plus aren't both recruits going to be on campus starting in jan? IMHO this will help get them ready for the fall so much more than if they were just there over the summer, they will be to weight train and workout with the team/coaches. Correct, but if Starck is going to be the setter, who is backing her up? Van Eekeren is done, so not her.

Do we know if trammell is leaving for sure ? Needing a minimum of 2 MB and a setter from the portal is a tall task

I think if PSU could pick up a good blocking/in system right side (like Lauenstein) and a MB from the portal, they are in a really good spot in 2024.

I really expected PSU to pick up a portal MB during the spring, but it didn't happen. Now they have to scramble for an MB, a backup setter and probably another RS, as well. It's going to be an interesting off-season.

Hmm good for her but wonder why ? Wonder where she will end up Can't answer the second question, but the answer to the first question is that next year she would likely find herself on the bench, behind Grimes and Falduto. She's good enough to be the starting L/DS at a lot of schools. I hope she finds the right fit.

I feel penn state has never had an issue recruiting decent to elite liberos. They stack them more than any team I’ve ever seen. Setter has never been the issue either. Psu as of recent had had issues recruiting those super elite pin hitters in my opinion. Weiskercher wasn’t a bad setter and I thought blossom was very talented. We saw what she did at San Diego last year. Podraza an all American. Penn state needs to be able to lure some of these elite pins. They use to be able to. Don’t know what happened. You have hodge/easy now there coaching who was one of the best. Outside of hooker I can see her maybe just below. Hopefully she can help get some elite there in near future

Blossom was pretty good during her Penn State years, but excellent during her San Diego season. Not sure how she got so much better so quickly after leaving Penn State. Podraza isn't bad, but she never really had a consistently good connection to anyone other than Mruzik, and she wasn't very good defensively.
