The thing about all three of those pins is that they rarely played a role where they got an in system ball. Ellis would sometimes get used that way. If Koch or Chinn got a set it was because it was a scramble. Otherwise in system, Purdue set the usual suspects and routes. ^This. Thanks for explaining this so well! I looked at the stats from the Louisville 2nd round match and Chinn only had 8 swings in 2 sets. I don’t remember the match that well, but I’m curious how many of those were out of system/bail out sets rather than full attacks. When I watched Purdue last year, she didn’t get the best sets. They weren’t a fantastic serve receive team, at least in the matches I watched, and their setter situation was in tandem for a lot of the year, so I feel like after several years of being in and out of the lineup, and then this year where things were constantly moving, we maybe haven’t seen her best. |

She seems very athletic, and it also appears she was beloved by her team and coaches, so let's assume a great attitude and work ethic. She also stayed at Purdue when she probably could have entered the portal earlier. My guess is she will thrive in a starting role (if she earns it, of course), and I can see her being a very effective offensive and blocking opposite for Northwestern. Line up is likely: OH1: Sangiacomo 6'5, potentially Hernandez or a DS back row OH2: Randorf 6'1 (6-ro) Opp: Chinn 6'3 DS for backrow M1: Dodson 6'1 (serve) M2: Hill 6'1 S: Rousseau 6'3 LIB: Stinson 5'2 (she's the incumbent, but Navarette is impressive, as is Wright — but of a toss up) If Chinn struggles, Randorf could move to opposite and Hernandez could fill the OH2. |

Purdue was one of the top serve receive teams and the setting allowed a freshman Leftside to blow up the league. She isn’t going to get much better statistically imo. |

possibly Husemann from MN Both following each other, so would be the most likely given the portal is pretty dry. She would be a great pickup. Under used at Minny but a strong blocker who could add some size and defense. |

She seldom put a ball away at Minnesota and they recruited over her regularly. In NW that far from the pack? |

She’s a very strong blocker and has a great amount of experience. Regarding her hitting numbers, Shaffmaster rarely sets middle, so it’s not that surprising. |

Northwestern also has only two MBs on their roster currently, and she's probably the best available in the portal. |

They desperately need depth, and adding a skilled blocker from MN is not a bad thing at all. |

How is Huseman a “great” pickup for Northwestern. She seldom put a ball away at Minnesota and they recruited over her regularly. In NW that far from the pack? IMHO by the eye test? no. But by the numbers/program perception? yes. Just for perspective Minny went 22-9 (15-5 in conference) with an arguably tougher schedule vs NW 18-14 (7-13 in conference). Yes I am aware NW was struggling with injury issues |

Northwestern’s gotten some good transfers this off-season! Really hoping they can build on last year and make the tournament finally.
