Yeah, things just didn't add up that Melanie would be ready to enroll in the Spring. Her moving to an Austin suburb most likely means she will be attending a local high school in order to complete some academic requirements.
With Madison Williams' injury last Fall, I am even more thrilled that we landed Capri Davis and that she gets to practice with the team this Spring; huge bonus all the way around.
From a numbers perspective, if nothing changes attrition-wise, our junior class will consist of Jhenna, Capri, Sydney, Brionne, and Logan; that is 5 players. If we are fortunate enough to add Fleck, the junior class increases to 6 players. If all are on scholarship, that's half our allocation in one class. The recruiting class of 2022 will be interesting to watch unfold; will save those thoughts for down the road.

I know we've discussed this privately in DMs but I find it really hard to believe that Sydney will want to remain in Austin if she slides to third string behind Fleck and Iosia... If your above scenario DID happen (not sure if it will yet or not), I would put money on Petersen finding a new place where she can start.

I think petersen will make her way back to northern iowa if fleck were to come in and take her spot and losia were to be the backup. I mean her mom did say she tried to get her to stay and she was offered a full scholarship

If your above scenario DID happen (not sure if it will yet or not), I would put money on Petersen finding a new place where she can start. It's tough to know how a player reacts if/when they lose their starting spot, especially one who has been a starter for their first two seasons; look at Miller at Nebraska.
Conversely, Ashley Shook has remained a Longhorn despite losing her starting spot; so many posters have been predicting her transfer for the last year and a half, and it hasn't happened. Even Orie Agbaji remained a Longhorn all 4 years despite not winning a starting spot outright for just about 3.5 seasons.
Petersen could just love being at Texas, and knows she has a guaranteed 'ship for two more seasons. Only she and Jerritt know what has been discussed in regards to her future playing time ast Texas if another, experienced Libero joins the program.
To me, a lot depends on Parra, and if she will be joining in 2020. If she doesn't, we need a starting Libero, one DS for Capri Davis/Madison Williams, and a second DS for Skylar Fields (unless she is ready to play all 6 rotations). We only have two backrow subs in Petersen and Iosia, although Reilly Heinrich will be coming in as a preferred walk-on. If Fleck joins, then that solves one headache if Parra isn't on the roster to at least provide ball control and defense.

For the record, these are "good" problems for the coaching staff to have if Fleck decides she wants to come to Texas!

That was a surprise to me (and I've said as much in my posts) because I was expecting them to keep Sydney at DS regardless next year. But it sounds like they're expecting a Fr Iosia to be a baller and would love to have her playing next to (and learning from) Fleck immediately.

Iosia comes in with a HUGE reputation for her setting, ball control, defense, and serving. She will find some playing time (serving at a minimum) as a true freshman if she comes in with the right attitude, confidence, and fitness. But, she will still be a true freshman who won't arrive until sometime this summer, and competing against one or two players with two years of starting college experience.

I wonder if Texas will stick to having two 6 rotation hitters again as they did this past season. I know in 2018 rounsaville got playing time because white was the only 6 rotation player so it allowed hahn and rounsaville to get playing time. If Texas has two 6 rotation players again then it seems like Peterson will be the one left off the court. I have watched losia play and she is an amazing player and to have fleck teach her the ropes will improve her ability so much more. I think fields passing improvement will determine if she will play 6 rotations but she is a good backrow attacker from what I have seen.

Iosia comes in with a HUGE reputation for her setting, ball control, defense, and serving. She will find some playing time (serving at a minimum) as a true freshman if she comes in with the right attitude, confidence, and fitness. Yep, of course it's dependant on her attitude etc. No one will be handed PT. But it's worth noting that the same person used the word 'timid' when talking about Petersen's energy on the floor. Whether Fleck joins or not, after what I heard today, I am far more willing to accept that Petersen might not be Libero by the end of next season regardless. Oh and, speaking of Parra, I don't want to take house's big announcement regarding her arrival but, for the first time, I also heard someone in the program talk about her and they were effusive with praise. I know I was preaching 'wait and see' and saying she might be too small to dominate but after what I heard today I may well have been wrong on that...

What specifically were they praising her for skills-wise?

Second, I think we competition at Libero because....well, we need better results.
Let me ask an off-the-wall question: Is it against NCAA rules to suit up 2 or more liberos in a game. I didn't say PLAY 2 liberos at the same time, just have 2 black jerseys (for UT) at the same time during a match? I've seen this very rarely in club, to the point where I have to stop and look again and again to see if my old eyes are missing something (wait, do they have two libero's suited up?) I've seen this once in high school play - but that was for a team that had something like 20+ kids.
Just wondering.

I know on the men’s side that this is allowed so why not the women as well?
