RANKING all the Positions in Volleyball

[@Ifesol]

Okay, fine. Maybe being a middle is kinda tough. But those moments when you read the set perfectly and stuff a spike? Best feeling ever

[@michaelklaphake4093]

Middle is the most rewarding position when you make a play. It's a lot of hard work that doesn't get recognized but a complete stuff block or bouncing a 1st tempo ball is just so satisfying

[@Ifesol]

Being a middle blocker is like being the volleyball court's janitor - you're always cleaning up messes! You read the setter like a psychic, only to get sent scrambling across the court anyway. One minute you're a human wall, the next you're playing vertical tennis against hitters with cannons for arms. But those perfect slide kills - the crowd's roar makes you feel invincible! Just don't get cocky, or the libero will make you pay. It's a rollercoaster of glory and confusion, but hey, that's the thrill of being a middle!

[@adrielwamulanga9234]

I disagree with the middle part 😤

[@theplayer7960]

Middles, like he said dont get too cocky or the libs will most definitely make you pay.

[@victornaeyaert3041]

Lol Middle position SO underrated. With a good Middle you have a power hitter, decoy and a wall. If you don't have them, it gonna get a LOT harder. Also is a position that not many people wants to play. So love to the middle positions.

[@Sigma_Luffy1111]

well, i agree if it is not on a high level game. cuz middle position has much more potential and impact on a lower level game

[@Presley909]

In the past I’ve played outside hitter and currently I play middle blocker, I’m also thinking about playing setter

[@ajflave21]

i personally think that middles are very important to the match because of them drawing the blocks. Its so much easier as a setter when i can establish my middle as a threat to score early so the blockers cant cheat over to the outside or right side as much, making it much easier to get them single/no blockers.

[@SneakyBastard-oi4eb]

THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU GOOD SETTERS

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

This is a good setter!

[@Urodeprag]

Middles are underrated. They are definitely one of the, if not the highest contributor. It's also the most fun position.

[@camocow666]

No way is it the most fun bro I’ve been playing middle for 2 years I’m starting to really hate it

[@camocow666]

@EfuruNwapa my team doesn’t even have a libero so usually the first ball isn’t good enough for middle to be an option

[@camocow666]

@EfuruNwapa I play for a club, I am in England so it is a much smaller sport here. Hoping we get a libero next season🙏🙏🙏

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

As a middle, I think the top contributor is definitely the setter. Without a good setter, the usefulness of a middle is about a 4 for the ability to severely restrict opponents' attacks, but with a good setter their usefulness can be more like an 8 with quick attacks and baiting the blocker on the other side. A middle can be extremely useful, but everything depends on the setter.

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

@@camocow666 Dude, tell your coach you don't like it and switch positions. Volleyball is supposed to be fun! Being a middle is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it is exhilarating when you get quick sets and get to shine in the attack.

i think that oppo should have a higher skill ranking. most of the time, the outside gets these perfect dime sets, and we’re stuck with the backsets that dont go where they should half the time. it takes quite a bit of skill to adjust to these sets.

[@Dan08D]

In low level volleyball that’s somewhat true. However in general when you have a decent setter, oppo sets are easier to hit and adjust to

[@lonk1769]

One aspect that get missed alot with middles is that they have so many offensive options to experiment with. Different approaches, Tempos, combinations.

[@BT7835]

at 6:00 I just find it so funny that while talking about how serving specialist requires more skill than opposite he shows a clip of an opposite serving

fr oposite is not as easy you have to play defence and hit from the back so its not as easy

[@tzbgm_]

(4:54) “Hey, maybe you’re a middle out there that just loves absolutely jumping up and down all the time with no reward.” That’s pretty much the job description 😂 I went from outside hitter to middle and boyyyyyy the amount of movement involved is whewwwww. I love it though. Probably wouldn’t change my position (but would love to be set a few times at least, damn).

