18. I wouldn’t say that about Greeley. I think she moves better than Taylor did at this time last year. And you have to remember that Taylor sat out her senior year of vb and still was getting back into game mode.
hard to make an assessment since all OHs are getting reps from LS, RS and 3-meter. and they switch sides during scrimmages so they are being set by different setters
Of those currently working out, Manu-Olevao on the LS, Passi on the RS. but they’re also swinging from the opposite pins. Greeley puts up a bigger block than either. Long has had some solid swings from both sides. Maglio hitting well from 3-meters.

Here we go again we go through this every year just as before when it seemed that Croson wouldnt start and then Taylor wouldnt and then come opening day they do end up Starting , fully expect the same with Greeley.

It seems Greeley is not as far along as Nikki Taylor was at this time, last year.

Who are the top 3 OH that are practicing right now, in your opinion, Cindy?

Don’t think Passi’s passing skills are highly regarded as some people might think. She’s so Danielson or Otineru.

I think they need Passi in there just because of her passing skills & digging. Hopefully Long can finally earn a spot in the starting rotation as a hitter.

8. a lot is riding on Taylor’s return.
Koelsch WILL NOT be a hitter. She is the reserve setter and that is where she is training. The Opp options are Passi and Long. but, again, in UH’s offense, the LSs hit twice on the left, once on the right, the RS/Opp twice on the right, once on the left.

3. agree that we’ve been hearing about Long’s 3-meter attack for a couple of years. Pretty much only seen in practice. Key is her serve and defense. I think her playing sand has helped in those regards. And Shoji said they will be using 3-meter attacks ‘extensively.’

1. didn’t say they were looking good at DS/L but they have a lot of depth and Mendoza and Kahakai are the top two.
As for Greeley, everyone is getting reps. I’m not expecting her to start from what I’ve seen and the lineups they’ve had in the scrimmages. She is not in the top 3 for OH for now.
