Name? Hope I'm overreacting, but right now I'm not happy we let A&M get Aiple when she wanted to come to Texas. How is this not to be construed as why did we offer Collins when we could have had Aiple? I think we all get the context you meant. Go back and read what post I was responding too. It's not that difficult.

It's not that difficult. The fact that whether it's Collins or a 2016 setter, your willingness to trash talk and overreact about the recruiting decision on players that have never even competed in a match for Texas is very disingenuous. I think you'll find it not that difficult to get my meaning.

See you at Gregory!

Just an FYI, but at their meeting last week, UT regents extended Jerritt's contract through 2018 and approved a pay raise to about $290,000 (plus bonuses and annual raises). Congrats to JE!

I wonder how long Salima stays at Texas with Elliott locked up until '18?

I had a dream that Molly McCage develops into a six rotation pin hitter and becomes an All American this season (similar to Tori Dixon, Emily Hartong, etc.)

I, for one, am disappointed in how the team played against Hawaii.
They worked on a faster offense in the spring and then reverted back to the slow, predictable, high moonball system.
Hannah's setting location was all over the place and she relied too much on Webster knowing she had to deal with a huge block that was keying on her. Hannah can't be performing so poorly as a senior and captain of the team.
The MB's were lost and if they were able to put up a block, they were too slow in closing it.
But what killed the team IMO was not having a back row attack as an outlet, something Jerritt said they were focusing on in the off-season.
Having Eckerman not play in the back row really hurts this team. She has got to learn to play better floor defense and to pass on serve-receive. As a veteran of this squad, she should be playing all 6 rotations by now. It's a joke that the staff hasn't developed those skills or that she hasn't taken the initiative to work and improve them on her own.
Pilar played admirably for her first collegiate game, considering she was relied on to pass all 6 rotations. She hits a heavy ball but she's got to learn early that she won't be able to blast it through the block. Her blocking and serving worry me though.
Jerritt has stated he doesn't mind losing early in the season. If that's the case, I'd rather lose with Haley playing in the back row and passing the ball in every rotation to give her the experience/responsibility/training of being a 6 rotation OH. Just look to Hooker as an example...it wasn't pretty when he first started letting her play all the way around but she definitely improved by her senior season!

I agree that not having a back row attack did affect the but if you think about it, Neal played her back row and was great defensively and I am not sure Eckerman would be able to make the digs she did. Even though they won the National Championship last year, this is a new year and still a new team.
Allison started off great but not sure if the shot to her head affected her or not. But whenever she set it high and tight, all Webster's hits were getting touches off the block or blocked making it easier for Hawaii. There was also a point in the match where you would never hear Eckerman even getting set. I have seen Eckerman play before and she was not herself.
One thing that really killed the team was the service errors. Not sure if Elliott talked to Pilar or what because she had six service errors and some of those were at crucial points in the match.

According to her professional team's website, Sha'Dare McNeal has been selected to represent the USA at the first inaugural FIVB Women’s Under 23 World Championships in Tijuana, Mexico from Oct. 6-13. This tournament seems like a good way for the USA to evaluate new college graduates and may also be good exposure for those who have yet to find a professional team. Translated from Italian:Bozen - Südtirol A player of the Volksbank in the court of Karch Kiraly: California-Sha'Dare Latrice McNeal, the only foreign team Tyrolean newly-promoted in A2, was in fact convened by the Head coach for the U.S. Under-23 World Cup to be held from 5 to October 12 in Tijuana, Mexico. The news was announced last night at the company's president Bolzano Rudy Favretto directly from Kiraly, who has also provided the dates on which the 22 year-old San Diego will be involved with the national stars and stripes: the workouts will begin Monday, September 23, the departure for Mexico is scheduled for Oct. 3 while returning to Italy is scheduled for October 13, exactly one week before the season of A2 (home debut against the Palaresia of Bolzano Crovegli Reggio Emilia). The same Kiraly thanked the company for the great chance Bolzano granted opposite-receiver taken by the team at Texas University, who will have the opportunity to show off in the first edition of the Under-23 World Championship, which will take part also Italy as the sole representative of the European Union together with Turkey. For Sha'Dare however, Mexico is linked to pleasant memories: in fact in 2008, the then 17 year old Californian who was part of the selection in Saltillo USA won the Pan American Under-20 championships The Link
