I saw online that Lauren Beard has committed to UT and will be here next year. Haven't seen any confirmation, other than her twitter, but if its true there will be another DS/L on the team

Read in the paper today that recruit Westerlund is injured. Anyone know the type of injury and seriousness?

Amy Neal profile.
This is good. Especially like the players talking about their club days with Amy.

Texassports.com has a nice profile on Molly McCage. Texas is 2nd in the nation in blocking, lead by McCage. She's such a hard worker and has been great for the team. Enjoy! "National champion. AVCA All-America Honorable Mention selection. All-Big 12 First Team choice. Big 12 All-Freshman Team selection. Number 1 high school recruit in the nation. Two-time captain of the United States Girls' Youth National Team that won gold in 2010. High school All-American. After reading junior middle blocker Molly McCage's accolades, one would think she's loved volleyball her entire life, but that's not the case. In fact, McCage hated the sport when she first started playing. "I was terrible," McCage said. "I was really bad. I begged my dad not to take me to practice. I wanted to be on the B team, because I thought I wasn't good enough."

For me, she is a good example of a top player from high school / club who has been able to develop at the right pace to become a top college volleyball player.
With Eckerman and Bell gone next year, we'll need more from Molly on offense. I think she will do it.

No matches for 9 days. Why the delay? We're not over the limit are we? Could we have tried to schedule something?

Seems like we have played about 4 matches less than most other teams. The upcoming matches against the Chinese squad don't count for RPI purposes. Sure hope the lack of overall matches doesn't end up hurting our RPI.

Sure hope the lack of overall matches doesn't end up hurting our RPI. I think Texas usually plays less matches each season than many teams. Texas did not play in a 4th tournament this season like many teams do.
The quirkiness of the Big 12 schedule may be due to only having 9 schools playing volleyball.

I can honestly say that I hope its a texas vs stanford championship, that way I won't be mad if any team wins.

After watching the Wisky v. Minn. match last night I imagined what it would have been like to have Carlini as the setter for Texas last year and this year. I think Texas would be looking at several National Championships. Oh well, it is nice to imagine seeing Eckerman, Bell, Chi, McCage, all getting set with one on one opportunities.

I think Texas would be looking at several National Championships. Oh well, it is nice to imagine seeing Eckerman, Bell, Chi, McCage, all getting set with one on one opportunities. Wisconsin is the real deal this season, they are a great team, loads of talent. Carlini is wonderful in every aspect of the sport and puts a beautiful ball up from anywhere. I watched that match _WI vs MN and wow, they impressed, MN fought hard at the end but WI won it. They will be an assured contender for Oklahoma City, and what an accomplishment to win it. Of course they will have to play just as well if not better to win, but they will get even better and that's scary to me. If Carlini chose Texas, she'd be a huge play maker. I wish Wisconsin all the luck to stay healthy and play hard and may the best team win it all, of course my friends and I will be in OKC to watch the showdown, it's always fun to be surrounded with people of the same liking. Great job to Wisconsin. Texas Washington Penn State Wisconsin Florida State Stanford All legit shots at winning , I can't wait to see the seeding and the matches! We still have a ton of season to play, but I'm excited.

I'd substitute Florida for Florida State in the above list.

What is going on with Eckerman? Her stats aren't that great.
