We're about a month away from any official announcement. But I can confidently say that we'll have 4 on this year's team.
1. Megan Courtney: will be her 3rd B1G Preseason Team, NCAA Tourney Most Outstanding Player
2. Aiyana Whitney: All B1G honorable mention, Second Team AA
3. Ali Frantti: All B1G honorable mention, B1G Freshmen Team, Second Team AA, National Freshmen of the Year
4. Haleigh Washington: All B1G Team, B1G Freshmen Team, B1G Freshmen on the Year
Also I wonder where the teams will place on the 2015 Big Ten Preseason Poll?
My top 5 are:
1. PSU
2. Nebraska
3. Wisconsin
4. Illinois
5. Michigan State |

Gee, we don't get the FOY award this year? I guess we have the talent but will they get to play.

5. Michigan State Just trying to make sure I understand; you're saying Courtney, Whitney, Franti, and Washington will be pre-season All B1G selections--right? The information that follows each player are honors from last season, and in Courtney's case before. I understood your top 5 just fine. It will be interesting to see if the B1G coaches vote PSU first. After last year's B1G player of the year selection, I think there might be a little animus directed at PSU. |

Yes, your understanding is correct. The information following each player was to support or justify this case. It would be interesting with these selections, to not have PSU at first. |

What I can't remember is how may players the B1G selects for the pre-season honors; and if they select 1st, 2nd, 3rd teams--you get the idea. The four players you've named are, without a doubt, PSU's best returning players. While I have no doubt they'll do well in the coming season, I think it's the unnamed players who hold the key to how successful the team will be. As a fan with absolutely no knowledge of what's transpired in the off-season (save for what I learn here, on the PSU site, and Volleytalk), I'm waiting for the season to start and hoping I can watch a lot of the games on the net.
