Now that Paulina Prieto is coming to Texas My starting lineup: OH1: Eckerman OH2: Baker MB1: Chi MB2: McCage OPP1: Prieto OPP2: Bell Setters: Collins and Dalton Libero: McCoy Setters for OPPs and hopefully the OHs can play all 6 rotations if not DS Brooks for Baker. Texas should form the best lineup than any other team IMO Prieto is not playing OPP. If anything, Baker is better suited for that position but the only place she'll be starting this year is on the bench. OH1: Eckerman OH2: Prieto MB1: Ogbogu MB2: McCage OPP: Bell S: Collins L: McCoy Agreed on Baker

Your MSU roster is a damn mess. lol, agree. And everyone needs to stop hyping up Goehner. Ayyeee... Took a shot there and failed. What I do know: Minarick should start instead of Peterson, Moster will be the libero (obviously) and Reinig and Galloway will be 2/3 pin hitters, although Reinig will be only playing 3 rotations. I can't remember if Fitterer is a middle or a RS, and I'm not sure about the MB/RS spots... So that's where I got super lost! As for hyping up Goehner, I don't know why I wouldn't? She deserves every bit of the hype, and even at 5'10, I'm confident she has the arm and jumping ability paired with her passing and defense to make her a nice OH2 right away. She's played against big physical teams and had success time and time again... Not sure where your comment came from. I'd like to hear what your thinking though!

Then why did you even try if you know NOTHING about the program or athletes...?

OH1: Eckerman OH2: Prieto MB1: Ogbogu MB2: McCage OPP: Bell S: Collins L: McCoy Agreed on Baker Interesting to see that a couple of you think Baker is better suited on the RS. Just curious, but why so? From what I've seen and read, Tiffany has primarily played on the LS during her time at Tennessee and on the USA A2 in 2012. I believe that's where she has been training since arriving at Texas. Prieto may be most comfortable hitting on the left pin, but if she is the best hitter on the squad from the RS, I would think that's where she'll first start.

If you don't discuss things you aren't as knowledgable about, then you can't learn. Try to be nice and stop being another Internet "tough guy" for once. Oh, and Kori Moster is going to be the Libero, Galloway, Reinig, and Fitterer are all going to be in the rotation, and Halle Peterson is going to keep missing serves. So at least I don't know NOTHING.

Being a senior who has started in the past doesn't assure her anything. Her passing is good but it really doesn't separate her from holly tolliver, and Tolliver brings a lot more to the court.

It's fun reading the posts of those who soo strongly believe they know something that their opinion is all that matters. I like your opinions Sports most look to be based on first hand knowledge and sound reasoning.

Love the different possibilities. Assuming no significant injuries and everyone is healthy from day one, I definitely think Texas starts the season running a 6-2 offense.
OH1: Haley Eckerman OH2: Tiffany Baker MB1: Khat Bell MB2: Chiaka Ogbogu OPP1: Molly McCage OPP2: Paulina Prieto Setters: Chloe Collins and Nicole Dalton Libero: Cat McCoy DS: Khat Brooks and Amy Neal
I thought about Dalton playing all 6-rotations, and setting only from the back row in 3 rotations while hitting from the right side in the other 3 rotations (like Engle did), but I think the wear and tear and numerous responsibilities will be too much as she returns to the court after last season's medical redshirt.
Would really like to see Texas set the right-side hitters much more this season; and, would like to see the pin hitters move around and hit from both sides occasionally. That type of distribution and variety is what I really envied about Penn State's offense.

I like your opinions Sports most look to be based on first hand knowledge and sound reasoning. I respect that! I try mostly to stick to talking about what I'm knowledgable about, but I wanted to take a gander at Michigan State just because I like State and I'm interested in their team even though I don't know a ton about how their lineup will shape-up this year. I learned!

Could easily be Tolliver instead. I just have a feeling that Kathy George will go with the senior with experience ahead of a freshman. The only freshmen who I think will be in the main rotation are Minarick and Garvelink. But lineups are fluid. Things change!

Not only is she better than Baker, she's a better passer than your DSs.

Not only is she better than Baker, she's a better passer than your DSs. My opinion is based on Baker having played on the left side while at Tennessee, where I believe she played all 6-rotations her sophomore year (not sure about her freshman season). While I didn't watch a lot of her matches with the Vols, I don't recall her ever hitting from the right side; that doesn't mean she didn't, or can't. As for Prieto, I know I saw her hitting from the right side against Texas in Austin; she also hit from the left side, but pretty sure she was playing Opposite (while Ariel was taking it slow due to injury). Thought she had a very solid approach hitting from the right side, and looked very comfortable there. Probably better hitting from that side than any returning Texas player, although Pilar does look comfortable there. Not sure who between Prieto and Baker is the better blocker, but whoever is would be my preference to match up against the opponents OHs.

Not sure who between Prieto and Baker is the better blocker, but whoever is would be my preference to match up against the opponents OHs. To my recollection, that is the only match she played as OPP. I'd argue blocking is much more important to RS than hitting. Hitters are most often cleaning up the junk. You want someone who can terminate, but much more important to have a solid blocker in that position.

It's probably harder to predict this year with all the young unproven talent.
