  1. Hell no! It is what it is at this point, but I don't want to Wenaas in the starting line-up next year. Jenna is who I thought she would be when she transferred in...she has skill but can never put it all together and play consistently at a high level. Next season, I hope Byrd displaces Jenna on the left pin. I'm in the camp that believes Devin is gone. She's going through the motions of being a good teammate on the sideline but she's completely checked out. If we're going to hit the portal, I'd honestly like to see Reagan Rutherford transfer in and start at Opposite. She may be on the shorter side at 6'0, but she has hops and is a terminal hitter on the right pin as a lefty. She was putting up 3.47 Kills/set and averaging 0.9 blocks/set (better than Molly's numbers) before getting injured this season. She can also potentially play 6-rotations since she was trained at Kentucky to play back-row defense, be in the passing lanes for a couple of rotations, and attack from the back-row. Plus, she can actually hit out-of-system high balls from the right pin which can help take some pressure off the left pins and make the offense less predictable. Averi Carlson would be nice to have as another quality scholarship setter on the squad and to give Ella some competition. But even without her, there will be 3 setters next year (Ella and walk-ons Marina Crownover and Rella Binney). But yeah, if Ella goes down for an extended period of time, we would be screwed. I think we are set at MB with Mari, Nya, and Ayden...it'll be a young group (unless we get an experienced grad transfer MB), so that's why we need terminal pin hitters next season so that the MBs can focus on blocking, since we'll probably see a significant drop-off in that part of our game. The team goes on their European summer trip next year after a semester of spring training. It'll be a good time for the team to get extra quality practice reps, and hopefully, we'll see an overall improvement in each player's skills.
  2. Nice block there Bella!
  3. Hit the damn ball Jenna!
  4. Let's keep it up...LFG Horns!
  5. Defense needs to defense.
  6. No change in the flight of the ball...they can't overturn it
  7. Agreed. I've watched for close to 20 years... don't understand how she's still in the starting line-up.
  8. Can she officially transfer there?
  9. Don't know why Jerriit and the coaches decided to go all-in on Wenaas this season...worst coaching decision ever
  10. Wenaas is fuckin' terrible...
  11. After watching that match, our biggest weaknesses compared to those two teams are the 3 rotation OH, right-side hitter, floor defense, and setter. Jenna/Devin just aren’t consistent terminal hitters. Molly needs a perfect, fast-tempo set to be effective. Their overall floor defense is light years ahead of ours. They are more organized, where we fall into moments looking like they are playing next to each other for the first time. And for how much Ella has improved, her set location and overall bettering-the-ball skills is still not there yet. Still a lot of matches to improve, but realistically a regional final may be this team’s highest potential…hopefully I’m wrong.
  12. Pass the ball, Texas!
  13. Jerrit's an idiot... how is Devin supposed to gain any rhythm...Texas deserves to lose based on Elliott's coaching decisions
  14. Don't know why they keep serving Parra...
  15. Parra blocked touched it, then bumped it, and hit it...2 contacts in a row
  16. I hope Devin transfers...fuck Elliott for putting Wenaas back in
  17. I'd rather see Devin swing aggressively and miss than Jenna get blocked or just push it over
  18. Should have gone after Sauer in the transfer portal over Wenaas
  19. 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.
  20. Wenaas with an overpass and UH kill...please get her out.
  21. Wenaas must be the BEST practice player to get the start...cuz she is terrible in-game.
  22. Granted it’s the end of the set, but he takes out our best scoring middle….yet he doesn’t take out the OH that’s bleeding points when she’s in….make it make sense to me!
  23. Wenaas needs to be pulled! Can’t pass, can’t hit.
  24. F’n ridiculous
  25. At least Wenaas is starting to swing hard...her finesse play isn't effective if she doesn't start off swinging hard each set...
