After watching B1G media days earlier this week, I know I am late, the usual suspects are at the top but for me one team really stood out.
Ohio State, I am very interested to see what they do Londot and Rader wil lead the charge and this is a great place to start. I also love Jen Flynn-Oldenberg if I had a daughter and she was being recruited I would say go to Ohio State. She is so transparent with her players and they seem to have such a great relationship on and off the court with them. My only critique is I wish J-FO, as they call her, would stop scheduling so tough. I think it hampered the teams confidence and potential seeding last year and could do the same this one.
With such a fantastic recruiting class though I also have eyes on Purdue the rotating door on the outside after Hudson was such a Achilles for them last season. Now with Chicone we will see if she can add consistency but she is undersized also it’s unfortunate their setting situation has happened this way.
Looking forward to seeing what either team can do.

I see Ohio State taking a big time nose dive.

Those two will be battle for 5th, higher would be a big stretch. Look out for Indiana and Illinois in that pursuit.

I feel the gap between Purdue and Ohio State is quite a big bigger then the gap between Ohio State and Illinois/Indiana

I feel the gap between Purdue and Ohio State is quite a big bigger then the gap between Ohio State and Illinois/Indiana I wouldn’t put Purdue too far ahead of Ohio State at this point. Purdue will have a great outside duo, a good Libero and good blocking, but there are still a lot of questions at setter and right side. Ohio State is losing a lot, but I think who they return (Londot/Rader) and bring in (Tuman) will keep them at least competitive. I see OSU in a similar boat to Purdue last season and Wisconsin in 2017: good programs in a rebuild year. Will OSU take some lumps? Yes, but they’ll be capable of delivering a few as well.

All have good points. I did not realize Nebraska was facing such a financial concern.

Are we sure Tuman is starting? They have the WVU transfer setter too.

Those two will be battle for 5th, higher would be a big stretch. Look out for Indiana and Illinois in that pursuit. Purdue looks like the youngest team in the conference. Youth in the B1G is risky. Nebraska may challenge Purdue for the youngest team. Nebraska has no seniors at all on their team. Nebraska has no red shirts & only 14 players of which 5 are juniors, 4 are sophomores, & 5 frosh

I think Purdue has 8 freshmen, 4 sophomores, 3 juniors, 2 seniors. Purdue has 7 players who are either red shirts or grad students.

I’m not saying the gap is huge by any means, I just think Ohio State and specifically Illinois are essentially more equivalent.

The reason I said tOSU is so intriguing is I have always thought they will go as far as Londot can carry them. She is one of the premier OPP in the country and we have seen plenty a team ride an arm like that to great success. Shoot Purdue with Drews and UCLA with Lowe have done that with success it’s not necessarily going to get you the national championship but hey a pretty solid NCAA tourney run or solid season. Definitely upset worthy to teams even better or who have more options.
Londot I believe has the ability to turn into a terminal outlet option everytime, it’s just the consistency that holds her back and I think sometimes she gets in her own way. So with a role of leader you know that’s why I am excited to watch and while tOSU is not my team by any means I think it offers a compelling story for the upcoming season. I wouldn’t underestimate them.
