Didn't this thread in past years have run downs of the roster changes and assessments at the beginning? I only start paying attention to other teams about now. Who did that in the past?

I'll do a random order again. Throwing all the teams in a list randomizer and shuffling in 45 times for the number of balls China served at Plummer in the VNL

Rutgers has always been so weak, I wonder what it will take for them to get some good recruits

Oh, that's fun. RNG has decided that first tomorrow is: I wish the order was the projected order from bottomto top. But it doesn’t matter, really. Your Big 10 previews are one of the biggest highlights of the entire year for me. That’s going to be true regardless of the order.

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. Londot is not Drews or Lowe.

Oh, that's fun. RNG has decided that first tomorrow is: Lol. I wanted to know about the other teams! But I must defer to the random number gods. Thanks for doing this!

I wouldn’t underestimate them. Londot is not Drews or Lowe. Drews and Lowe elevated their games after college but were formidable in college. In Drews Senior Season she hit for .253, Londot last season led her team in kills playing a much tougher schedule and hit for .241 so she’s not so far off I believe she can be better and elevate her game will she remains to be seen.

I wouldn’t underestimate them. I agree Londot is going to be the core of their team this year but it also looks like she’s moving over to OH this season instead of Opp. There are bigger position switches but I think we’ll have to see how she transitions to the left pin and takes a larger passing load. Is she capable of still dominating from the left pin offensively? Absolutely. But my bigger concern is passing… from my memory we haven’t seen her as a primary passer yet and she wont have a stronger ball control OH next to her or Murr to help her out. And the drop off from Murr to Morbitzer at libero is pretty significant IMO. Morbitzer is a good DS but not necessarily a libero… I wasn’t that impressed with her when she filled in for Murr at libero last season. I’m rooting for JFO and crew but the next few years are going to be a big test of how well they can develop talent.

I highly doubt that- she is too good at the opp to make such move.

IMO, its their best option.
