Thanks for the useless comment that adds nothing, but tosses your own idiocy into the ring. Bravo.

Something crawl up your butt? I greatly appreciate it when fellow fanatics point out hotties.
She sounds like a phenomenal athlete. I remember hearing that if you took her best times/results from her senior year of high school, and plugged them into the B12 track meet, she would have finished something like 8th as a team, by herself. Now I can't cite the source, so don't crucify me if I'm off on that, but the point stands that she was/is a track phenom. As someone else mentioned, it's amazing that she can compete at that high a level in 2 sports.
I don't follow either program closely enough to know what's best, but it's hard to argue her choice to specialize. Hopefully it works out best for all involved.

I follow track pretty closely and Hannah is a MUCH better track athlete than she is a volleyball player and that is saying something.
Here is what she did in track in high school:
High jump 6'1" (this height would have won the B12 outdoor meet last year)
100m 12.36
200m 24.99
400m 53.96 (time would have placed 9th at B12 outdoor meet last year)

Any particular reasons?
I guess this situation is not caused by problems with the Coach. Wilms just prefers concentrating on track and Johnson is taking a medical hardship.
there was a setter that was comitted to us that switched to Indiana a while ago...Gallegher?
...and it just seems as though Hannah never really adjusted to college vball...an athletic freak that couldnt quite grip the mechanics of the college OH...hitting into the block and not moving her wrists enough are things that come to mind

Hannah is a talented and enthusiastic volleyball player. There's no doubt she could keep contributing to ISU volleyball to the enjoyment of many fans. She's fun to watch.
But... she is already an All America caliber track athlete. With her performance at the indoor NCAA national meet last spring, she earned 2nd team All America honors. This was only a couple months after volleyball season ended, so with limited training.
By focusing on track, she probably can set records, win championships, and have a professional career ahead of her if she wants it.

Did Johnson have an injury that limited her? Never heard about it.
I hope they find some players from IA that turn out to be superstars to replace them.

Bigbee, Kurht, and Vondrak will get their chance to do that starting next year. I think Bigbee will step right into Peterson's spot and the other two will be in the mix for roles as well.
Next season should be awesome. It wasn't until the end of the season that we finally had some production in the OH2 position. With Hurtt coming on strong and Hockaday at full strength we should be better than last year. Final Four here we come!!!
