  1. 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.
  2. Shook getting too predictable and going to Luketic who gets dug up twice in a row.... Tx drops the 1st set 27-25.
  3. These girls are not mentally strong...making stupid mistakes when they have the lead. And of course Autumn shanks the pass giving Kentucky set point.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 .
  6. 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.
  7. General admission tickets are still available on-line at Texassports.com. There will probably also be ticket scalpers outside the gym.
  8. Yes, 3-0

  10. 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...
  11. Fuck yeah! Way to go Ladies!
  12. Stupid freshman mistakes! C'mon Jhenna, can't let a free ball fall to the floor
  13. WTF? Claire can't serve it in....Autumn can't pass....that's your fucking job. And Riley can't serve it in..
  14. Claire and Autumn can't read the hitters worth shit. I'd rather have Jhenna back there than either one of them.
  15. Shook's sets are all over the place. And she's going to Kat too much IMO
  16. Logan needs to get out of her funk
  17. Fuck yeah Brionne! Solo block against the 6'7 tree.
  18. Score is now on the feed. Micaya being targeted on serve-receive and not handling it well. TO TX.
  19. Live stream at Huskers.com
  20. It'd be nice to see us come out with a win against FL. Morgan and Brionne are going to need to step up their blocking against FL's hitters.
  21. I really thought a lot of her poor setting was due to the piss-poor passing.... I don't think Shook was able to put up consistent out-of-system balls to the left pin because the passes were soooo far off the net. Shook eventually developed a good connection with Chiaka, but I think a lot of it had to do with Chi being so athletic and able to adjust to her sets. Right pin setting was always a struggle...Ebony needed a particular set to actually do damage to the ball...Yaazie did as well....and the constant switching of those 2 players in the beginning of the season never allowed her to develop a good connection with either IMO. We will find of out soon whether it's better passing that improves her setting or if it's a year of experience....or hopefully both.
  22. I mean, it has to, right?
  23. Another new recruit on board for this season ... 6'2 Opp Katarina Luketic from Croatia. Should be interesting to see how the line-up plays out... I just want ball control and serving to be improved this year!
  24. If Logan didn't reclassify, the 2019 class would have definitely been ranked #1. Molly Phillips will be a blocking machine...she will remind fans of Molly McCage. Phillips has played every position in the front row and has even passed the ball in serve-receive in both HS/Club ball. It will be interesting to see how she gets worked into the line-up with both Butler and O'Neal in front of her. But I can see Phillips red-shirting her freshman year (2019) and then having the options to play Butler, O'Neal, and Phillips at MBs/Opp in 2020. Skylar Fields (aka Baby Destinee Hooker) will be a high-flying attacker/blocker on the pins. I think she will slide into Yaazie's position on the right pin next year (since Micaya and Logan will be the left pin hitters). Skylar looks more comfortable hitting on the LS, but she is developing nicely into an Opp with USA volleyball. Both Skylar and Molly will both be coming in as good servers. Logan may eventually develop into one of the best 6-rotation players under Elliott. If she has a weakness right now, I would say it is her blocking. But we really do need her on the team this year. She's going to add the ball control and serving the team was missing last year IMO. Team serving will also be upgraded with Jhenna and Sydney's serves. I foresee Jhenna and Sydney playing ahead of Rounsaville and Hahn this season. I'm really looking forward to seeing this team play in the fall.
