UCLA loses an undersized pin and replaces her with another undersized pin.

Am I seeing Umeh didn’t play backrow even at 5’8?

Am I seeing Umeh didn’t play backrow even at 5’8? Correct, she was an opposite in a 6-2. She has hops and puts heat on the ball but she hasn’t passed

Not only did Joy not pass during her time at Irvine, she does not even serve.
That is kind of unusual for a 5-8 player to not have 5-8 skill sets.
I honestly don’t see her being able to get hits past PAC 12 level blockers on a consistent basis. Even though she has hop, she will struggle with blocking also. A player like Kendall Kipp will have a field day hitting over her.

With McCarthy out for most, if not all of the season, UCLA really needs some backrow help. Need to look at the portal, if possible. Even the OH/OPPs UCLA has, have not really played backrow that much, except for Leverette partly last year. Can't see Olson, Umeh, or Ndiaye playing backrow, and not sure about Hendrickson, as she only played two matches last year for Florida. Do we have to move Tufono to DS position? She was good in defense last year when setting. Will be interesting
OH: Olson, Leverette, Umeh Opp: Ndiaye, Hendrickson, Lane MB: Dodson, Becker, Briscoe. Alupei (if recovered) S: Pak, Tufono, Mullen L/DS: Dueck, McCarthy

Oh I thought those were 2024 commits for some reason. Good to know. No surprise, Tufono is good at defense.

I certainly hope this isn't a signal that UCLA is going to replace its setter merry-go-round with a libero merry-go-round.
