  1. If Autumn and Claire can hold up in serve-receive, we may have a chance...they have served us off the court the past 2 years.

    And we've really struggled hitting against those 6'6-6'7 Trees...

    Kentucky takes set 1.  Not what I was looking for tonight.

     

    I don't think we're as mentally weak as we have been in past years, probably just youth.

    Youth definitely in the front row with Logan, Brionne, and Luketic.

    But back row of Autumn and Hahn is still weak....they can't read hitters and are still too inconsistent with serve-receive. 

  3. Elliott needs to let Logan gain experience in the back row by letting her play there instead of Rounsaville.  

    And Jhenna needs to play in Hahn’s spot.

    Neither of those DS’s are putting up decent dig numbers or passing consistently enough to be in the starting lineup IMO. 

    I really want to like Shook but she is the weakest setter on a top 10 team.  Her out-of-system setting needs lots of work. Unfortunately, we have no other options at that position...unless Elliott decides to pick up a transfer setter in the off-season.

    We've had some talented rosters but I don't think anything compares to what we could have next year. 

    SR: White (#4 ranked recruit), Agbaji (was a top 5 recruit)

    JR: Shook (#6 ranked recruit)

    So: Eggleston (not sure where she ended up in the '18 rankings but would have been the top recruit in '19), Butler (#2 ranked recruit), O'Neal (#2 ranked recruit/under the assumption she doesn't RS), Luketic (international player but is obviously talented after watching her this past weekend). 

    FR: Fields (#1 ranked recruit), Phillips (#16 ranked recruit and she's undervalued there). 

    We are absolutely stacked at the pins/middles. For the next 2 or 3 years we're going to be playing almost entirely top 5 recruits at the pins/middle. Toughest job for Elliott next year is going to be figuring out rotations when you have Luketic, White, Eggleston and Fields. 

     

     

    Would both Fields and Phillips be willing to red-shirt next season? 

    Micaya, Logan, and Kat are going to be lethal at the pins next season with another year of experience under their belts.

    But would the #1 recruit want to ride the pine? I think maybe if Elliott can convince her to focus an entire year on her passing (which is her weakest skill).

    And I presume Molly would RS as well, but may not see any meaningful playing time until her Jr year when Butler will have graduated .

     

  5. Skylar Field is ranked the #1 player in the country for the class of 2019.

    Logan would have probably benn ranked #1 if she didn't reclassify.  

    Molly Phillips came in at #16, but most believe she is the best MB in the class.

    General admission tickets are still available on-line at Texassports.com.  There will probably also be ticket scalpers outside the gym.

  7. Addition by subtraction with Lexi...if she and her dad were that much of problem last year, glad they are gone!

    Logan stepped up with her serving and was swinging more freely by the end of the match.

    Kat is a smart hitter as is Micaya.

    Morgan and Brionne are just going to get better with their blocking.

    Shook...she had moments where I saw improvement, but last year's version crept up during the match.   Unfortunately, we are going to live or die by her setting...
