With Inky coming back next year, we should be positioned to compete for the Pac-12 championship.

We do lose Burgess, Howard and Bugg. I don't know too much about volleyball, so I am not sure if we have underclassmen or freshmen coming in to fill their roles, but that seems like notable losses.
Interesting that this year's final four doesn't include any Pac-12 schools or Penn State or traditional powerhouses, besides Nebraska.

We have the # 1 class in the country coming in. Players ranked 2,3,12,16,31
That's a monster class. But it's really a team game so it takes adjusting

That's encouraging that we have the top rated recruiting class. It seems we have a strong core of Inky, Lutz and Hodson to build around if the freshmen can get acclimated early.

Who will be our setter with Bugg leaving? That seems to me to be the greatest question, and the most impactful loss.

Ivana Vanjak will be a major contributor with her return to her natural position (OH). Big question is passing/serve receive. Who will serve receive with McKenna?

There's a talented and highly recruited setter coming in next year but I think Kelsey Humphreys will start.

Agree with 77 on Humphreys and Gray great setter. We have the best defensive player in the country coming in, Hentz, Player of the Year in Kentucky. We won't have the all around of Bugress and Howard but will have two great liberos so one will play a lot of back row if not the libero.Â
