I'll never hate on Parra and she's the first ever back-to-back AVCA Player of the Week

She's thriving at TCU.  A reminder that Elliot didn't recruit over here until after Parra made her intention to leave known.  Madi was brought in to replace Fields and play alongside Eggleston.  Parra just did not beat out Madi, played as a serving specialist, and left after the 2022 title game, at which point, we went out and got Jenna. 

Just because some people assume we picked Jenna over Parra or recruited over Parra.

So this is our first 6-2 offense since 2009. I guess Skinner is asked to play the role of Destinee Hooker.

Might as well do it. Not sure this team is winning a title with a 5-1.  Just do it.

Texas ran a “modified” 6-2 with Collins and Dalton 10 years ago

Hell of an ass whooping. Will be interesting to see what JE does with the lineup going forward. Worked well tonight.

Stick with it, IMO. Get more time comfortable with it

The only thing I don't like about the 6-2 is the lack of Akana except late in matches, like set 3. 

I guess she can come in and serve if someone is struggling, but we are currently using our best 6 server rotation in this format - Madi, Swindle, Jenna, Halter, Ames and Carlson.

Elliot may flip flop between Devin/Whitney when Rutherford comes off the court in the double sub for a while until someone grabs the job - Devin was 5-2-19 and Whitney was 0-1-3 last night.  Unless he was just trying to see what the 6-2 looked like with Whitney on the court as the second OPP. 

Overall, not a bad night, but Mari is still so rough offensively.  But she had 8 blocks! 

RR 11-2-17, .529
Madi 14-4-24, .417
Jenna 6-2-20, .300
Ames 3-1-9, .222
Mari 5-3-14, .143
Devin 5-2-19, .158
Whitney 0-1-3, -0.333

I know the no-double rule on second contact is a thing, but Elliot needs to keep Emma bump setting.  She has no much experience with Jenna/Madi bump-setting them and her hand sets are not great.  Akana is a better hand setter, Emma is a better bump setter
