I thought Meegan and Alexia were pretty good when they actually could get set lol. Blocking wasn’t just horrendous. I can definitely see a world where both Tabron and Campbell don’t start this season. Well they were low volume for a reason (a big one was the lack of slide), hart could be crafty though. and I always feel like CU’s blocking doesn’t quite match up to their BPS - when they’re not touching, they’re REALLY not impacting. Yeah, I wouldn’t pretend to know who they’re gonna start on the pins., I think Schneg is sort of their optimal combo, and they brought hadrych in for a reason. Schnegg is definitely safe. I have to think Hadrych starts with the way Tabron put on some excessive error fests all season (sadly). She’s clearly a talented player, maybe she’d be better on the right with more in system swings. And yes Alexia definitely looks lost sometimes. Meegan is clearly the better of the two. I’ll be interested to see where they end up putting Parker. And DeLuzio for that matter. |

Lauren Bays, WashingtonGeorgia Murphy, Oregon Kamaile Hiapo, Arizona Mackenzie Cole, UCLA Oh and I think Oregon wins the conference. Small points. Anyone that wasn't all-conference last year should NOT be listed as "locks" for this year. Hoffman and Powell are more likely to be Pac-12 POY than Grote. When was the last time a middle was POY? Akinradewo? Even if Grote doubled her offensive stats from last year, she still wouldn't win the conference POY. Baird plays for Stanford. |

And from a pure Stanford perspective Kipp is a lot more likely to be POY than Baird IMO.

So, I'm hoping that part of your analysis is correct. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable prediction. With Dreschel gone, Bays’ total dig stats are likely to increase. Factor in passing (which the coaches have access to), which by the end of the season was among the best in the conference, and one could easily see Bays as the leading libero candidate. I don’t think Arizona will have the record to support Hiapo and Nuneviller is like a second libero out there which hurts Murphy. Cole is a wild card. |

When was the last time a middle was POY? Akinradewo? Even if Grote doubled her offensive stats from last year, she still wouldn't win the conference POY. Baird plays for Stanford. tbh this are just my opinions heading into the season. Skylar wasn’t in the conference but I think not putting her as a lock would be disrespectful. Charitie Luper missed a lot of games and they lose Mac May. Lauren Bays I almost didn’t put as a lock but I didn’t want to put none for liberos and I believe she could be the best this year so she was the one I put up there. Grote I did not have winning, I just had her in the running, which I think could be fair. Why not top 5? And the Baird thing was accidental copy and pasting error haha oops. Not even sure how that happened. I could see Hoffman being more likely but honestly not Powell just because the other two pins will probably be Madi Ensley and Emoni Bush who VERY much struggled last season. Assist numbers could be down a little bit. And honestly I just wanted some more position representation in the running haha |

Also about double the blocks although not unexpected given that she is an OPP. I also watch every match and just believe that Kipp is a lot more dominant. |

I also watch every match and just believe that Kipp is a lot more dominant. no doubt Kipp is the better front row player, I just think (know) passing will automatically help Baird and her digs per set were double Kipp’s. Baird has the higher kills per set as well, because she’s a bigger part of their offense. I’d love for Kipp to get equal sets this season but a 300 swing different is quite a bit. Both are incredibly fun to watch though |

Re POY, I think it’s more going to be about team finish and importance to the team than it is a single stat. I’m not saying Powell will be POY, I just think she has a better chance than Grote. |

I’m not saying Powell will be POY, I just think she has a better chance than Grote. yeah, I could definitely see that. I think Nuneviller could pretty easily grab it, since I think they’ll win the conference (at least be top 3-4), they’ll be running a 5-1 with a way better setter, and her passing and defense is always on point. Honestly now that I’m saying this Hoffman probably has the best chance on Washington and I probably should’ve put her in there over Grote, but eh. Let me keep a middle in there haha |
