For easy access, I've added a link to the spring schedule announcement in the first post of this thread and made a table with the schedule details at the top of the second post.

Agreed! Really like her quick arm swing on the attack- looks super comfortable hitting a slide.

She and Smith both look like great additions. Now we need to load up on outside hitters.

pointillinois shared this video a few days ago which had been posted to the Illinois Instagram and now that it's available on YouTube I wanted to share that link. I don't have IG so I wasn't able to get as good a look as the YouTube one. A couple observations, which the obvious caveat that practice reps aren't necessarily indicative of future game plans: - Burbage getting swings at the left pin - de Boer hitting out of the back row Only two weeks to that first scrimmage- can't wait!

There were times last year when Burbage played one rotation on the left side. When she started at the left front in service receive she stayed there. It seemed that there were other times when she stayed on the left side even during our serve. She seemed to be effective on the left side, although she needs to add strength. It did not appear that she was hitting a "heavy" ball.
I have high hopes for DeBoer. Anyone have any thoughts on whether Stephenson is likely to help?

Based on the limited videos I've seen, I think both DeBoer and Stephenson have high ceilings. I recall watching a video of Stephenson from a high school or club match and she had a fast arm with a variety of shots (including a number of back row attacks).
