Results of the overall tournament aside, Skylar Fields will be a huge impact for Texas immmediately. Philips will be more than serviceable in the middle of needed. I’m excited for this new class.

After watching the WJNT, I think Logan will play 6 rotations and Skylar will have a DS. If Logan is L1 again this year, having a DS for the Opp means she is only passing one rotation in the front row (Ro 1). I think Skylar is definitely the best choice for Opposite. I can see Asjia starting, but Molly coming in if we need a better block. She is a wonderful blocker.

Coach Elliott could use Phillips for a blocking sub for Jhenna late in sets like used Mirta for Chloe. I see her getting more play time than that though.

She looked really impressive when she did during the tournament!

She looked really impressive when she did during the tournament! that’s what I feel too. She has such an impressive swing and her back row attacks are lethal. I would love for Logan to play all 6 rotations but i feel her passing wasn’t that impressive this tournament.

Texas has plenty of firepower, I’m not sure how necessary it will be if both Eggleston and Fields play 6 rotations. Elliot should prioritize 1st and 2nd contacts, not Fields back row attacking lol.

Always good to read other's opinions on court lineups/rotations.
With Hahn and Rounsaville being seniors, and both having played extensively in their 3 years at Texas, I don't see them not getting plenty of playing time their final season, especially if the coaches believe their serve-receive, passing, and defense are better than several of our front row players, and the backrow hitting isn't crucial.
I'm hoping our serving gets tougher (and more efficient). To me, that would mean having Logan and Skylar serve instead of Hahn and Rounsaville. If each gets to serve (even if they are subbed out afterwards), that in itself provides a backrow hitting option for those rotations; if Skylar happens to be serving while Micaya is in the backrow, then we'd have two backrow hitting options in that rotation. So, I'm not convinced either Logan or Skylar needs to play all 6 rotations.

I think the back row hitting option comes in to play mostly in the two-hitter rotations when our setter is up front and side out percentages in those three rotations. If we can’t side out at a high level in those rotations, then I’d expect some offense for defensive lineups in the back row (sorry Hahn/Rounsaville). So I guess it’ll just matter how the M1 I think it is (probably Butler) performs. I’d guess Logan stays on the floor and only gets subbed out if passing breaks down.

We could be the most lethal (back row hitting) team with 3 great options...if we get our setting situated. We were playing around with it with Shook. However, it wasn't utilized with Jhenna.

Hard to believe that we will still have such a young starting lineup again this season. Can't decide if we are younger or older across the board than last season.
2018 August: Setter -- Soph.: Ashley Shook OH -- RS Jr.: Micaya White OH -- Fr.: Logan Eggleston MB - Sr.: Morgan Johnson MB - RS Fr.: Brionne Butler OPP - Fr.: Katarina Luketic DS - Juniors: Autumn Rounsaville and Claire Hahn
2018 December: Setter -- Fr.: Jhenna Gabriel OH -- RS Jr.: Micaya White OH -- Fr.: Logan Eggleston MB - Sr.: Morgan Johnson MB - RS Fr.: Brionne Butler OPP - Sr.: Yaazie Bedart-Ghani DS - Juniors: Autumn Rounsaville and Claire Hahn
2019 August: Setter -- Soph.: Jhenna Gabriel or Jr. Ashley Shook OH -- RS Sr.: Micaya White OH -- Soph.: Logan Eggleston MB - RS Fr.: Asjia O'Neal MB - RS Soph.: Brionne Butler OPP - Fr.: Skylar Fields DS - Seniors: Autumn Rounsaville and Claire Hahn

When do players return to campus? I’ve seen some other schools posting media pictures already.

So what’s the story with Hayden Kubik? Is Texas going after her?
