Dodson is the backup if Gneiting isn't able to come back from her mission in starting form. Assuming Heather is ready to go, Dodson moves back to #2 OH (where she played in HS). Ballard-Nixon is the other OH. Bower obviously is the setter. That leaves the opposite position, and you just got a 3 time all-american opposite transfer player from up the road. That's pretty much your team if everything goes well.

Madi Allen plays back row for the middles as Libero. Koerber will play her own back row rotation. What this move does is allow you to use a DS sub for Ballard-Nixon (and Dodson, but that's already a given) instead of putting Taylen in the back row and asking her to pass with the diminished lateral mobility she has with her repaired knee.

Livingston will probably see a significant decrease in her playing time compared to this past season. The biggest unknowns will be who gets back row rotation time for the OH spots when they rotate to the back row.
