new thread up for Saturday.

Answer on Lipscomb on new thread.
some brutal comments.
I didn’t think they ‘stunk up the place’
Other than Set 1, they played pretty well.
Granato played herself out of negative, came up with key kills
Think the real key was Castillo in Set 2. She was 5-0-7. when that happens, the block has to honro the pins and it opened up the middle.
Maglio only had 3 kills through Set 2. Passing got better and they were able to run the middle.
Bottom line. They picked up the W.

R78
Don’t see it
Always thought her jump vertical wasn’t high enough, hope for the best for her ,if she indeed left the program.

#80. Do you go to games in person? I do and granato’s passing woes are very apparent thru the entire match. She should not be playing backrow.

I disagree about Granato not playing back row. She has been passing pretty well up to this game. She did steady out after the first game. It’s her serving that’s been problematic. I kind of look at it that you take the good with the bad. Very sure that they are working on it. She has the best back row attack on the roster. I do like Ross in the back row. I think they found a home for her.

77. I don’t know how Robyn actually is, but i agree that in general old school attitude won’t cut it in the long run. Old futs can blame the young players, but unless a coach is recruiting 40 year old freshman, the coach needs to adapt and stress communication over pure discipline.

If it’s true that Shaney Lipscomb has left the program that is really disappointing. I had high hopes for her. IMHO she was the heir apparent to NT’s opposite position….big loss if true….

Hope the coach can get some foreign players/transfers during the offseason, if not the team’s going to be in trouble next season.

Ah Mow seems to have a very different coaching style than Shoji, who seemed to be more laid back during the last few years. I think Robyn said in an interview that she thought Dave had mellowed a lot from the time she was a player to when she was on his coaching staff. I have to wonder how her personality might play with potential recruits.

Totally agree Conner, Ross, based on passing alone should be in the back row. With her ability to hit the pipe set makes this a no brainer IMO. This would allow Granato to concentrate on what she does best, pound the ball from the front row.

No win will be a given in the BWC, but Hawaii has more talent on its roster than everyone else – including Cal Poly.

Cal Poly is playing the best right now though, and they have terminating outsides and an amazing senior setter.

Unfortunate to hear that Lipscomb likely left the program. I have a feeling she won’t be the only one after this season.
