So, some type of camp going on in the metroplex? TAV had their college coaches camp.

Well, maybe it's because Micaya is in socks, but she looks more like 6'0 than 6'1; or, maybe Ebony is closer to 6'5.

Either way, she will be fine. 6' with plenty of spring and a rocket arm will be awesome! Ebony will continue to be the most dominant RS in the country. Add those two with Yaz and Chi - Texas may not lose a set this year!

That was just a little joke, but I do think they are going to be tough to beat. I thought I would at least get a little support from Tempest. I will be at Gregory passing out burnt-orange tinted glasses! Maybe some tshirts too.

Closing in on 2 months until the first match of the 2015 season. Hard to believe that Amy, Molly, Nicole, and Brook will be striving for their fourth straight Final Four appearance; not sure that's every been accomplished at Texas. Technically, Paulina will be shooting for her fourth straight Final Four, just not all with Texas.

So do anyone know if Dalton will be available the first match?
Projected 2015 Lineup: 6-2 OH1- Paulina OH2- White MB1- McCage MB2- Chiaka OPP1- Ebony OPP2- Yazzie Setters- Dalton and Collins Libero- McCoy
5-1 OH1: Paulina OH2: White MB1: Chiaka MB2: McCage OPP: Ebony Setter: Collins until Dalton healthy Libero: McCoy
5-2 OH1: Paulina OH2: White MB1: Chiaka MB2: McCage OPP: Ebony Front row setter: Dalton Backrow Setter: Collins Libero: McCoy
If needed, the best backrow defender to DS which is probably Brooks or Amy

I'd like to see a 5-1 even if Dalton is healthy! I'd like her to be a 6 rotation outside or at least a DS. She's the best passer on the team (not including McCoy) so having her as a DS instead of setting is more important I think. I feel much better about the coaching staff's ability to teach blocking (to Collins) than their ability to teach passing (to White, Paulina, Yazzie, etc.). Plus I think Collins has better hands and connects better with each hitter than Dalton does.
If Dalton is healthy this is what I think would bring the most success:
OH: White/Paulina and Dalton MB: McCage and Ogbogu Opp: Ebony S: Collins L: McCoy
Possible DS in Brooks/Neal for White/Paulina/Ebony

Assuming everyone is healthy, I believe we'll run the 6-2 offense, especially early in the season. Too many new pin hitters (Yaz, Ebbs, and Micaya) who need to get reps in matches.
If Dalton wasn't healthy/durable enough to play 6 rotations last season (every match), I doubt she will be this season. But, the 6-2 offense was used from beginning to end last season, give or take a few matches/sets here and there. I'll let that work itself out during the season as it typically does.
I do think Amy Neal will be a starter at OH the first match; but, it's anyone's guess if she will hold onto that spot all season; a lot depends on her consistency and the readiness of the newcomers.

I believe Elliott would be satisfied if she could make it through '16 in the same capacity as in '15.
