Wow, Penn State's becoming rather corn-flavored! Good get! I am a Husker fan in Lincoln and will be following Penn State this next season! Can’t cheer for you when you play us but any other match I will.

Starters next season should be: Mruzik Hannah (DS: Falduto) Mendelson Trammell Jurvicius (DS: Anj Starck) Izzy Starck Grimes I could Falduto beating out Grimes but for now I think Grimes will still be the libero. Not sure if Jurvicius can play back row. Possibly Markley instead of Hannah but Hannah ended the season really strong. I am hoping to see Starck play right back and learn to hit the D ball

I hope it’s MM bc she has 2 years left I was hoping for Blackwell also. Where do you all think MM compares to Holland and Trammell? I’ve only seen little of MM but I think she’s the most terminal of the three (except when Taylor goes SLAYlor mode). But she’s not as fast side to side or as good as reading the attack as Allie and Taylor are. Allie is still probably the best out of the three on the slide.

Happened last year even with Holland who had a decent slide. Although Mac’s sets to the right side were her weakest. They could leave CJ in back row if she can hit the D ball but that leaves a very good DS on the sidelines.

Well, definitely was a big need this off-season. This helps.
Would think there's still more to go, though.

The B side drifts to State College. . , that’s special… Labeling these B players leads you in the wrong direction. I think CJ was the #6 player in her class. She would have started and done very well, I think, except Merritt had two years of very high experience. Coach Cook thought enough of her ability to try to keep her powder dry unless disaster struck. MM could have started lots of places, and did some at Nebraska. She was edged out only by one of the best defensive middles and one of the best offensive middles in the nation. MM wasn't quite the D1 player she wanted to be. Partly because she came to college after her junior year in high school (she was the youngest player on the Husker team) and she played two sports at Nebraska. Don't know how these two will do at PSU, but I know they are fierce competitors, great team players and they have shown they have great character. These are two Penn State Quality players IMO. Edit: Someone reminded me that Nebraska had to use MM on the right some. That probably didn't help.
