'we' never did this? if me stating that I think pouter and carlini were better makes you think that 'we' have no choice but to 'do this all over again' (?) thats not my issue lol. I didnt even reply to anything you said... im utterly confused by your response. I dont remember these conversations you apparently had with others from 4 years ago, but I think the result of where these players ended up professionally and within the national team speaks for itself. im 10x a bigger Jenna gray fan than the other ones but I can also put bias aside and see with my own eyes when someone is better at setting a volleyball than someone else is. you're welcome to disagree but I never asked or directed anything at you lol Lastly, if you would just have offered it as your opinion, I would have ignored it. But making a statement here that "hands down" they were better? It's not even up for debate? Like you are the authority on volleyball, or what? do you have a team that helps you come up with these conclusions? obviously what I said is an opinion, as is nearly every single post made on here... you are aware of that right? did I say it wasn't up for debate? or that I was an authority on volleyball? I quite literally said "your welcome to disagree". you are in your own world that I truly do not understand, again I'm very confused by your entire post and can't figure out how you made the conclusions you did. to each their own! have a good night I'm only going to become more confused if I continue trying to decipher your logic

I’m sure you’ve seen this all over VT but Ayden Ames, the top MB recruit of 2024 has flipped her commitment to Texas from Nebraska.
How is this going to affect Harvey?

It makes Texas less desperate for a middle in the 2025 class, that’s for sure. It also might put pressure on scholarship numbers, but the scholarship picture is never completely clear at Texas in any case, and the likelihood of transfers prior to 2025 kids reporting to campus, even for spring enrollees, seems high. Overall it has to make her commitment to Texas less likely, but we may be looking at a chicken/egg deal, where the unlikelihood of Harvey committing to Texas influenced the Ames switch in some way. I don’t know that. I’m just speculating. I don’t know of any Texas fan that’s ever been confident about Harvey coming to Texas, although plenty of us have been hopeful. Ames falling into our laps so late in the process is extremely welcome news, and will help take away a lot of the sting out of what feels like the inevitable commitment to the Stanford admissions process that seems to be in the future for Harvey.

Not a whole helluva lot. These decisions from PSAs are so multifaceted; it's not like it can be bandied about on message boards like some fantasy GM NFL discussion. She's deeply into the process of a really life-determining choice...not just athletically, but future career(s)-wise as well. Available scholarships, family ties, preferred majors, etc...all are a part of the pie as to her eventual choice. The situations in Lincoln and Austin have come rather late-in-the-game; might not affect SU at all.

Does all this Ames to Texas mean Harvey is coming? Lol She was probably coming anyway. I don't think the Ames to Texas has/had much impact. If anything it's an indication of where she's leaning in the first place, that Texas circled back to Ames. Although Ames is a heck of a recruit in her own right, so the greatest likelihood is that the two events aren't connected at all.

I think Stanford is the prohibitive favorite for Harvey and I’ve feit that way for quite some time. As a Texas fan I’ve hoped for a commitment from her, but I’ve never had high expectations on that front. I think you guys are in great shape there. Honest!

But I appreciate it. I'll still have my hopes up until a commitment is made. I miss us having super athletic middles and hoping Harvey is the next.

Quite a great return to the forefront...with impressive, relevant contributions in a number of ways...for Sami Francis! Happy she is healthy once again. BTW for you Harvey worrywarts, y'all are WAY off here.

Next year's schedule: 20 ACC matches; one each vs. the other 17 schools; an extra match with the travel partner (Cal); and two more based on this season's RPI. (The conference will be divided into three tiers based on RPI). Five weekends back east. (If they are back-to-back weekends, may stay in the East.)
Non-conference may be a lot of road matches. Starting with Wisconsin and Minnesota.

BTW for you Harvey worrywarts, y'all are WAY off here. Didn't want to overlook Elia's contribution; stats I checked had her far separated from Kipp, Baird and Sami. An impressive performance coming back like that! BTW II....NLI early signing day on Wednesday.

Starting with Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hopefully they can at least stay on the West Coast for some of the pre-con matches, perhaps against former Pac-12 teams like Oregon, USC, ASU, or Utah. They probably still have Nebraska in Lincoln but not sure what happens with Kentucky. We have been playing Texas and Florida also.
