  1. Logan is more consistent on the back row. Skinner can get rattled on serve receive which seems to effect the rest of her game.
  2. I think Worthy's biggest problem is his seemingly inability to adjust to the ball in the air. He's a great athlete so usually that's not a problem for someone of his caliber. It's really kind of strange, it comes across as a lack of effort sometimes, although I'm not sure that's really the problem. He almost looks kind of awkward when he tries to adjust. Anyway, we need to keep recruiting some stud receivers.
  3. Pass defense is so bad…I would throw on every down if I was playing against this D.
  4. They had one holding call on their first drive and it was declined…not sure why because it might have taken them out of field goal range. No trust in the D, probably the right decision.
  5. They needed to quit serving Duckworth. She was nails on serve receive all night. Try someone else.
  6. Why does Elliot sub servers at match point???
  7. Off tonight. Lots of tips. Serve receive rears its ugly head. Logan seems a bit off.
  8. Maybe get Milton more involved as well. He made a helluva catch on the sidelines in that last 21 second drive.
  9. I don't see a big difference between Caffey and Bergmark. Caffey is certainly the better athlete but she is shorter than Bergmark and likely not quite as effective blocking. I think Bergmark is better on the slide and Caffey is better on the quicks and middle sets in general. The thing about Caffey is she can get really heat up and bring some energy when she starts hammering the quicks. However, against a good blocking team, they will start timing up the block on the quicks which can limit Caffey's offense a bit. They both have the strengths and weaknesses and I personally like the energy Caffey brings. It's nice to have those 2 as options.
  10. The quick to Caffey is lethal. Texas has rarely run quicks with the middles for several years now. Never understood it, but now that Caffey is playing they’ve started running them. Even some with O’Neal. There hard to stop when run correctly.
  11. Minny is playing fast. Block is consistently late when Minny is in system.
  12. Looked pretty strong overall. Still need some work on middle opposite of O’Neal.
  13. I guess, if you say so. But isn't he pretty similar to Ethan Burke in terms of size and weight. Watching the two play last year Vasek was every bit as good if not better than Burke, and looked a little bigger or at least not as skinny. If there's better options than I get it but if not, seems like a pretty good take.
  14. And that neatly sums up what's it all about to be an aggie. They are the undisputed national champions of, delusions of grandeur.
  15. Is that 3rd time in row Faltine has watched strike 3?
  16. I bought a new car in Dallas about a month ago. After I finished the deal I asked the finance guy how business was going since things have changed. He said they were selling a little more than half the amount of cars (pre-Covid) but were making more money. Charging full MSRP, no negotiating. Also, almost all of the dealerships are putting on a bunch of after market crap and making ridiculous profits off of that stuff. This is what really pisses me off. I mean, Nitrogen in the tires $300, door guards (cheap tape) probably cost them $10/car, $300; Lojack systems you can buy for $50 using an app on your phone, $900, window tinting, etc... It's ridiculous what they are getting away with right now. He thought they would never go back to the old sales model. Why would they, there making more money and the sales are much easier. Shitty for the consumer though.
  17. "I'm a little teapot short and stout here is my handle here is my spout..."
  18. He's plenty athletic. He's shown a few glimpses of it during the season. He's just not playing with any aggression on offense, or at least very rarely.
  19. Yeah I don't know about that. You see lots of freshman, first year guys, show up ready to go with no hesitation whatsoever. He's still shell shocked on offense, it's pretty obvious by all the shots he passes up. When and if it clicks with him, it will be easy to see. And I definitely think he has time for that to happen.
  20. He played at a Mater Dei high school in California so a pretty big time program. I guess he left early to go to Kentucky. His numbers for his Junior year in hs were pretty solid but nothing exceptional (16 ppg and about 6 apg). He's smooth and a good athlete so I'm sure he projected quite well for the college level. It's all in his head. He's afraid of making a mistake on offense which takes away aggression and confidence. That's why he is playing hot potato when he has the ball. I mean, mentally he just wasn't ready for the jump to big time D1 basketball. The bigger question is, can he get past it. I think he can, but if it takes him too long he's going to get passed up. I'm betting Beard will be patient with him and it will pay off down the road.
  21. I've seen Morris play. He's an athletic freak with a ton of upside, but his overall game still needs plenty of development. Carr has his issues but his overall game is still ahead of Morris's IMO. Morris brings a little different skill set than Carr so it's not apples to apples. I don't know what people's expectations are in regard to Morris but I don't see him coming in and immediately taking Carr's spot, assuming Carr comes back next year. He'll obviously play a ton and will be fun to watch.
  22. I think this is definitely it for Askew. You can tell that he is not looking for offense or to score when he has the ball, unless he has absolutely no choice. As soon as he touches the ball he's looking to pass or to dribble to pass. Some how Beard has to get him to be a more selfish offensive, attacking player. I think he has the skill set he just has to get over the mental hump.
