  1. Wow...big pick up for the 2022 class! We got Devin Kahahawai!
  2. It's either gonna catch up to them or make them more confident in grinding out wins...
  3. WTF Texas!
  4. There ya go Molly!
  5. It's gonna be interesting to see if Elliott sticks with her or goes with another setter with a week off and then entering the conference schedule. I think Gabriel brings the emotional leadership intangible that Shook lacked and most often than not she knows how to set her hitters. I just wonder how the players will react if they have to adjust to a new setter. But it'd be nice to have a bigger setter block that doesn't get abused.
  6. At least Butler looks more confident hitting the ball for the first time this season..
  7. Yeah, not a good sign when our Libero's serve receive breaks down at the end of the set...
  8. Passing/ball control is much better today and we are able to run Butler.
  9. Until we get another Defensive coach to replace Sullivan, who can also convince Jerritt to change his coaching philosophy on passing/ball control, I'm not holding my breath...
  10. The 2022 class has: L/DS - Halter 5'4 (who is ranked the #1 Indiana recruit by some recruiting services) MB - Singletary 6'4 OH - Miller 6'0 * Getting 6'3 Kahahawai would be icing on the cake. I can see her playing as a 6-rotation Opp next season, with Molly moving back to MB when Butler graduates. Texas gained some serious height on the front line with the 2023 class: S - Swindle 6'2 MB - Bunton 6'4 (from 2021 USA U18 training roster; Bunton has been listed anywhere from 6'2-6'5, depending on the recruiting service, but some of those services haven't updated heights from when they were ranked ~ 2 years ago.) OPP & Lefty - Tomkinson 6'4 OH - Helmers 6'3
  11. Gabriel's setting is good when she doesn't have to run set...but with the way Iosia, Logan, Parra, and Petersen were passing and digging up balls tonight, her setting was trash. This is where this team is sorely missing Morgan O'Brien - she was able to consistently dig up a ball right to target, where Gabriel didn't have to move. This is taught, that's why we see PAC 12/BIG liberos have excellent ball control. Jerritt teaches them to just dig a hard-driven ball up off the net (even if it puts the team out-of-system) to give the setter an opportunity to just throw it up to the left pin hitter. That's been his system and why he needs high-flying jumpers on the left pin.
  12. Texas doing Texas things (poor ball control)
  13. Saige KT is finally on the roster! Setter position just got more interesting this season. I'm hoping it will be healthy competition that propels the team chemistry forward and not backwards....
  14. Glad for the win, but passing, setting, and serving need to improve.
  15. Ball hit the antennae first before hitting MN player...so MN
  16. Love Molly's shot selection...just wish she could hit with more power.
  17. The MN libero is picking up everything
  18. I'm pretty sure she was the #1 setter in her class. She enrolled early in the Spring 2020 to get a head start, but then the pandemic happened. Then she was injured all last Fall, and played sparingly last Spring...
  19. She's setting better this year and offers a better block at the net, but she's still slow getting her feet to the ball when setting and her floor defense is meh. I think she's gonna be Shook 2.0
  20. Not sure if a 6-2 would be ideal. Need really good passing from Parra and Logan all 6 rotations for it to work effectively.
  21. Baylor last week. And Baylor got smoked by Wisconsin afterwards.
  22. Gabriel's setting location has been questionable since the start of the season. I'm really hoping Saige gets to play this year.
  23. Logan just destroyed that ball!
  24. These service errors are killing me
  25. Iosia makes great saving plays...but her passing technique isn't that great. And Elliot isn't known for developing Liberos.
