I like the idea oh eggleston at opp bc she is more physical than firelds and her arm swing is more suited for the right. I think fields and white should be left

I think fields and white should be left Eggleston is far and away a better passer than Fields, though. She could be a passing opposite but then rotation 2 could get sticky. I also don't think Eggleston is more physical than Fields...

Hahn and rounsaville are still there and I don’t see a reason to keep eggleston in unless she hits the pipe which o don’t see her doing. I think eggleston is stronger and will do a better job shutting down lefts ides than fields

Hmmm...I have to disagree. Both are very nice physical, talented players, but unless something has changed recently, that has never been the case. Looking forward to seeing Eggleston play 6-rotations. She is a good passer and seems to get in a nice grove taking the pass and swinging outside. She has a nice variety of swings that make her very dangerous. Also she can be lethal out of the back row. Skylar has opposite NT potential, it was really fun watching her this past summer with the JNT to see just glimpses of what she can be capable of. Will be fun again to watch Texas play with all of their physical talent,

She is an absolute monster hitting and on the block.

Wasn’t fields listed as an opp in the Texas press release?

Apples (theoretical) vs. Orange (real playing time)

I was referring more to her performance with the JNT last summer but sure, it's all theoretical at this point. I'm sure there will be growing pains and an adjustment period, but in terms of theoretical physicality and fit on the right side, Fields > Eggleston.

As long as Eggleston continues to serve, I'm fine with her playing at either pin. Would be great if they were both skilled enough to swap positions in different sets to get different hitting matchups throughout the match.
I believe Fields is pretty good from the service line, too. Our serving needs to get tougher, so hopefully Fields can contribute there, too.

What I'm proposing is a different starting position for a set. Perhaps it's not feasible based on position responsibilities.

Barring any injuries, I’d be shocked if we didn’t see Fields and one of either O’Neal/Phillips slide in to the spots vacated by graduation. I don’t really see any other lineup changes unless we snag a transfer in the offseason. It is nice that our pins have such flexibility if we needed a lineup change though!
On the note of transfer, with Luketic gone, we now have an open scholarship. There have been 2 high level transfers already committed elsewhere. Does anyone think we will try and snag another setter if one comes available? Or do we look for a DS transfer since a few of us were not greatly impressed by our backrow play? Or do we give it to a walk-on for a year?

I think they usually did it for a point or two. Didn't pass close enough attention to it to see if it was always on the same rotation, though I think several times it was when YBG subbed back in.
