No change in the flight of the ball...they can't overturn it

Agreed. I've watched for close to 20 years... don't understand how she's still in the starting line-up.

Can she officially transfer there?

Don't know why Jerriit and the coaches decided to go all-in on Wenaas this season...worst coaching decision ever

Wenaas is fuckin' terrible...

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.

Jerrit's an idiot... how is Devin supposed to gain any rhythm...Texas deserves to lose based on Elliott's coaching decisions

Don't know why they keep serving Parra...

Parra blocked touched it, then bumped it, and hit it...2 contacts in a row

I hope Devin transfers...fuck Elliott for putting Wenaas back in
-

I'd rather see Devin swing aggressively and miss than Jenna get blocked or just push it over

Should have gone after Sauer in the transfer portal over Wenaas

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.

Wenaas with an overpass and UH kill...please get her out.

Wenaas must be the BEST practice player to get the start...cuz she is terrible in-game.

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!

Wenaas needs to be pulled! Can’t pass, can’t hit.
-
2023 Texas Volleyball - Back to Back!
F’n ridiculous
-
2023 Texas Volleyball - Back to Back!
At least Wenaas is starting to swing hard...her finesse play isn't effective if she doesn't start off swinging hard each set...

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

Ella needs a lot of work

Can't believe how bad Barnes has been...she was touted as one of the best passers in the NCAA last year Wenaas is just terrible against good blocking teams...she can't hit out of system and the team can't pass

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.
