Sarah Hickman 6'5"; 10'4" touch. Hickman is left handed so she won't be playing MB. Most likely will play OPP.

I can get ESPN+ for $11/month. This gives me access to dozens of college WVB matches and hundreds of other sporting events each month. ESPN+ is the best bang for one's buck in the world of sports viewing.
Kendall Kipp and Jenna Gray are on a senior level USA National Team playing in the Pan American Cup. First match is tonight against Chile at 7:00pm. I will watch if I can figure out how to access the streaming service.

Whoa. Killer hard schedule.
Hope our team can do what I can do, nap on the long flights.
A learned self-preservation technique.
Though maybe comes more naturally and effectively to an old guy.

As shown above Stanford plays #1, #2, #3, and #4. I'd be happy if Stanford wins one of those matches. Stanford will have a true freshman MB, and a OPP and OH who are playing as rookie starters.
Stanford plays Texas, Nebraska and Kentucky within a six day period. Every year the schedule seems to get tougher. I love it.

I'm assuming Julia BLYASHOV will start at OH2 while Ipar KURT will be back-up for both OH1 and OH2 and even OPP?
From what I recall from her Turkey U18/U19/U20 national team playing years, Ipar spent most of her playing time at OPP.

This is the second match of the tournament. It's so good to see the connection between Gray and Kipp.
For years it's been said Miner will be the next setter on the Olympic roster but I think Gray could definitely challenge her.

Yes, that's how I see it.
Ipar is somewhat of an unknown quantity for me at this point. I watched plenty of videos of Ipar's play in Turkey. I haven't seen anything of Ipar since she joined the Stanford team. In theory a player making one of the best Turkish professional teams as a teen with another year of practice should be pretty good.
RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball -
BobK - 08-20-2024
Ipar looked really good on the left side
I did see her a bit on the right side looked great. Big arm. However talking with friends sidetracked me. lol. Of course who else would back up or best out Harvey

Logan Parks (2025) made First Team MaxPreps Pre-Season All American. Her position is listed as "All Around".
Logan Parks: 6-0 | Senior (Class of 2025) | Stanford
She tallied 444 kills, 361 assists, 228 digs and 81 aces in leading the Mustangs to the Class 6A title game. She passed the 1,000-career kill mark as a junior.
Kaci Demaria along with Taylor Harvey (Texas) and Abigail Mullen (USC) are second team.
