  1. When you look back at last year it's actually incredible we made an elite 8 due to injuries. Booker was the starting PG but she's a 3 or 4. Shaylee is more of a wing than guard. We essentially had 1 guard last year in Shaylee and she has average to below average athleticism. Somehow Vic turned a roster with 1 guard (who is athletically limited) into an elite 8 team. I hope Vic can just figure out the injuries because I think he's an incredible coach. I'm not sure another coach in the country could have got last year's team to an elite 8.
  2. #4 in the SEC standings now which would get us a 1st round bye in the SEC tournament to the quarterfinals.
  3. The big thing with Kent (like Jabari Rice) is he was undervalued in the portal rankings because he didn't produce much in his first few years. But I don't view that as a bad thing when a player improves every year. Some guys just take 3 or 4 years to reach their ceiling at this level.
  4. They should be cautious with Rori. We only play 1 or 2 teams with a pulse in non-conference.
  5. There are holes in other spots but the biggest issue remains middles. We needed to add an experienced middle from the portal. Singletary is good defensively (at times) but other than that we aren't getting much of anything from our middles.
  6. Serve receive still bad. We haven't been in system much at all this match.
  7. We haven't challenged them from the service line yet on this set.
  8. Can't just keep floating balls over at the service line. Take a swing.
  9. Very conservative serve by Swindle. We haven't served well either in this one.
  10. Too cute tonight. On a night like this where you are off you have to feed Skinner. We aren't doing it.
  11. Serve receive just hasn't been good enough tonight.
  12. I get spreading it around but 21 attempts for Skinner, 20 for Devin, 16 for Jenna, and 15 for Rutherford. I don't like this type of distribution when Skinner is hitting .524.
  13. Still not sure why we aren't setting Skinner more.
  14. Biggest issue this match is serve receive.
  15. We're making this too difficult. Skinner has 11 kills on 19 swings. Like last year, this is the time of the year when you just have to ride your best player. Set her until teams can stop her.
  16. I think we've become a bit too worried about spreading it around. Skinner is hitting .529. Set her until they can stop her.
  17. I think playing on the road can be advantageous if you advance. There's a comfort in playing at home and it's a completely new environment playing on a neutral/road court. Those Tennessee and Stanford matches were good for us last year.
  18. Completely different positions but I view Kent much like Jabari Rice. Good at everything and got better every year in college.
  19. I think it's going to be tough keeping Kent out of the starting lineup but obviously a difficult decision with Kaluma. Also, I think that's why we will go small a lot at the 5. I would much rather see minutes with Kaluma at the 5 than Onyema.
  20. @Derkawhat's your guess on the starting 5?
  21. I think Kent will be the player that surprises the most people. Based on everything I've read so far, he's really good.
  22. No volleyball expert but hitting % is also drastically overrated. We hit .260 and .270 in last year's national semis and finals. It didn't matter because of how we served and played defensively. I think the big turning point with Elliott was realizing that there's much more to winning titles than just prioritizing terminal players. Serving and defense is what got us over the hump.
