HUD Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 Does anybody know why Alicia O. isn't getting more VB playing time? Is she injured? Quote
HB Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 Does anybody know why Alicia O. isn't getting more VB playing time? Is she injured? She is not injured. There is more talent ahead of her at the hitter positions than there was last year. Foeke is playing great as a true freshman. Fien came on strong last year and has played well this year. Boender was injured last year and red-shirted; she is seeing time this year. Albrecht has been playing some front row this year. And then there is Kadie Rolfzen. There is a LOT of talent on the front row, and a little more size this year. I suspect it doesn't have anything to do with Alicia, but simply a case of better talent ahead of her. Quote

Yes......the volleyball team is simply better equiped and deeper this year, and has more gifted players in play now, as said by HB, and as shown by their current #5 national ranking. They should be very good next year too. Alicia is surrounded by heavy duty talent. Foeke is roughly the equvilante to Shepard on the basketball team in terms of respective nationally ranked talent. Hopefully Shepard will also have as much impact on the basketball team. Quote
HUD Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Posted September 14, 2015 Thanks for the replies. I follow the VB team some but the WBB much more probably due to the difficult time in getting VB game tickets. I'm sure Alicia is still vital in providing leadership and depth. Quote
Bugeaters1 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 So why not go train with the basketball team. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote
whoopdeedoo Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 ^^^ i am going to assume it has something to do with her being on volleyball scholarship? Quote
HUD Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Posted September 14, 2015 I thought she went on a BB scholarship for this year. Quote
HB Posted September 14, 2015 Report Posted September 14, 2015 She is a Captain on the volleyball team. Quote
Row6Seat10 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Hopefully she'll get to see more time on the basketball court than she's seeing on the volleyball court. Bugeaters1 1 Quote
whoopdeedoo Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 i admit, not sure how that schollie thing has worked out. you could be right, HUD. Quote
redsteve Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Read that Volleyball freshman outside hitter Mikaela Foecke picked up Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week honors on Monday following her weekend performance at the Ameritas Players Challenge. Can't help that think we'll be reading that kind of thing soon about Jess Shepard. Quote