[@c_freezygaming9182]

[@clarashaw-o2z]

[@FjordaKastrati]

Honestly i have been practicing for like more than two years and i changed three positions like i started as a middle (hated my life) and then i was an outside hitter (funest time of my life)but I wasn’t really good at spikes so they changed me to libero (a lil less fun but i love receiving)so who am i to complain but i do agree with him about setter being the most talented yet hardest position ever cose u literally have to learn how to read ppls moves like a book 😦

[@jacquelinelever4822]

As a Libero, I think a middle is VERY important. How hard is it to dig a spike with no block? It turns from doable to impossible. If you don't have a well formed block in the front row, it makes defense in the back row incredibly hard (i.e. middle back pulling forward to cover a gap in the block leaves the deep court open). I do agree that offense is more important than defense, but it is impossible to have a good offense without a good defense creating opportunities for attacks. Even if a middle doesn't block their matchup 100% of the time, they are decreasing the options the opposing attacker has, that attacker is now forced to hit around the block rather than anywhere they want. All in all though, I think the rankings were pretty solid.

[@Joaco_2110]

jugar de libero es muy divertido !! saludos desde argentina bro 🏐

[@Koraleko]

The joy of playing a setter is the best feeling ever, I swear. Especially when you play with really skilled players with whom you can perform various stuff! But the best part of it is when you absolutely destroy other team's blockers and create an open sky for the hitter or when you make a perfect fake set, that just sends shivers down my spine. Bet Simonne Gianneli feels the same playing his position

[@LatebutLearning]

As someone who prefers to play left side, here is how I see it. Everyone will be different and the list is subjective. I only started playing in my mid 20's but I got good enough quickly as I mainly trained with varsity players. Late learning, but I got to see what I thought would be easiest for me to pickup quickly. It really depends on the person, and you need to identify what you like and can get good at. As far as easiest goes Opposite is the easiest, outside next, libero, middle(depends on height, but based on me at 6' and slow), and then setter. Outside you just fix balls and get kills, identify the block, and be a decent receiver and you are good. Opposite is the same, minus passing, but I find hitting down the line harder. Receiving is harder to pick up than hitting line from right side though. Libero needs to be the best receiver and setter from the back row. If an outside misses a ball, you can let it slide more than a libero. The defence is on his back, and him messing up a receive is a problem. Lots of pressure. A good set and a good hit starts with a good receive. Hate on liberos all you want, but they are the start to your good hits. Middle because it's a lot of jumping and turning, plus you have to be quick to get a good kill. 2 blockers is the usual, 1 is the minimum if you aren't fast enough. So you need to be good at identifying the block and picking a location fairly quick. Setter for obvious reasons. Base position is 1 and I know a lot of receivers that don't get the ball high enough for them. They have to make a decision on up to 5 hitters on the court based on how everyone on your team and the other is oriented. That's before you consider silky hands that can float the ball within a small area for the hitter to hit it. It is possible I could be too dumb for setter, but I can hit a solid 3m line bounce(done it twice in one day recently, but the net was 7'10) and cross from the left side. As an outside, I just have to be powerful and accurate. If I get a good set, I feel like ass if I miss because I know how good it was and I feel like I let them down. Hitting a line shot 3' out to the left kills me when the set is mint.

[@mitsu3347]

As an opposite hitter I love the fact that if I make a mistake, I'll have time to cool down and hide from the game for a few sets and come back better

[@TwistedTeaFate]

I'm a short middle (6'2") but I've always loved middle. I love blocking, and hitting quick sets is a lot of fun. HOWEVER I will admit I complain about my setters and my knees a lot. I'm pretty good at making up for my low height, very fast on blocks, good at hitting around blocks too, but I HARD agree that middles have low impact. There have been times where I played for bad teams, and so just felt helpless. Bad passes mean you never get set, and bad setter means you can't hit properly or consistently. And if your pins are bad, then it's a nightmare trying to solo block all 3 hitters on the opposing team

[@Kaelyn_Eades]

I’m a freshman 5’6 middle lol (I’m a girl so that’s probably why)

[@ascent1on716]

yeah man it just feels so bad when either your having an off game or day and the other team is way better (unless you hit some kind of block and it just lights you up some type of way) or your teams setter refuses to pass to you and the other team just wont ever hit and will try and tip every ball. But then when get that one moment when everything is right and the flow and course of the game is ruled by you just feels so good.

