If I had to guess, Bacon is probably the most likely to lose her spot. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who thought bacon was good but not good enough to warrant this discussion like she can’t lose her spot lmao I brought it up in the Oregon thread but they seem to think neither of McGhee or Onye can hit behind the setter, meaning one needs to sit |

Don’t really need to run the slide if you have an offensive lefty setter and someone hitting the D ball but I figure without Nuneviller a DS for the RS might be necessary? |

Pukis is WAY less offensive than she was at wsu. Which is weird because she had better passing and Oregon is the last place you’d think that would tell a setter to not be as aggressive

Lewis/Mutiri were DS’d and I doubt they stray from that tbh. the DS they had by the end of the year playing was a solid passer and they’ll need her without Nuneviller |

Raskie's 6-0 offense isn't for everyone. I wanna look up how many KPS she averaged 😭😭 Not that many. She hadn't set from the front row since her 16s year in club before her senior year. It took her about half a season to get comfortable dumping, and then a bit more to develop some range and learn to identify good opportunities. Here's another tear for not just putting her in a 5-1 back her freshman year, when we tried LITERALLY. EVERY. OTHER. OPTION. and then being stuck in that awful 6-2 for three years. In any case, a lot of this Oregon speculation is odd. IMO the lineup questions are whether Acevedo beats out Gonzales, if Thibault can play her way into either a first or second DS spot, and whether Bacon or Neal improves the connection with Pukis on the slide the most to lock down M1 (if we look at just late-season trajectory, it's probably Bacon). Speculating as to whether a middle replaces Lewis is certainly . . . . a #choice. IMO, the lack of offense behind the setter in 2 hitter rotations was Oregon's biggest weakness this year. Oregon's passing is going to take a hit, but it's not clear by how much and Pukis is also VERY functional OOS (as we saw at WSU). Oregon the past few years kinda had to pass pristinely because stuff got messy fast before Pukis arrived. |

Idk if my YouTube skills are lacking or what but could someone quote this w a link to AA’s highlights (yes I’m coining that for Acevedo bc I brain freeze everytime I try typing out her name)

Ofoegbu is the only reason I have even remote interest in speculating. ☺️ |

She would run it a few times a match though and I’ve seen her get kills running a slide, but she’s much stronger in front of the setter. |

An absolute crime. |
