PrepVolleyball released their All-Americans. Maglio is on third team, Iosia is an honorable mention.

Also saw that ESPN will be handling the beach volleyball championships now. Honestly I’m going to miss TruTV producing it because of the ability to stream all five courts plus watching it on TV. I doubt ESPN will be doing the same.

24 That is true. The setters for Florida didn’t really set her well, but she always found a way to score points. If you watch the Stanford Florida match, her hitting was the best I’ve seen all year, having solid connections with the setters. In addition, her blocking numbers are amazing. And that is why she was the SEC Player of the Year.

Alhassan is an amazing athlete but 75% of the time she would tip, rarely got a good connection with her setters.. Hardly ever went behind the setter… IMO as a volleyball player she is over rated and never developed into what I would’ve expected when I saw her as a freshmen..

20.

“Rachel Kramer was more of a liability in the Final.”

yes that just proves that having really ‘big’ size dont matter, as the apparent 6’8 was big and slow.

no final poll?

merry xmas all!

Is anyone privy to the grapevine and know of players that the Wahine are interested in and are interested in our team?

Merry Christmas to all out there.

20. I beg to differ. I think they could definitely compete with Kentucky in the next few years. Kramer has put up solid numbers all season, but teams stacked on her during the NCAAs. Also, Florida is getting the #1 recruit in Thayer Hall, a six-rotation player who I dare to say is better than Lexi Sun was out of high school. And although they lose Alhassan, King will step right up as a premier slide attacker and a great blocker (although not as good as Alhassan cause she was a monster). We will see how Florida develops next year, but I think we will see them compete well.

I feel really, really bad for Mary Wise. I hope she doesn’t turn out to be the Susan Lucci of NCAA volleyball. Of course, Lucci finally did win. But I hope it doesn’t take Mary Wise 19 runner-ups to finally win one.

Sadly, though, I feel that this was the year and maybe the only year. Rhamat Alahassan is irreplaceable; touched the highest probably out of any collegiate women’s volleyball player ever. Shanaih Joseph, no one leaped higher than her in the Final Four. Carly Snyder’s all-around game was dynamite. Kentucky will rule the SEC for the next few years. Florida’s reserves are just not at the next level. Rachel Kramer was more of a liability in the Final.
