Thanks a ton Brian for the article! I like everything I hear so far. I found the blocking information especially interesting. If a "modified" swing blocking technique can help the back row defense...that's exciting. And I'm right there with you on a fast offense. I think it's important for a team to have the skills to run a fast offense, even if they don't use it against all the teams they play. It's the hardest to execute. Those high floaters out to the left OHs and a ball in front of the setter to the MB are the easiest to set. Fast-low sets to both the OHs and MBs -- especially when the setter is off the net -- are very hard to deliver. If we can add that to the mix of options, we get better right away.
Glad to hear Jess Sloan is onboard to arrive later this summer. Also want to point out verbal recruit Jane Emmernecker is scheduled to be a May signing period recruit, so no one from the University can comment on her at this time. I have heard she is also all-in so both 2014 recruits are solid and hard at work with their club teams preparing to be Flyers in the fall.
I didn't know Jill Loiars is in rehab. Hope both she and Jenna have speedy recoveries.
Big thanks to both Ally Morey and Shayne Brown -- heard both are helping this team during Spring practices.
Go Flyers!
