LYDIA GROTE FOR ORLANDO PVF!!! Round 3, 1st pick! Grote + Pittman would be so fun! Nvm, i think Pittman is with San Diego this season I hope she does PVF, it seems like a good spot based on her level and her bubbly on court personality would be perfect for the league. I could see Shaff go overseas at first to dip her toes in the water, but depending on the long term status of her knee I could see her playing it safer and sticking around the US too |

Sounded like she was really geeking out about seeing the foreign club experience more up close. I can totally see her wanting that experience even if she's a backup setter. Gosh I would love to see what she could do with better ball control around her. |

Besides Garr is there another back court player we don't know about? I assume the poster also meant to include players like Gilk and Kinney who both can pass. Exactly from what I have seen and heard Kinney is an excellent passer. Just having that option in the backrow is a benefit. Heard good things about Gilk too however not sure she has enough firepower in the front row to start as a freshman. |

Why was mel not drafted?? The coaches for PVF could call around and ask what seniors are interested. Mel might not be interested in staying in a USA league so no one wasted a draft pick on her. Or no one wanted her. I’ll just say it so the resident hater doesn’t have to. |

It appears voters took note of the 5 setter vs WI 2 TCU losses
Do the close losses to Stanford, Baylor, TCU, Washington & WI ameliorate the H2H factoid?
That seems to be the case with Pablo who seems to love MN
Tiredness, Hanson's illness, etc. probably don't factor much in the USC loss or the pitiful WA performance.

We rose one spot in AVCA because #15 Georgia tech lost twice. Don’t think playing 5 sets in Madison had anything to do with it. |

I'm still surprised how much RPI hates Minnesota. No bad losses (but games that could've/should've been won). Is "who you play" that much more important in the formula? I realize it's your W/Ls vs. your opponent's W/L, and I think your opponent's opponent's W/L? But idk what the equation actually is. If who your opponent is (just for them even existing -- Chicago State just won their tournament and have a good record albeit with cupcakes minus Minny), I can see how Minny loses at least a few spots in the RPI. |

If MN would have beat TCU and or Baylor it would have looked different. Also, Auburn tanking hasn't helped for the RPI game, can even blame Texas a little bit too lol NCAA tourney is all about matchups - if we play how we did against Nebraska and Wisconsin I don't think any top team will be exicted to see us in their gym. |

The gophers have lost 10 games. If you want to host win the close ones. They do not deserve to host.

Volleyball seems to be booming, so maybe I'm wrong about this. But if you want to grow the game and to spread appreciation for it, I think you'd want to incentivize the elite teams to play a couple of the lower-ranked teams each year, rather than punishing them for doing that. Sometimes, though probably not all that often, RPI seems to stand for "Really Poor Indicator."
