Russ Rose Then (1993): “Jenny came in as one of the top middle blockers in the country. She had a very good freshman year and became a big-time offensive player. If she can carry the offensive load again, we’ll be competitive in the Big Ten. Jenny is tough to play against. She’s strong and intelligent. If she can cut back on some of the aggressive hitting enors she commits, she could be an All-America candidate. In my opinion, Jenny is the key to how we will be this season. If she picks up where she left off as a freshman, we’ll be very good.”
