I'm not sure why Texas recruits big hitters but can't manage to get great liberos and defensive specialist. I mean even Cat McCoy is not the most effective libero. When she played USA she played behind Molly Sauer who is a year younger. I think Texas' main concern is defense. Amy Neal and Kat Brooks are not too great either. It's a little frustrating because they should be winning national championships, but their defense is never at the same level as their offense.

She was a highly recruited libero, but I don't think she played too well this season. Even though she is a freshman Texas is the weakest at defense. She had 394 digs this past season, but Illinois freshman libero Brandi Donnelly had 575, thats a huge difference. I'm not sure why Texas keep recruiting huge hitters when there is no offense when there is no defense. And Dalton should stop setting. I was watching the texas vs byu game and most of the hitters had to roll shot or tip because they already know the ball was not going to be set perfectly.

IMO she was a good libero. Not the best libero, or freshman libero but she did her job well. I don't think she was a part of the defensive problems.

I'm not sure if getting Bedart Ghani was the best move for Texas. Albeit she is a talented player but she might not see playing time. And for a top 10 recruit I would feel bad if she was on the bench. Texas obviously couldn't have known 100% about Nwanebu transferring. But with a lot of good hitters already on the roster and the players coming in when 2016-2017 rolls around, she might not see quality playing time. Of course none of the players have proved themselves but a lot of people don't see Bedart Ghani in the starting lineup in years come. Hopefully she finds some playing time somewhere.

Maybe she'll go B1G? Amy Neal and Kat Brooks are problems for Texas defense, and I wanted McCoy to really pick it up in the back court last season, but she did not do an amazing job. Main problem is too many hitters no outstanding Libero or DS. Another problem is their setting, they need to go to a 5-1 way too many people are going in and out. It's hard for them to stay consistent with that many people coming in and out. Also they need a outside that can play all 6 rotations, someone consistently on the floor being a leader. BTW I dont't think Duello at Wisonsin will see playing time in the next few years and she's a top 10 recruit.

Illinois total sets: 130 Texas total sets: 105 Donnelly: 4.5 dps McCoy: 3.75 dps Illinois: 2.7 bps Texas: 3 bps That leaves about a half a dig per set difference between the two. Not near as big of a difference as you made this out to be. I thought McCoy did great and was a really solid libero. She just never had much defensive help around her.

These stats mean very little since the same competition wasn't played by both teams. The stats of one or both could have changed greatly if each had played the others competition. Also one needs to consider how good or bad the passing was from the other passers on the court was. Bad passers could mean more d/s for the libero as the libero may have to pass more balls. Better passers could mean fewer d/s for the libero because the libero may not have to pass as many balls.

Every team with great defenses should be winning national championships, too. Guess what? They're not. Every team puts more emphasis one part of the game than another. If winning multiple national championships was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Hopefully she finds some playing time somewhere. #negativerecruiting at its best. I'm so sure you feel bad. Yaz will see playing time early and often, and maybe at both pins: "Yaazie plays for Club Long Beach and is a big 6-4 outside hitter that has the potential to play opposite as well," Elliott said. "She is arguably one of the hardest hitters in her class. She is a quality young lady that will continue to develop in our program." www.texassports.com/news/2014/11/12/WVB_1112143618.aspx

With all the problems Texas has according to you, it's a shock we can even make the NCAA tourney as an at-large team. Not sure what your agenda is on this thread, but you apparently have had something crawl up your @ss . . .
