's injury has opened the door and it's audition time for Morin, Houghton, Wilson, Mikkelsen, Wilmes, and Griffin. Morin currently has the best reception percentage of anyone on the team who has a decent number of serve receive attempts. By comparison, Houghton's numbers are not good.
And while it is still quite early, and Morin is very green, I like what I've seen in two other areas: serving and digging. My early opinion is that she is one of the better servers on the team (she has the third highest aces per set ratio of any player who has played at least 10 sets). And I think she is a true libero with greater quickness and mobility than Crenshaw or probably any of the other DS possibilities.
Crenshaw and Wilmes give UW the possibility of a back row attack. But, aside from Hoffman, that attack has not really materialized. So I don't see this as much of a factor, certainly not nearly as important as SR and back row defense.
We know that Bays and Hoffman will be stalwarts in serve receive. The question is who will replace Crenshaw while injured and perhaps permanently?

So far, Kate Morin has been a very pleasant surprise. Probably playing earlier and more than expected, especially when you think how little time she has been with the team. Being on the Europe trip this summer may have helped. Playing club ball for Keegan's sister probably gave her excellent coaching for several years before UW. |

I've really enjoyed Morin as well. I think she reads the game well for her young age and has pretty solid and consistent first contacts. Definitely the number one contender to replace Crenshaw in the DS role. I do also like Mikkelsen's defense though!

Also, Wilmes was very impressive in the third set at Montana St. Glad to see her in 6-ro action finally since posted recently on YT. |

Just came across these stats reported today by someone in the recent thread "Who is Passing":
Out of power 5 + top 25 ranked non-P5s, the best passing outsides are:
Kubik (Nebraska): 2.40 (239 receptions)
Shemanova (Syracuse): 2.38 (308 receptions)
Nuneviller (Oregon): 2.35 (196 receptions)
Robinson (Utah): 2.35 (136 receptions)
Hoffman (Washington): 2.29 (310 receptions)
Also, note that Hoffman has been served more times than anyone else in the top 5 and she's had more receptions than any of the top 5 passing liberos.