[@teemulaitala2509]

Serving specialist is The most underrated position by far, i could Yap here for More than 100 rows But just imagine this: youre losing The set 15-21, you get subbed in. You absolutely fucking blow that first serve perfectly on The Back line and they barely Even touch it, you get The point. You do The same thing again But this Time to The opposite side, you get The point. You mix it up and do a floater and they receive it badly, you get The point. You do a normal hard serve it touches The net But drops in, you get The point. You do one More serve and they received it nicely, you get The ball up, you get The point. You do one More floater and you Hit The net. You lose The point But win The set 25-23 you were The mvp by far. Its mostly a matter of just how good you are at serving (ofc depends who you are playing against) Back in like grade 7 i had a temmate who sometimes got like 10 points in a row, he was a serving specialist who was one of The most impactful people on The team. So yeah, serve fun skill issue detected opinion rejected.

[@ratzytatzy]

I played as a Libero for 6 years in my nationals team, It was taking a toll on my knees so I made the decision to switch to a Setter, I've been doing that for 3 years now. I can say whole heartedly that being a Libero is far more difficult than being a Setter, I'd say libero is a 10/10 and Setter is a 7-10 in terms of difficulty, equal with impact in a match at 8/10, and Libero is a 8/10 for fun while Setter is a 7/10. Both are some of the best positions, but I think Libero slightly takes it.

[@ViperDivinity]

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

TL;DR I think middles should be at least 17 points, and outsides should be at most 24 As a middle, I am of course a little biased here, but I think the importance and fun of the middle position should be a little higher. Not only does the middle blocker cut off a large portion of the opponents' attacking plays, but it also is such a crucial part of the attack. When blocking, the middle is usually the only one who can limit/ shut down the attack from the opponents' middle, and if they are good at closing the block, it severely restricts the attacking options of all the opponents. In attacking, the biggest threat is always a quick set to a middle, because the middle attacks from the center of the court with no more than one blocker, giving them more options in attack placement than the other attackers. The middle being a good attacker and good at baiting the blocker, allows the other hitters to get more options in their attacks too. As for the fun, I hate being subbed for the Libero in back row, but once I am in front row, quick sets are just so much more fun than high sets, and WAAAY more fun than getting no sets, so it is definitely more fun to be middle than an opposite and libero IMO. If I am trying to be fair, I would say middle should have 17 points at least, but my unfiltered personal opinion is that it deserves about 20. And why does everyone say being an outside is so hard? You don't have the hardest job in defense, you have the easiest job as a blocker, and 90% of the time you also get the easiest sets as an attacker! Definitely should be at least 2 points less IMO. And while I'm at it, I think setters are more important that outsides.

[@tomberman3]

I'm opposite hitter now, but I have played as outside hitter, libero and middle blocker. I still would love to play as a middle if I were a lot taller person. Also I'd really love to try playing as a setter, but in my team there're too many setters for me to even try. So I play opposite and I love hitting the ball, I just want my setter to set me more even though I have made most points on my team

[@tomberman3]

And no even though this might sound as a very experienced player, I'm not that good player in many aspects.. So I do what I do best which is serve max or miss and kill the ball or lose it

I think you summed it up pretty well but still everyone is different As a short person who previously played offense I couldn't wait to be in the back row and now that I'm a libero I'm more confident and at ease So I think everyone should ask themselves what is the best volleyball position for *them*

[@wdymE11]

I feel like skill for middle should have been a point or two higher because while constantly jumping up and down around the court you have to read the whole front line not just the setter and who they are going to set to, but also the hitters because you can’t know how they are going to spike. Even though being a middle is easier if you are taller, it is not an easy position, commonly getting overlooked

[@Hashiramoon-y5p]

As a Libero myself the position does take a lot of skill some days I’m the lord and savior of the team and other days the ball just never comes my way either way I love my job and would never change it because without good defense you can’t set up a good offense

[@diabolic-i4s]

outside hitter is more fun to play than the right side hitter therefore it should be 9 or 10. absolutely agree with the rest. good job

[@ameliaray0711]

i absolutely love middle!!! everyone else on my team hates playing it

[@elliotmyers9071]

I have to say middle is a blast. It’s like a 1 man army to stop the other team. Either the team chance balls or does a push to get the ball over. I don’t let anyone have an easy hit as the middle. Stuffing spikes or spiking an opponent’s misplaced set are rewarding moments. Your team gains a bit of relief and a moral boost from seeing the plays. Not to mention being a decoy so your hitters can have open hits. Throw in a few good set plays so the opponents think you are setting the second hit but… you spike instead. Middle is so close to the setter that the other team has to play against your minus tempo. Back row is manageable with pipe hits, do a back row jump sets or a set rotation to solidify your “setting” prowess. Proceed to dunk on the second hit.

