Hi Arizona fans! I was wondering if anyone was able to give any insight on Emery Herman now that she's transferring to CSU? From reading a few of the Arizona threads, I've gathered that she's athletic, strong at the net and a good server, but her setting is inconsistent at times. Anything else? Was the inconsistent setting more of a factor due to Arizona's passing or no?
Thanks!

Thanks! really athletic. great blocker and great at right back defense. like really, really good. super solid server but can be error prone at times. but yes the setting is the weak point. her location and decision can be errant, but she was also dealing with something erratic passing and streaky hitters. if someone can teach her how to look at a block and then set, she’ll be fantastic, especially if she dials in the location a little more.

Changed the thread name to Arizona Wildcat Volleyball instead of creating a new thread for every year. Not enough action to justify making a new one lol. I’ll update the roster after the portal window closes.
For now, just manifesting either Jordan Wilson or Parra here I guess lol

I think Becca Morse from Oregon is joining the team. She has it listed in her instagram bio. If true that would be a huge get for this program!
I think I read in the Oregon thread that she suffered a ball to the head in practice and was out for the rest of the season? I could be wrong.

She definitely will help soften the blow of losing Hiapo. Another solid ball handler would be great. Az also needs another middle to go alongside Alayna.

She can be a highlight reel. I hope she earns the libero spot, as she is fantastic at left back and puts up a great ball for hitters when the setter takes the first ball. It was tough being behind Murphy at Oregon, but she pushed Murphy to get even better.

The only real competition for the libero jersey that's currently on the roster is Joy Galles based on what Rubio told me at the end of the year long after Madison Ellman left the team. (Ellman was considered the second option after Hiapo early in the year.) I don't know if the incoming freshmen will be a challenge to her, but associate head coach Rita Stubbs implied that they were bringing in Ania Swartzendruber to be the libero after Hiapo left, but that was not expected until next year. So, I fully expect Becca to be a front-runner for the jersey.
On a side note, I am going to have problems this year if she is. The head soccer coach at Arizona is Becca Moros. I cover both teams at the same time. Far too close to Becca Morse. 🤣

Yeah, it would be interesting. Might depend on how Dave and Rita want to handle the scholarship situation. Prior to Hiapo, a libero only got 2 years covered (Dave called it "short money," anyway, and I always assumed that meant 2 years). Hiapo got all four. Do they want to give Morse 3, since they already planned to give Hiapo a 5th,or is she walking on this year?

She’s from Arizona, so she’d have in-state tuition, but she’s also the favorite for the libero jersey.

The highlights you linked in your article left something to be desired. It felt like she didn’t take any shots, a lot of the film were tips and floaters.

I was referring to ball control. In her highlights I didn’t see anyone hitting bullets at her. My bad lol
