I bet some of these programs with who are supposedly set for Setters are going to take Setters for 2025 because they will have them come in a compete. If you can get a 6' left handed setter it is really hard to pass that up. At MEQ the talk seemed to be that Glass was heading to Stanford.

I think a lot of those programs will offer to a 2025 setter. But then it’s knowing that you are going in with a high chance of being the backup setter versus a better chance as a starter. There are no guarantees for anything anywhere, but if you are competing for a spot with a top 2024 that was already at the program for a full year training, it’s a big chance to take.

I'm sure covid and the portal have thrown off some timelines, but don't schools normally aim for a setter every other year? Orr and Grome were 2021, Reilly and Sarafa are 2023s. Stucky was a 2022, Taylor Parks is a 2024, etc.

Yes I would say that is what you would expect from most schools - every other year.
Westie is correct. Of course schools that are set with a 2024 setter would still consider an top 2025 setter but those same setters will also have plenty of opportunities at programs where there isn't 2024 competition.

It's always interesting to me to see all these names but then to see them in person and think eh. Saw a couple of these 24s in vegas and the hype didnt matchup with the play.

I usually take it as someone's mom pumping them up in here. Don't get me wrong I think most are talented but "the best out there" is a big statement to make.

I watched Glass play a couple matches and she pretty much checked all the boxes. - very athletic - great leadership - blocks and hits out of the front row - really quick hands - high level of accuracy - 6' Lefty

If you can get a 6' left handed setter it is really hard to pass that up. At MEQ the talk seemed to be that Glass was heading to Stanford. I could see her coming in and competing right away. I'm not convinced Taylor Yu is the future franchise setter for Stanford. She's good, but I'm not sure she's Stanford level can't be unseated level good.

The 2025 class are currently high school sophomores - they aren't going to be studs every time you see them. True lefty, quick, athletic, setters with decent hands are not common.

One of the best for sure. If I had a 2025 setter, I would not be looking at Stanford, IMHO. Oh I definitely think she's one of the best setters in the 2024 class, no about about that. But we are talking about Stanford. The barometer is not/should not be whether your among the best setters in any given class, but whether you are/will be elite enough to be among the top 3 setters in the surrounding 3-4 classes. On that second question, I'm not convinced.

Oh I think that any school would happily have two elite setters on the roster at any given time. My question wasn't whether or not the schools would offer Glass (or Messer, or Flynn) in 2025, but rather whether these players would want to go to a school knowing they will have to either unseat a multi-year starter or not play for at least two years.
