One moron says "depression" and now we have a rumor parasitically attached to Prieto through no fault of her own. I wish I was surprised.

You weren't attacking Paulina in any shape or form. But of course, there will be users on this site that will twist your words around enough to make it seem like you were. Just ignore those people. I'd like to get back to the subject of this thread which has been somewhat ignored the last few pages. Though, that was mostly my fault due to me responding to foolish comments. Anyways, a cruicial position Texas will need to find someone to fill for this season is the OH position that Webster had last year. Could Paulina possibly step up and fill this position? Webster was very effective last year and it's hard to tell whether or not Paulina (or really any OH player on the Texas roster) could stack up kills this season the way Webster did last season. But it's not as if Texas is really lacking in the offense side anyways with Eckermen, Bell, and Ogbogu. I really don't know the stats and all, but it seems like both Eck and Webster were less efficient last year, I'm assuming because of the lack of ball control. Hopefully we have better ball control and therefore an even more effective season than last. Eckerman and Webster were an unstoppable pair in 2012 but due to the trouble Texas had with ball control last season, I really didn't get to see the "Haley and Bailey" show in most games, like I did in almost every game in 2012. If Texas can figure out some way to have better ball control this season (the new libero recruit, maybe?) I think they may have a shot at another NCAA title.

MTC what do you really know? Nothing like ignorant individuals posting their thoughts on players and coaches on this board.. Just enjoy the gameā¦. MTC found this on former players.

I stand by what I said, "He isn't the best vb coach period." For Paulina's sake I hope I am wrong. Let's just see how this plays out.

you didn't attack the mental aspect of Paulina, you made a ridiculous comment about Jerrit that was totally baseless. You don't know Jerrit, have never been in the gym with Jerrit and have never spoken to a player who has, yet you make a comment about him not being a good coach for someone who may be sad or depressed? Not so fast my friend! You complain about others reading things into comments but let's look at this again. I said "Jerritt wasn't the best coach to go to" and you converted it to "him not being a good coach". I can read Jerritt's body language during matches and I just don't see him as a players' coach who can empathize. He appears to withdraw into his shell when problems arise. Salima was able to use one of her strengths to fill this need at Texas. In conclusion Jerritt's record proves he is a "good" coach but surely not the best. Now go pick on someone else for awhile. I need to get a drink. You just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.
Now he's not a players coach because of your ability to read his body language. Instead of your body language insights, how about some testimonials from his players (past or present) that can validate your insight? In the meantime,

I need to get a drink. First off, we aren't friends. Secondly I didn't convert him to not being a good coach, I didn't convert him to anything I defended the baseless comment that he wouldn't be a an empathetic coach or someone helpful to a player struggling, which of course was also baseless. You know NOTHING about Jerrit, you know NOTHING about how he relates to people, yet you make some inane comment about something you know nothing about? I wasn't "picking" on anyone I was defending someone you picked on. You bring up Salima who if you ever asked has the highest regard for Jerrit as a person. Your problem is you so desperately want to be a part of the conversation that you comment on things that you have no idea what you are talking about. The one thing we can agree on is that you need to get a drink.

Personally I don't think it makes someone a "weaker" person, but to compare it to the Flu is unfair, especially if the depression isn't related to something hormonal. Infectious diseases are NOT the same as socially induced illnesses (which depression largely is). Unfair to who?? Those with the flu? SO SORRY if I offended someone who has the flu for suggesting that depression is also an illness! Obviously I didn't say that depression is contagious? Other than that, they are both illnesses and both are not preventable. If you honestly are trying to say that it's unfair to compare the two because one is preventable and one is not, then you are the exact reason why there's such a negative stigma surrounding depression. What's next? You're going to tell me that since I'm gay, I don't qualify for protection from discrimination because it's not really the same as being black? It's unfair to make that comparison? That I shouldn't qualify as part of a group that deserves protection because it's seen by some as a conditional state, not hereditary? You're gross.

Well, I can say that I do not feel sorry for any of these players. They have HUGE egos! Penn State is recruiting me, I must be one of the greatest players ever. Well, yes you are probably really really ridiculously good, but so are the other 10 players Penn St is recruiting, and so are the other 10 players already on the roster. Oh, so now you are not starting? Wah Wah, I have never been on the bench before, my ego can't handle it. Daddy said I was the best player ever? Well, if you go to Penn St, the best players in the universe are going there, you may not play even though you are really good. Too bad you didn't pick another school where you would have been the stud. No sympathy here.

I can't imagine it was playing time, as Texas' outside hitter recruits were more highly touted out of high school than Penn State's current players.

Too bad you didn't pick another school where you would have been the stud. No sympathy here. I guess when you agree to play with a school like Penn State, USC, Texas, etc., that already has (and will have with new recruits) a wealth of talent, you really can't expect to be on the starting lineup. You can expect to be used, anyway on the court to get the team to win, and sometimes the position you're used as won't be of your preference. I don't think Paulina has a big ego, I just think she wants more playing time. But, it's hard to say whether or not she'll get that playing time with Texas which is already well-equipped.

A couple of interesting videos in retrospect...

I don't remember the last time I saw a thread that lost its purpose so completely. If it were up to me, I'd lock it. Perhaps that should have happened as soon as people began speculating about the mental state of a young player who did nothing but change schools. Even well-intended defending against such an inference keeps the discussion in front of people. Let it all go.

Ironically, many of the posters making these "mental state" comments are the ones who most likely need psychological help themselves !
