the obsession over Landfair is bizarre. Minnesota gets a huge win and the response is to bring up a player not with the program anymore?? go celebrate Shaffmaster (who you all loooooooove to talk %*$# on), Wucherer, Zeynep, or Hanson. this place is toxic enough. Free the knee is real!

The board was hating on Landfair so much last season while she was a gopher. Some of the match threads were brutal. Where was this “leave Landfair alone” energy then? Lying dormant in the basement of Devaney I guess… Shaffmaster has been a constant target for %*$#-talking on the board too. Even beyond fair criticism. Like some straight up gleefully nasty comments about her. Idk. 4 years defending Landfair and Shaffmaster on this board. I’m tired. 😪 Woe is me and Go Gophers😂😂 Well, Melanie definitely rewarded your efforts My main issue with Mel was that her knee was hampering all of her play (not that she could change that, obv)

I know this is the just the 1st weekend but Ammeraal is 4th in the Big 10 in hitting %. And she has more kills per set (3.3) than anyone ahead of her on that list. Per Big 10 stat site. Radar is also very impressive. .513 and 3.1 kps a setter doing this isn’t sustainable Is she setting a 6-2 or just that offensive as. 5-1 setter??!!

And yes, that is borderline criminal: having impressive, balanced setting distribution ( and production...so she's clearly putting them in positions to score...feel free to check the box scores, if not too much trouble) from literally every one of her hitters throughout both matches, while still doing all she can in many different ways (digs, blocks...and God forbid, scoring points) on the court to ensure and aid in her team's success...it's disgusting. Lock her up and yank her scholarship!

Lock her up and yank her scholarship! She has more attempts than her middle, and they have 6 more attempts combined. I’m assuming Hannah is playing opposite? She has more attempts than her too, and nearly as much attempts as their outsides All the pins have less than 3 kps and middles less than 2 It’s balanced but it’s not gonna survive the B1G She needs it get her hitters going and give them more confidence. A setters job is to set. Sure be an attacking option here and there but over 3kps in a 5–1 is insane I mean good for her right now, but like blue10 said, it’s not sustainable

And they won both matches...that's not something that has happened much at Iowa recently. How about even the slightest recognition that she may have made a huge difference this weekend towards success for her team (again, not something we have enjoyed much as Hawk fans) and that (wait for it) perhaps she is a talented and intriguing volleyball player and it will be interesting to see how things progress this season? Sheesh. And thanks for defining for all of us what a setter's "job" is.

Sheesh. Her state line is insane. I dont deny that. She is doing well per the box score at least. Im just saying, as a setter she needs to give her hitters the oppurtunity. Having as much attempts as both your outsides is something ive NEVER seen done from a setter. She just needs to slow down IMO

Thanks for at least allowing a positive few words about this multi-talented player giving her all towards her team's success to be uttered.

We can all have "opinions" about what a players job is. IMO, every players job is to do what is asked of them, at the highest level possible, so that their contribution can help the team get a win. How that manifests itself is their business. If that means Ammeraal being a heavy attacker, so be it.

Here’s the stat that shuts all this up. She’s hitting .462
Her job is to win.
If she is anything north of .240 let her swing all she wants!
