Seems like you do want a setter in 2022. With Cabello in 2020, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to take a 2022.

We can really sum it up to this... Texas will always be a top ranking recruiting class. Jerrit Elliot will always get top level talent and that will never change. I have full faith in him in who he goes after. Like a previous poster said, the state of Texas produces top level talent. We can't get them all so with that being said I am very pleased and confident in any recruit that Jerrit goes after. You have players like Madison Rigden, Kelcey Payne and Yosianna Presley who turned out to be great players that Texas did not get but Texas also matches that talent so regardless there are plenty of players and elite talent in the state of Texas to win a championship with.

So I know Jerrit goes after the players he feels like can win a national title. Coming out of high school those players were not what they turned out to be. So my point is the state of Texas has alot of talent to offer. So I am perfectly fine with whomever Jerrit decides he wants. |

Seems like you do want a setter in 2022. With Cabello in 2020, it would be unreasonable to take a 2022. It is my ideal, but there's also a chance Cabello redshirts this coming season as her Spring semester at Texas was cut short due to the pandemic. Still, Gabriel moves on after the 2021 season, so I guess it does make sense that we will need a second setter to compete with Cabello come 2022; guess I was mixing up 2021 and 2022 needs for another setter.
If an elite setter wants to join your program regardless of which setters are already on the roster, you take 'em. Just like a QB in football, PG in basketball, or pitcher in baseball/softball. Competition brings out the best in players, and the cream rises to the top. Unfortunately, sometimes it results in the incumbent (upperclassmen) deciding to transfer out if their playing time doesn't turn out as they had hoped.

We'll need a 2022 setter or else Cabello will be the only setter on the roster in 2022. However it might be a struggle to recruit an elite 2022 setter with the prospect of sitting behind Cabello for at least two years. |

Yeah, most of the truly elite setters want to be the starter the moment they step on campus.
The transfer portal definitely has impacted other programs with being able to bring in a grad-transfer setter or one with limited eligibility to help fill in depth at the setter position, whether to be the starter or not. Conversely, some programs have lost their underclassmen starting setter to transfer, and then are left to find the best replacement possible wherever they can (if not already on their bench).

Hard to fault Jerritt for taking an early verbal commitment from a polished and proven Lexi Sun out of California instead of gambling on a raw in-state prospect like Yossiana Pressley despite her elite athleticism. I have no idea who besides Baylor offered Pressley, but we know that just about every Top 25 program in the country offered Sun. |

2022 seems an odd year where three of the best recruits in the state are going to Baylor and UT is focused on all out-of-state recruits. I don't think that necessarily hurts UT, but it's strange they don't have the state's best players on lockdown, more so last year losing both Skinner and Rutherford who are both great (those two seem like scholarship allocation casualties). When recruiting the 2020 class, you would have been looking at Sun, Eggleston, and Fields as the likely pin hitters in 2020. So likely Elliott was recruiting just one, maybe two, pin hitters in the class. It appears Madison Williams was his first choice (unless someone else turned us down) and likely wasn't recruiting another at the time. So it appears it was just scholarship allocation as you mention. |

I hope she doesn't redshirt. I could be wrong but I don't see Texas winning a NC with Gabriel running the show. |
