I think this will be a top 25 team for sure. They need to start out strong though. This is the year where they know who they are. There shouldn't be a lot of early season juggling or trying to find out who the lineup is. They need to gel in practice and come out winning. And I think this is the case even if though don't pick up a right side this spring. Agreed. With the experience coming back and only needing to fill one pin hitter role along with ADDING depth to the middle and Libero spots, I like our chances of breaking into the Top 25, especially if the schedule is challenging again. I think the only added question mark for me is if Matias can push Lang enough to see her really step her game up

If they get a Jolie type pin and another middle steps it up then I think they’re Top 10. 2023 will be a good year regardless

Go all the way and be #1 with an NCAA title. Think big.

Photos from spring practice http://instagram.com/p/ConYoH8ylbs I think we won’t see Riley or Chandler for the matches against Minny since I don’t think they are doing spring training with the indoor team?

It suck’s that no one can’t broadcast these matches. UH should utilize their resources. I’m sure they have a college video media team that could use the practice.

That’s why I miss Periscope - people were live streaming everything back then. Someone could livestream in Twitter and post the link here.

This will be a chance for players like Annika, Caylen and Kendra to get plenty of reps. This could do these 3 good as they will get the bulk of the PT since Tali and Stella are not here yet and Chandler and Riley are with the beach team. I really don't see Chandler improving her stock with the indoor team by playing beach. She will again be a practice player mostly. If both Caylen and Kendra can step up their games and take that next step forward, I wouldn't be surprised if they get starting spots or get plenty of PT in the fall. Riley might have made All BW but she, to me, is not that dominant of a player that she cannot be unseated. With Mindi Morioka on board, I'm assuming that Kendra will now be a full time pin hitter and will be battling for one OH spot(either as a second left side hitter or a passing OPP). Her passing and defense was decent this past year but didn't get many practice as a hitter so this spring will be her chance to hit more.

Top 10 NO? We were barely a top 40 team on the road or neutral court so let's not...

No one is going to unseat Riley for one of the 2 OH positions. Robyn started her as a freshman. Her passing and defense is too valuable and her hitting came around last season.

I hope Riley becomes the terminator this coming season.
