Klineman, Tom and Walsh would also be a NASTY pin trio I know they were all outsides but it would still be nasty Walsh was an OPP.

So this is an interesting new challenge. If you could compose a team but limited to one per school (and transfers count all their multiple schools). I think then maybe I would go: Logan Tom Kim Willoughby Sarah Pavan Misty May Lauren Cacciamani Chiaka Ogbogu I struggled with Destinee Hooker vs Chiaka Ogbogu, but I have a harder time coming up with middles. Also struggled Megan Hodge vs Lauren Cacciamani. ncaa (limiting myself to 1x / university):
hodge/HONESTLY madi skinner. meriwether/akinradewo carlini/hooker gentil
DS: hentz
pro (limiting myself to 1x / country): tom/sokolova feng kun/sheilla GOATorres/gioli i guess

Can you include someone on an all time list that was kicked off their national team?

Oh, and Paula Gentil So this is an interesting new challenge. If you could compose a team but limited to one per school (and transfers count all their multiple schools).

Not as a blocker. Inky was quick and she willed a bunch of freshman to a title. Rettke was a great blocker in college. I don’t think you can make a list without her. I think she’s a lock Girl college volleyball has existed long before you started watching.

This is such a good list. I’d like to see a faster middle than Torres (I know ..). But the beauty of Feng setting were her incredible quicks and combos. Gioli fits the bill here perfectly. Maybe Akinradewo?

I'll play. Logan Tom Logan Eggleston Destiny Hooker Faluke Akinradewo Dana Rettke Dana Burkholder Paula Gentil And if you want to be picky and tell me Hooker was an OH in college, fine, take off Eggleston and give me Kelly Murphy at Florida. You have two Dana's too many. I ran out of Falukes and Destinys

I’m not sure whether to be happy we had an all-of-volleyball discussion for a couple pages, or sad that after 2 pages we Balkanize the discussion into my school vs your school.

Going back the 25ish years I've been following the sport, my top 2 teams would be:
OH-Logan, Olympic caliber coming out of HS OH-Hodge, just a flat out winner. High level passer as a senior who doesn't get respected enough. RS-Walsh, did EVERYTHING well MB-Rettke, most dominant middle in the libero era, unstoppable on the slide MB-Harmotto, you could make a case for Foluke over her but I loved her attacking in front of the setter S-Misty May, inch for inch is the best player on this team (and maybe ever) L-Elena Scott, possible short term memory here but she is so strong as a defender and passer
The squad has elite hitting, size, blocking, passing, defense, setting, you name it.
Team 2: OH-Plummer, feels criminal leaving her off the first team OH-Gordon, others individual OHs have had better careers (Ogonna/Folkl/Fawcett for starters) but passing is needed here. Gordon more than holds her own as an attacker and server RS-Pavan, another one where it feels criminal leaving her off the top team. Most dominant right side attacker I've seen. MB-Foluke, dominant middle her entire career. Just a lethal scorer and a great blocker MB-Cacciamani, played very different volleyball than most middles do today, but she was a freaking stud. So good hitting in front of the setter and she was unstoppable out of the pipe. S-Carlini, watching her force slides to Foluke on every other play would be a thing of beauty L-Hentz, probably the best defensive libero I've seen in collegiate volleyball

Seeing some people mention Stacey Gordon makes me wish there was more than just the 2004 Minnesota-Ohio St match to watch of her’s on youtube. She looked absolutely insane in that match like I was shocked
