Noticed an oddity in the Texas roster lineup. Fields is listed as OPP (and the only one). I thought that was unusual and went back a couple season and they've never listed someone as OPP, always OH. Just a nit. But found it interesting. Yeah, I brought that up in late June (page 36).
As many seasons as I've followed the Texas roster, rarely is any player ever listed as an Opposite hitter. Went back to look at past rosters, and no one has had that position listed consistently; though Nwanebu had it, but it was only used her first season at Texas. Back in the day, the "Utility" label seemed a favorite of Elliott's for players like Lauren Paolini and Jen Doris, and maybe others I forget.
Sha'Dare McNeal had the "Utility" label, and she was a swiss army knife as a 6 rotation RS that would take the second ball if setter made first contact, great blocker, great at attacking, and was usually second best passer on team. She is the last one that had all those skills and that label IIRC.

First day of practice for the Longhorns today. All their Instagram story posts were of the girls passing/digging balls! Coach Elliott has been reading VT.

Instagram update: looks like Agbaji was practicing at right side with the ‘starters’ (she was next to Butler). Not reading a ton into it, but she’s could see some playing time maybe?
Edit: maybe they we were working on some blocking sub scenarios

Even though none of the TV information is listed on the schedule page, the scrimmage will be televised LIVE on LHN at 11 AM Central time.

Is it just me or does it seem that have been more quiet than usual on social medias?? Maybe I'm just anxious for the season to get started!
