"We're arguably one of the biggest teams of all time and we've got the potential to be a really good blocking team." Elliot said.
My reply:
size isn't all when it comes to blocking

"We're arguably one of the biggest teams of all time and we've got the potential to be a really good blocking team." Elliot said. My reply: size isn't all when it comes to blocking All-American MB Brandy MaGee returns...so their blocking should be very good. Paolini has impressed the coaches in practice and is the most improved player on the team. We'll have to wait and see how Doris will progress as a player. From the look of things.....Elliott seemed very happy to have MaGee back, and excited with his incoming recruits especially Julianne Faucette. |

Faucette is a shut down blocker. Engle and Destinee have one year under their belts and have matured. Blocking will definitely improve over last season with the additions of Magee and Doris.

From what I saw of Magee she is a great hitter but not much of a blocker. Doris might help though.

Well she averaged only 1.10 blocks per game her all-american season. kind of average for a middle, in my opinion.

Although she seemed like just another average MB, she was nothing but average that year. I think having her back would be great for Texas. The person I feel really bad for was Armstrong, the way her career ended was heartbreaking. She was truly their best middle blocker.

There were flashes of greatness with Armstrong.

Faucette will get plenty of opportunities to be a shut down blocker vs Fawcette and Hodge.

Texas is young, talented, hungery & dangerous. I would very surprised if Nebraska swept the series this season. The match in Austin was to close for comfort last season.