[@GMK87]

I think you definitely underrated the Middle, because a good Block needs Skill+endurance and is very important for the defense (Free hitting rooms for the enemy). Definitely +6 Points

[@Huixinwaisum520]

This is kinda baised since i played libero since like 5th grade but I've ALWAYS been my team's libero, lot's of it has to do with my height since i'm literally the height of a 4th grader (i'm like 5'1) front row was always really hard for me so i preferred playing defence. Yes, it's hard, yes it's very painful (usually most libero's have like two kneepads, a bunch of bruises, bandages on their hands and fingers) but the feeling of being able to send that ball back into the court feels so, so amazing

[@SimplyDumplingg]

As an outside, I can definetly comfirm that outsides are SOOOO much fun and you can bring your whole team back with some spikes, even though my blocks are rusty. However, I do admire all the other position and honestly I think middles should have a better score!

[@mcyt_s1mp43]

I’ve played as a libero, outside, opposite, setter, and DS and I think opposite is way harder than people give it credit for because they have the smallest room to hit and have the least options so we have to be able to adjust all the time and have to block the outside which is the most prominent hitter on the other side of the court i also think the defensive positions deserved a little more credit but setter is 1000% the hardest position

[@spadesnothere3173]

I kinda just got placed as a right side one day and I've been set there since lol! the only hard thing I think is that you have to approach weird for a better wind up

[@rangexeditz5241]

Personally I completely agree. Maybe buff up the opposites skill to 4 cause on a new team with an average setter, they won’t be able to set back as well meaning you would need to be able to adjust a bit more. That’s only when they do set opposite tho

[@definitely_not_petroyla6011]

The fact that I play opposite hitter and i see everyone wants to be a outside but my dream is to play libero just made me think that i am crazy.

[@seine_pestilenz2979]

Honestly in lower leagues and teams where you might not have a libero, its pretty fun to play middle because you are not getting swapped out and have to serve and basically be a libero who can also sometimes attack while being in the back row. But i can imagine it would be something different if you only stand in the front for 3 rotations and might not get any impact.

[@PokJiro]

So happy to see the praise towards my fav position

[@speedymathias8224]

As a middle I agree with the fun, I would even rank it lower. Skill is decently ranked as you need to account for everything a setter needs to account for but then you need to take it a step further and move to make that choice, that takes insane reaction time and is a very difficult skillset to master. But for importance I just gotta disagree. Think what will happen if a middle is late to the block or miss judges, without a middle the spiker will almost definitely have a 1 on 1 on the wings and a no block kill at the middle. It is also very important to fake out other players to give the wings better chances to score by luring them away. The middle is one of if not the MOST IMPORTANT positions if a middle and setter have chemistry. If a setter can get it to the middle on an out of system play like we can see in the VNL and european league then there will always be a threat and it will always be important. I rest my case.

[@SneakyBastard-oi4eb]

Except the fun part (I love being a middle), I completely agree with you.

[@elliotmyers9071]

This is well said.

[@strategymapper7824]

I play as setter but i played as a opposite hitler the most of the time. I believe that mentally the setter is the most exhausting. Seeing blocks stopping attacks, having to make a good pass with mediocre receptions. Physically I don't feel very tired, especially if I have good receptors. As an opposite hitler r, it's pretty simple. I usually don't receive it despite being very good at receiving it. And I have very few opportunities to attack and when the opponent's block delays, it's very simple. I played as a hitter for a while. It's complicated because the block is always very strong. The good thing is that I always receive passes and can always attack whenever I want. As I'm short I can't always be attacking. therefore be opposite. But as a setter I can say that it is the most difficult. The mental weight is absurd and sometimes even when you're not tired, the psychological burden seems to hold your muscles back.

