Michigan State returning starters: S- Bishop/Muisenga L- Iosia M- Kulig M- OH- Holdem OH- Kelly RS- Doezema RS- Moore Time will tell if any of the transfers Akasha Anderson OH Auburn, Danyle Courtley OH Rice, Taylor Preston OH Oklahoma or any of the freshman push for a starting spot. It's all but a guarantee that one of them will play over Kelly and/or Staniszewska who got most of the OH2 starts last year. Doezema played a bit in the middle in the spring so if she slots in there, another one of the transfers likely plays on the right with Moore. I agree, since all 3 transfers were studs at their previous schools. It will be interesting to see what happens in the middle. Does Mia Hood graduating early get her ready to contribute meaningful minutes? Also, I think Doezema on the rightside helps due to her blocking ability, especially in such a tough conference full of amazing OH's.

Since no one else has done it here I go! Penn State returning starters: S- L- Grimes M- Trammell M- OH- Mruzik OH- Hannah RS- I'd say S & RS are locked in with Izzy & Caroline but the 2nd middle should be a fight with Maggie & Jordan Hoppe.

if I have to watch ONE MORE season of Burbage as the starting OPP, I'm gonna scream There was chatter on the Illinois thread that Burbage will medically retire. Not chatter. All the recent pics of Kayla have her in a shoulder sling. She obviously had some sort of surgery and is questionable at best for the season. Had real high hopes for her as a replacement for Cooney. Showed flashes of brilliance at times but just couldn't pull it together.

I know team lineups have been discussed, but it would be cool to see each Big 10 teams lineup with only the returning starters. Here’s Iowa’s: S- L- M- Anna Davis M- OH- OH- RS- (Part time starter Gabby Deery) DS- Michelle Urquhart Just to demonstrate the complete overhaul of the roster, only a few players on the roster has played any Big 10 volleyball. Other than the 2 starters listed, only Vesty and Deery have any Big 10 playing time. So 4 players out of the 18 on the roster. Fortunately 3 transfers joined in January and got some quality time playing. Ammeraal, Galles at Libero, and Whittingstall at middle. 3 very solid players with college experience. I agree, a complete overhaul with new talent is what’was needed to start the bounce from rock bottom. Hopefully the bottom was more like a trampoline.

She didn't arrive in January, but I am hearing encouraging things about Senior Middle Gibson as well. But to your point, six Freshman, and three redshirt Freshman. It's a young team.

B1G fans need to pay attention to Ohio State and Maryland. Both will surpass their media preseason poll predictions.

Where's Randorf?
Yes, Randorf is returning to Northwestern this season. She wasn't starting, and didn't even play, after October 29 of last year so I was considering Maddy Chinn to be their starting opposite. But yes, Randorf appears to be returning this season.

Are you implying the Big Ten no longer has a media crew that cares enough about the teams to put together a media poll?
