  1. Parra and Fields playing all 6 rotations, with Fields at Opposite. 

    At least Elliott is trying new things....but they aren't executing at all.

    I'd like to see Saige at setter though if they are going to shake things up like this..

  2. Passing was great today and they got the middles involved early...Bri led all players in kills.  When was the last time a middle led the team in kills in a match??? Team was focused and took care of business today!

  3. Also add in the front row player heights of the 2022 Class: 

    MB - 6'4 Marianna Singletary

    OH/OPP - 6'4 Devin Kahahawai (She looks like she has grown when standing next to team members on the U18 team that recently took bronze at the World Championship)

    OH - 6'0 Kenna Miller

    Texas will be good upfront for years to come.....now if we could only improve our ball control....🙃

    This L’vile squad is so good. Just swept Corn in Lincoln 

    For how much crap I give Elliott about not developing perfect passing and ball control players, I really appreciate his ability to develop OHs that can put the ball away with out-of-system sets.

    Nebraska fans are blaming the passing and setting for their losses, but in reality both are actually decent (compared to what Texas is currently showing).  What's holding them back is their lack of a terminal hitters who can go up against a double block and still get a kill.  A team like Nebraska relies too much of being in-system for their offense to have any success. 

    I do think there has to be a balance between the two.... I just think when Texas is in-system, we are more difficult to stop especially since the left pin hitters can bail us out on out-of-system plays.  It would be nice if Molly could develop her OOS game on the right pin so that we aren't so predictable in setting the left in those situations.

    Glad SKT got some playing time but her sets late in the third were abysmal and predictable a bit. Idk. 

    Backrow attack set to Eggleston looked too high from what Jhenna has been setting.  The slide attack to Asjia was more Asjia's fault b/c she wasn't expecting it.  The set to Skylar went behind her.   So yeah, just no timing in general with her and the hitters right now.  If SKT is in, she should just set nice controlled balls to the left pin for Skylar to  go up and get...

    Our middles want to touch every ball and really fuck our defense sometimes.  Someone is coming to dig it behind them and either isn’t communicating or idk and they stab at it 

    Yeah, that's been bothering me the past couple of matches...if they are going to do that, at least bump it high and into the court.