[@ava_hernandez.x]

You should do a ranking like this again but with a player that plays all around (like me)

[@SneakyBastard-oi4eb]

My ratings for positions (making them in the order you put them): Serving specialist Skill: 4, I think serving is easier to practice and get better at than the rest. Importance: 2, too situational Fun: 1 as well Total: 7 Middle Skill: 7, depends on your physical prowess. If you're a shorter but flexible middle, like me, you'll be able to do so much more than just block and hit hard. Many last resort balls have come to me, and I actually deal with them by intentionally tooling most of the time. And I have good serving, passing and defense compared to what is expected from a middle in my age and height. Importance: this, I HAVE to disagree. 6. Any spiker knows the frustration of always having to face a double block if your middle isn't good, and all of the defense will cry if your middle doesn't at least soft block. I admit that when things get "desperate", the middle won't do much, but they're still the central (hehe) pieces of blocking and defense. Fun: this will be heavily tied to your setter, tied to your passers and a bit tied to the overall skill of the spikers playing. It can fluctuate between a 4 and an 8, where 4 is pretty much the setter never sets you, and 8 is when the setter and you use your skills well and accordingly. Total: 17 to 21 (average is 19, MY average is 20, I like it a lot) Opposite Skill: to be an opposite worth your damn, AT LEAST 4. You'll need to be an attacking monster (be it by strength or technique, and in the backrow) and hold yourself well in serving and defending. Importance: 7, slightly agree, but with how opposites play today, I think if they're a little bit behind, the setter gets stressed much more easily. Fun: nah. I played opposite for a good while and it's not as fun as the rest (except serving specialist). I give it a 7 at best Total: 18 Libero Skill: 8, agreed. Importance: 6, we, Brazilians, just KNOW how important a libero on their game is. Serginho just has everything... and the difference between our Tokyo Olympics and Katowice World Championship was Thales Hoss being off his game in the first (I still have nightmares about that 4th place), and on his game in the latter. Fun: 6, agreed. Total: 20 Outside Hitter Skill: 10, I think it's, physically and technically, the most difficult position (not the most complicated, simply the most difficult and under some of the highest pressure). Importance: 9, agreed. Fun: 7, I really don't think enthusiastically when I have to play outside when we have too many middles and all of them have to practice for us to see who's better, even though I have enough skill to become one with more focused practice. Total: 26 as well, different personal reasoning Setter Skill: 10, agreed as well Importance: 8. You'll KNOW if your setter is bad. The only parts in which a setter can't do much is if you need to emergency set a highball to your outside or opposite, or when your spikers are simply killing everything. Otherwise, EVERY PLAY will have your hands in it. Fun: too variable, in my opinion, 5 to 9. Can't really explain it. Total: 23 to 27 (my average coincides with the general average, 25) Ranking, best to worst: Outside (26), Setter (25), Libero (20, edited in because I forgot it), Middle (19), Opposite (18), Serving Specialist (7).

[@CokelinGames]

I love playing opposite hitter. In lower level play opposite hitters tend to be more defensive and all-around then just a power hitter. I'm not talking about at the college or professional level obviously. So you end up needing to have all the skills like an outside, but also potentially back-up setting as well. So you need to have a average / above-average skill in all facets of the game. I love being able to do a piece of everything and back-up everything up. But that's just the leagues / level I play at.

[@bopete3204]

It is possible for a libero to have the match on their shoulders (I've had it many times especially when I was in a lower category) I still don't think it's the hardest position, it just requires commitment and it's fun if you like it. As I am getting better i'm learning about the importance of each position and how much I like mine. Also if there's not a good defense then there could not be an offense so I like my job. And i've played other positions too for games (I'd never be a setter tho, I can't even set with my arms) My respect for setters.

man i can totally agree, i am an outsider hitter myself and i play relatively good but man in my last tournament we had to sub our setter and the dude was just BAD... we lost almost every set that day and i got like 5 balls in total in the entire tournament ... sheeesh that was a bad experience

[@Nafkoi]

middle blocker is underrated it should be top 3 imo

[@milohickerson9126]

I feel like you greatly undervalued middles for their importance like if they dont close the block its basically just a free point for the other team at the highest levels

[@dsp4ir]

i started off as opp hitter, then setter, then libero and i can honestly say that i absolutely DID NOT miss my other positions when i switched to libero ☠️ my serves are pretty weak, im very short (literally 140cm), my team was very offensive, so i was extremely exhausted both mentally and physically only halfway through the first sets even though i was pampered as a setter. once i was libero, i was definitely physically tired, but i never actually had to stress anymore, so i never switched positions after that.

