Gonna be interesting to see what that does with emerick. Her BF is not playing at UT now and will head to minors. Elliot burned her shirt. Kinda sucks for the kid if she wants to play.

Will likely be behind now both Gary and incoming Krueger, which is a stout back row.

We need the best backrow players on the court.

Emerick will have a year of collegiate experience over incoming freshman Krueger...so if she is good enough, she will see the court since we'll be utilizing the 3 defensive "littles" again.

Honestly even if we don't get Stafford, I think we'll still be pretty strong at the pins with Whitney, Devin, Cari, and AVW. 

The ball control was really the issue with the pins, but getting Gary has definitely alleviated some of the concerns.

The biggest issue next season IMO is improving Ella's setting to all the hitters, especially to the MBs.

Krueger is the top libero in the class. Will be hard to beat her out as the second DS

But it also means we are now hiring a new "defensive coordinator" because the USAWNT schedule conflicts with the NCAA women's volleyball schedule. 

So curious who it will be.  Erik has been here 14 seasons.

Is he resigning from Texas, then?

Yes.  He'd be gone from the program for months at a time, it's pretty impossible to do both.  VNL starts in June 2025.

Texas Volleyball Associate Head Coach Erik Sullivan has been named the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, USA Volleyball announced on Monday. The search for Sullivan's replacement will begin immediately.

Need a coach that can continue the MBU legacy (especially in blocking) and improve backrow defense/ball control. 

If s/he can also coach up setting technique, I'd be ecstatic.

Hunt is the setting coach. RBC does serve receive and passing

Yeah, I know Sullivan was in charge of scouting opposing offenses and setting up schemes for the block and backrow defense. So whoever is hired will have similar responsibilities.

Just would be an added bonus if that person also had actual experience in improving setting and ball control techniques.
