With Baird, Kipp and Francis the three pin hitters I don't see Oglivie moving one of them to the bench 

Arm injuries don't require boots, LOL  J/K

You know only 16 at large to the NCAAs this year not 32 as normal.  Stanford needs lots of wins and they missed 4 games.

I respectfully disagree.  I think all the firepower at the net doesn't matter if no one can pass the ball.  Let's look at our first three matches this year where the passing was pretty bad.  You had Oglivie (good passer) passing 6 rotations, Baird (not great passer) passsing 6 rotations and Berty (really not great passer) passing 6 rotations.  And remember that Kipp's passing is a level below Berty otherwise she would have been passing.  Next year, if Oglivie remains at libero then Baird has to pass 6 rotations and Kipp has to pass 3-6 rotations depending if she is DS'd in the back row or not.  That's 1/3rd of our passing that is good and 2/3rds of our passing that has to get a lot lot better over the course of one year.  The alternative is Oglivie at OH2 passes 6 rotations, Louegay or the new DS at libero passes 6 rotations and then you have Baird pass 3 rotations and you DS her in the back row.  Suddenly 5/6ths of your passing is good.  And if you are concerned about Oglivie's hitting, you still have Kipp in for 6 rotations hitting out of the front or back row.
