So with Sokolowski taking on more of a Gabby Malette role (blocking and occasionally hitting) what happens to Greer? they are both hitting negative for the season, so I would expect Sokolowski to come in if Hammon’s is having a bad match. I think Greer will have a very tough time seeing the court. Than throw in Hall coming in next year. |

Than throw in Hall coming in next year. Thayer Hall will start immediately for the Gators next year and will probably move to the L1, and I don't think anyone questions that. Well, maybe a few, but she'll still be a six rotation player. Warner will probably take over the right side automatically too (being a lefty). |

I wouldn’t be too surprised if Sokolowski played a little bit of OPP next year if Warner is not terminating well enough

As for Warner it is her job to lose. I don't really understand why she isn't more successful. She's tall and can go over blocks easily. Yet she very rarely purposely tries to tool the top or edges of the block. She hits the ball into the net way too often. She puts enough heat on it, just needs to learn how to navigate the block. |

Looks like CK is out to make a point after last year's performance in the NCAA tournament. She's been lights out this match, so far. Here's an article about Knop and the Gators that is now online. www.espn.com/espnw/sport/ncaa-volleyball/ |

Here's an article about Knop and the Gators that is now online. www.espn.com/espnw/sport/ncaa-volleyball/I can definitely see the improvement between last year and this year, as far as her location on her passes. Nice to see her leading the SEC. |

Florida looking good after the first set winning 25-17. Tennessee running the slide well though.

If you'd seen her swing in club, you'd realize just how far she had to go. Her arm has gotten way better, but she still needs to learn shotmaking. If she continues on this trajectory, she could be a very lethal hitter as an upperclassman. |

Gators are such a good blocking team. They were really good defensively again tonight and that has been a constant this season. Can’t believe it took me this long to make the connection, but Huskey reminds me of McGinnis in many ways. Her setting is improving, but her skills as a blocker and being deceptive attacking the ball are a lot of fun to watch. And we haven’t had a setter who could block like that, maybe ever.
The great thing for this team and for Gator fans is they still have a ton of room for improvement.

That was as good as I've seen Florida play, first point to last, in a long time. Aside from a few dodgy sets from both of them, everything was clicking. Knop had an especially good match, digging a ton of balls. And Huskey -- fantastic blocking. After the Arkansas match I didn't know what to expect tonight, but Florida's play was better than I had hoped for.

I was skeptical about Cheyenne last year and whether or not she’d ever see the court. Boy am I happy to be proven wrong. She’s doing so much better than I hoped. She’s a beast of a blocker!
