our oppo situation is so tragic omg if only certain schools would stop putting their opposites at OH... And when they do let them play opp, they make them serve receive to play 6 rotations. |

Kipp, for team USA? Not unless she learns to hit OOS, over a blocks, play defense, block better and get out of her own head.

I don't buy the schools playing oppo at oh environment
the main prereq for playing opposite at the next level is physicality and athleticism, and that will translate. I'd actually argue that playing OH in the NCAA is even better because those players are the ones getting the high balls out of system in the American style. The exceptions to that are probably Babcock and Martin (who are way too young), but players like Fields, Skinner, and Colyer who are slotted on the left pin to take out the trash and then are exposed to D balls in backrow should be much more suited than other 'true' opposites from the NCAA that aren't ready for the out of system responsibilities of international play.

Bad take. Need to get used to footwork, timing, and angles on the right. NCAA setters are good enough to send OOS to the right. |

I agree wiht you, but I just don't think that's realistic for the American style of play in the current environment, being an OH and taking the high ball responsibilities will be better in the long run then just hitting in-system on the right like I said earlier, players like Babcock and Martin are too young to really project on but the exposure they're getting right now to true opposite play is atypical |

was gonna put together a personal wide roster but that seems like too much work lol. especially when they’re just gonna send JT and Drews as the opposites and Chiaka/Haleigh/Rettke for the middles to the OG no matter what S: Carlini, Hancock, Evans, Gray, Poulter Opp: JT, Drews, Cuttino, Samedy OH: Larson, Krob, Frantti, Lanier, Skinner, Plummer, Jones-Perry, Brooke, Bajema MB: Chi, Dana, Haleigh, Asjia, Stevenson, Tapp, Gates, Butler L: JWO, Hentz, Fleck, White there you go lol (this isnt my wide roster, but a prediction) No SWP? Hasn’t she been tearing it up in Turkey this season? |

S: Carlini, Hancock, Evans, Gray, Poulter Opp: JT, Drews, Cuttino, Samedy OH: Larson, Krob, Frantti, Lanier, Skinner, Plummer, Jones-Perry, Brooke, Bajema MB: Chi, Dana, Haleigh, Asjia, Stevenson, Tapp, Gates, Butler L: JWO, Hentz, Fleck, White there you go lol (this isnt my wide roster, but a prediction) No SWP? Hasn’t she been tearing it up in Turkey this season? yes. She should definitely be in consideration. |

High balls are going left because they are putting the high ball hitters there. plenty of high balls go left in the pros too, but the opposite’s job is usually to be there to swing at anything and everything. So more of them go right. |
