I didnāt want to play Nebraska until Knuckles went out for the season. Seeing their below-average serve/receive and passing vs Wisc and Minn changed my mind. (I bet Cook really misses Akana now!) Nevertheless, I donāt think Nebraska will make it to Omaha. I hoping for a dump of ticket sales for the Final Four.
Agree with all of that. With Nebraska losing twice this weekend, they can see the arguments to send them either here or to send them to Louisville. Watching some VB this past week, I would NOT want to run into UCF as #16. They seem very dangerous with Melville.
Forgot to add⦠as the title of this yearās topic says, we are completely stacked! I do not envy JE having to decide on starters, when to substitute and with whom.
Yes, I went. This is a pretty accurate summary, with some comments below. Also see @nellynelās player-by-player summary on VT. Setter: Ewert did very well. With so many changes to each side after each set, I couldnāt tell if she benefited from better passing vs SKT. But yes, itās possible Ewert gets the starting nod. Passing/Serve-Receive: looked much better than last year. Every L/DS played both positions and all had decent playing time (except for maybe Heinrich?) Fleck looked great. Halter had some fantastic digs. Overall passing and SR seemed to degrade with each set though. (could be all of the lineup and side changes with each set) Parra did VERY well at OH. Kahahawai is the real deal. OāNeal/Bergmark as MBs to start the year is almost certain, but I donāt think it will take long for Caffey to jump in. She had a couple of great plays without getting a lot of sets. I wouldnāt be surprised if Singletary RSād. Despite the explicit PA announcements not to video the scrimmage, someone on VT did. They were going to upload it somewhere.
Coming out of hibernation since December⦠what did I miss? [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Just kidding. I would occasionally remember to lurk through the 20,836 pages of āTexas 2022ā on VT. Looking forward to Sunday!
Iām pretty sure that GIF of her conversation with Elliott during the regional final (Nebraska) was on her radar. There are a couple of Texas supporters on VT that can be pretty harsh. But yes, Texas gets a lot of hate on there and Jhenna was a target for a lot of it. Iām really sad sheās leaving. She was a positive intangible that will be hard to replace. She deserves a ton of respect, and I wish her nothing but the best.
Two years. (Covid year) One rumor is that Madi Skinner will join her at USC. Also, being in LA is a draw for some. Asjia said she was jealous of her being in LA. (The team was very supportive of her on IG.)
https://lsusports.net/news/2021/12/22/tonya-johnson-comes-home-to-lead-lsu-volleyball-program/ BATON ROUGE, La. ā Tonya Johnson, who helped LSU to a pair of Southeastern Conference titles and the 1990 Final Four as a player, is returning to her alma mater as head coach of the Tiger volleyball team, director of athletics Scott Woodward announced on Wednesday.
I like Iosia. I really hope she sticks around as DS. Losing the job to a libero from a National Championship final team (MOB), or to a Pac-12 libero of the year (Fleck) are not things to be ashamed about. Just think she needs more coaching and/or experience against teams with tough hitting. Also, Petersen actually did better as a DS than libero.
Corn, no. They are loaded at the pins. Plus their active fan base are not fans of her. (The latter is more observation.) For her to develop as a 6-rotation player as is reported, she would need a B1G school (not Corn), maybe Pac-12.
Yes it was (at least that was assumed publicly). But this transfer has the potential to be more damaging to the program and team chemistry. Hope Iām overthinking it.