[@Mokari-Yoko]

I think middle needs an award cause their head be moving faster than a Lamborghini so they don’t get in the setter’s way or to know where the ball is😭

[@DragonStar524]

Now remembering Haikyuu when Tsukishima blocked Ushijima's spike.

[@monicawilliams1294]

as someone who's played as an outside, an opposite, and a setter (when ours is injured), i think setters definitely so frustrating cause there's too many possibilities to account for, and middle is the WORST. Personally, middle is too much for me, it's like i have to think much faster than usual (even more than setter...). Opposite sucks cause you never get set honestly but when you do (since im a leftie) you get to destroy! And i don't usually play outside but playing outside is awesome cause you always get set...

[@theplayer7960]

My coach always says that serving and passing are the easiest way to win a game, and we all know that's a fact.

[@AceBforever]

The only thing I disagree with is middle blocker's importance! Timing with blocks, being able to cut off area of which I outside can hit, as well as the ability to produce points! I'm a setter/opposite hitter! I get called to play middle because of my height sometimes and it is definitely a big job

[@tyingceling6830]

It’s so true as a outside hitter I wish I would be a setter

[@zutapi]

I agree with the setter score... all else could be different. But hey, we all have our point of view. For example: in the 9 years I have been coaching we have been lacking on opposite hitters... then your score falls into place. This year however we have a machine!!! Tall, athletic, wicked serves and above all super effective opposite hitter! Importance to the game?!?! 10 out of 10 now! That guy hits like Bartosz Kurek. I guess you haven't played with someone like that before?! It really changes your game... opens up the court for the setter on both ends of the net. But, I guess every team needs to find their strategy!

[@Harper-z3k]

I love being a middle but honestly it’s annoying when I’m stuck with a biased setter who only ever sets her friends but we aren’t friends so I’m never getting set unless it’s practice or warmups and coach has a say in who gets set

[@kentonanami01]

ok i LOVE being a libero because i enjoy wasting my energy on saving the ball. And i get to do that a lot cuz my team does nothing but hit balls out of the court. (guys im being extra a ball only goes out once every two games so don't dis me) but i do get SUPER tired after a game. i really like that feeling i get when i save a ball that went really far like i get goosebumps it makes me so happy and then i get all the cudos afterwards 😚

[@eduardomerino3677]

Outside and backup setter

[@simonistda1363]

I agree with ur rating, but I want to say, that for me (as a setter) I think, that it can be really frustrating if u give perfect sets and the attacker just messes it, or if u have a really bad defense and u always beed to run ir even dive

[@WarnerAngeloBarrinuevo]

Fun fact: outside spiker is also called “Wing Spiker”.

[@rainytempest3137]

As a middle blocker I kinda wanna be a libero

[@HYPA3E]

libero is so accurate. atm im a libero but its my dream to play outside.

[@tomlaureys1734]

Let me spoil it for anybody who reads the comments before watching the video. Setter. This person controls the game and sets up the hitters to score the points. He is like the quarterback on a football team, the point guard on a basketball team, and the catcher on a baseball team. Now I will watch the video and see if he says the same position.

[@N8Editz]

I hate people who blame setters, I’m grateful for getting any set good or bad 😢

[@amelia_fdo]

setter as well!

[@filmedbyhadzz]

OUTSIDE HITTERRRR 🔛🔝 ‼️‼️

[@Luni-th7cn]

receiving for me is really fun but only if I can see clearly its hard to play sports without glasses especially volleyball cause predicting the direction of the ball is hard if you cant see the spiker's follow through, astigmatism heredity is not enjoyable

[@Themightyfrogwizard]

I Guess im an anomaly or exception. When I came to volleyball practice for the first time, I fell in love with serving and I fell hard, I’ve wanted to be a serving specialist from the start and I find it really fun. So there you go.

[@sarafatima5404]

I used to be serving specialist but now I am outside hitter😂

[@irohsprodigy]

oh this guy is on his content creation grind... i like it

[@mongkochang7864]

Middle blocker the moment when u shut down the enemy the best feeling ever

[@Idontknow-xxxx]

As a libero idc abt getting hit because i absolutely love playing it its so funnnn i wouldnt change if for no positions

[@Kellah_Rae.Volleyball]

I absolutely love libero! Ur not wrong tho every libero I talk to wishes they were a tall outside!😂
