As for libero next season, I don’t think it will be Wagoner. They liked what they saw from her at OH.
We will see.

So whom do you all recommend to be libero? Or does Robyn need to fish for a transfer to fill Rika Okino’s shoes? If there is no one else, that leaves either Janelle Gong or Brooke van Sickle who is also listed as a libero as well as outside hitter in the roster. The Amber Igiedi would have to be converted into a six-rotation hitter while Anna Kiraly, the new recruit, and Skyler Williams and Tiffany would alternate as middle blockers. Any suggestions?

Yeah, Riley clearly has the skills/IQ as well as leadership to be a great libero but I would really like to see what she can do as OH. Other than the hitting efficiency, she has demonstrated such high all around skills/know-hows in her freshman season. Let’s see what a year of training will bring now that she knows what is required to succeed.

Wagoner is needed at OH2. We don’t have another 6 rotation player coming in until Mia Johnson in 2021 so it’s important that Wagoner develop in a starter. Jolie and BVS only have one more year so Riley will be counted on to fill their shoes.

Robyn promised Wagoner a chance to be an OH and I don’t think Robyn will give up that idea after one season. It is in UH’s best interest that Wagoner become a starter at OH2 because after Brooke and Jolie graduate, there are only Riley and Hanna as 6 rotation players.

No one coming in this year is a 6 rotation player. Braelyn and Tiff could develop into one down the line but that is a long term project.

All you have to look at is how McKenna Ross have developed. Wagoner has better skill sets coming into the program so it wouldn’t take that long for Riley to become what Ross was this past season.

14. I like Wagoner too. Ah Mow praises her high VB IQ, and that would certainly be especially advantageous in a libero.
