Well preslie Anderson led the pac-12 in hitting percentage a couples years ago and we all know what happened when she came to Baylor… Baylor hardly set their middles tho She was a great hype man(woman) for Baylor though. |

Will Swindle be enrolling early? I know Byrd is but, Swindle posted about it being her last practice with her club team so is she coming in early with Byrd?

I bet they worked something out |

I think I remember seeing somewhere that we had like 3 coming in early next year but I could be making that up.

Idk I’m not sold on Bergmark yet, I still think Molly will challenge her in the middle. Okay When the discussion pertains to which player is going to beat out the other for the MB2 spot, a highlight of a slide isn't the sick burn you think it is. Your MB2 is going to be hitting the majority of her attacks in front of the setter. You can watch any match from the last several years and see how few slides Bri ran in our offense. |

Seems to me your eyes missed the text of the tweet where it mentions her having 16 kills and hitting .516 You can also watch any match from the last several years and see how many times Butler had 16 kills, primarily because the answer is zero. People should be ecstatic about getting a great transfer who can produce and yet there are those who would bench her so Phillips could switch to middle in her 4th year of college. |

Nor did my brains which researched the fact she hit .380 for the season. |

Nor did my brains which researched the fact she hit .380 for the season. Is that supposed to be a burn? That's a very good HP for a PAC 12 middle with not great help around her. O'Neal basically hit the same thing in the Big 12 with all of the other offensive options Texas had |

Kind of critical for a middle. You're talking about her being benched. She's not a starter at Texas. I'm excited we have competition at every position. I'm positive our starters aren't going to be determined by the fangirls on volleytalk. |

I'm positive our starters aren't going to be determined by the fangirls on volleytalk. Excepting me. I determine the starters through sheer force of will by my posts on VT. It is known. I don’t really get too much into the discussions of who or who should not be starting. Especially when I don’t have a strong opinion on it. But I do acknowledge it’s definitely one of the main categories for discussion on sports forums. So I’m all for a lively debate of complete inconsequence (in terms of actual impact) simply for the sake of traffic. Once play actually starts I’m sure I’ll have a stronger opinion on it. My assumption is it’s going to be O’Neal and Bergmark as the MB1/MB2, but if blackiechan1999 and tempesthorn want to go in a different direction with their thoughts, I’m excited to read what they have to say, and appreciate their contributions. |

You thinking of it as a "burn" is your mindset, not mine. The stats she put up at Washington in a match last season against a Udub team who gave us fits in the Austin regional semi-final was the point I was trying to convey in posting that tweet; you obviously missed it, instead preferring to jump to a negative conclusion as an expert mind-reader on the internet. |

I'm not going in any direction. Had horns1 posted the clip texashorns did, I wouldn't have even weighed in. I'm simply over the moon we have competition at EVERY position in what feels like the first time in forever. Steel will sharpen steel and the best players will come out of that as starters. I admit I'm equal parts amused and befuddled by the fact so many have Bella as a starter when she's not on campus yet. Anyone familiar with our program should be well aware of the pitfalls with that scenario. We have literally been burned in that situation multiple times. |

It helps she was listed as on the roster in the official Texas Volleyball Instagram story, too. But mostly the acorn thing. |
