    Wenaas is just….Elliot, come the fuck on

    7-0 run for Houston. Make that 8-0 and 25-17 UH

    1-1

    I have to imagine there were some promises made to Wenaas for her to transfer here...No way we get out of the regionals with her starting. 

    Elliott needs to put in Devin or burn Byrd's redshirt...hell, try Kenna Miller at this point...just go to the bench and develop them, if not for now then for next season.

    Wenaas makes too many mistakes that add up and puts the team in a hole. I think it's telling when even Ella has stopped setting her unless she really has no other option.

    How is Clarissa so bad at passing the ball

    That's been the schtick with Jerritt, doesn't prioritize on passing because he usually has the terminal hitters to put the ball down in out-of-system swings. But there's more parity and teams are developing better hitters.

    He doesn't coach them to pass with precision...just to get the ball up, especially on transition defense

  3. The biggest weaknesses that need to be addressed this week are serve-receive passing and production at the OH2 position (Wenaas' spot).

    Barnes was supposed to come and stabilize the backrow but she has progressively worsened each match (just my observation). Maybe it's because she is playing out of her natural left back (libero) position, but so far her ball control has been really streaky in both the middle and right back positions. And I think that has affected Akana from playing at a high level since she is now having to adjust to playing middle back, instead of her natural position at right back.

    If Barnes continues to struggle, I'd actually like to see Wenaas replace her and just focus on her backrow play. Then Byrd can rotate in and hit for her on the left pin when she rotates to the front row.  Byrd can provide the hitting production that the team desperately needs on the left pin, and Jenna can still be an offensive outlet attacking from the backrow if needed. Plus, this move would also allow Akana to play in her right back position. 

    I think this change can help stabilize the ball control issues. If not, then Air Byrd can just go up and attack the ball with whatever out-of-system set she gets. Either way, with her vertical jump and fast arm swing, she's going to be terminating the ball at a higher clip than what Wenaas has been producing at.
