I am not a Volleyball expert but with all the seniors graduated, let's evaluate the current roster:
1) #1 Kathryn Cather, a RS and has not seen the floor at PSU
2) #6 Nia Reed, an OH but only play 3 rotation
3) #17 Michaela Putnicki, an OH but has not seen her on the bench for sometimes.
We will have a setter (Bryanna) coming back, a new setter coming in (Gabby) so at least we are set there.
We will have a RS coming in, Jonni Parker, assuming she can play OH with Nia and Cather plays RS. We are not sure Jonni can play 6 rotations as we know Nia can not.
We will have 3 MB coming in and Serena Gray has a body type that can play OH so I hope she can. From youtube, she can also hit the pipe so she may be able to convert to OH.
I hope RR can find a 6 rotation OH to transfer to PSU otherwise, our DS will be super busy.
I have 100% trust in RR and I am sure he will figure out, but my opinion, 2018 will be a challenge.
WE ARE.....
