Tusher is back on the Beach team.  Dunkle has left the team.  Hambly didn’t want to give a reason

Dunkle was unlikely to get any meaningful playing time and she probably knew that.  Highly ranked MB coming in next year and possibly one in 2028.   Although sometimes I question if some of these recruits who quit the team after a year or two and focus on the Stanford degree have that option in the back of their mind all along.  My theory is this might happen with Hickman.

Didn't realize this:

STATISTICAL RANKINGS: Stanford leads the ACC and is fifth nationally with a .302 attack percentage. The Cardinal also paces the conference in assists (13.42) and kills (14.26) per set, ranking seventh and 10th in the NCAA, respectively. Stanford is third in the ACC in aces (1.68) and seventh in digs (13.69).

I find this hard to square with all the criticism of Parks.

I take it you did not watch the UNC match on Friday if you believe the criticism of Parks' setting location is not warranted.  I would like to see a discussion between you and sakibomb about Parks' setting.   That would be entertaining.  Is sakibomb on sabbatical from Cardboard?

I enjoy your presentation of stats and other meaningful info.  Hope you continue.
