Up close, she seems very skinny. It could be that she doesn't have the wider shoulders of Logan and looks skinny by comparison.

When I saw the players up close in person, I thought of the word "skinny" to describe Melanie and DeAndra. I don't recall thinking that about Singletary; doesn't mean she's not, though. I think a lot of that is based on who they were standing next to.

Who do we think will be the top 4 teams next season? Based on confirmed transfers and incoming class, I’d say: Wisconsin, Texas, Nebraska, Stanford. Honorable mentions: Penn State, Pittsburg, Oregon, Louisville. Is it August yet?!

I know everyone is hot on Stanford next season, but I have thoughts. And they are these: sometimes returning all/most starters isn’t ideal. Especially if the problem for the team was never raw talent to begin with. If one of those freshman isn’t an emotional leader, it’s going to be same story/same cast I’m afraid. My T4 is Wisconsin, Nebraska, Texas, Penn State.

If one of those freshman isn’t an emotional leader, it’s going to be same story/same cast I’m afraid. My T4 is Wisconsin, Nebraska, Texas, Penn State. I don’t know. They seemed pretty stacked from a returning starter perspective to me. Setting looks great with Miner. Kipp will be the preseason player of the year favorite, IMO. Rubin is decent as a terminal hitter but outstanding as a 6 rotation pin, IMO. I loved how she developed over the course of the year. I’d rather have her right now than Wenaas, for example. Baird is hard for me to fall in love with. When she’s on she’s terrific, but she’s not always on. Their middle play suffered without Francis out there. I love their libero. They’re one of the better serving teams in the country. They lost to what I considered the 2nd best team at the end of the year in San Diego. Stanford’s biggest issue to me is they can’t really bring in transfers, which limits their personnel improvement from year to year compared to other elite programs. But I think they’re going to come out of the gate at a higher level than anyone else, and then we’ll see if everyone can catch up. I’m also not completely sold on our Longhorns, yet. Setting is a question mark for me. I don’t think the middle, left pin, libero, or serving will be as good. Having said that, I’m very excited to see this team go after it. I think they have all kinds of room for improvement over the course of the season. With Wisconsin, o know they did great in the B1G with their transition to the 6-2. I have to eat crow, because I didn’t think there was any chance Sheffield would remain committed to it, but he did, and now he’s trotting it out again. But I much prefer the 5-1 for consistencies sake, the ability to have some flexibility with subs in extended sets, and allowing the server to be ultra aggressive at the net in her 3 front row rotations. I hope we never have to go the 6-2 route. Just not a fan. Nebraska is Nebraska. You know Cook wants the taste of that Sweet Sixteen washed from his mouth. Let’s see him try another first timer setter for the second year in a row and see if this works out better. They have a ridiculous amount of young uber talented players on that roster. It’s going to be interesting to me who wins the competition for playing time. That practice gym is going to be intense. Not sure how I feel about Penn State yet, other than KSC has proven to me she knows how to sell her program. To me this coming year looks a lot more interesting competition wise than this last one, where Texas seemed to build a juggernaut in the offseason, and sure enough, that’s how it turned out. I don’t see the same disparity on paper I did last year in the preseason. But we still have the May portal, so we’ll see if there are any drastic changes.
