Did anyone watch the avca under armour all american game?? Iosia also looked good. I’d say judging by this game her defense is better than her reception game but neither looked bad by any means. Great second setter and has a nasty serve (even when she has to float it - which she did). I think whoever takes the libero spot next year will be who can receive serve consistently at a higher level because they (Iosia and Petersen) seem similar in their defensive level. This assessment of Iosia is spot on. Amazing OOS/Second setter. Great movement and defense. She brings up a lot of tough balls. Her serve is great (at least topspin, I haven't seen her do much with her float). Her serve receive is going to be the project. It's not bad, but I have seen middle of the road serving keep her from passing 3's consistently.

Whether Iosia is the DS or Libero, she will see the court a lot as Texas loses both Hahn and Rounsaville. We didn't offer her a scholarship (never has Texas had two backrow 4-year scholarship players on the roster) to sit on the bench.

She'll be an upgrade defensively on Petersen pretty quickly I think but passing will be the key. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I think it's more likely Iosia is DS this year to give her experience before she takes the job as a So. Unless, that is, Petersen plays like she did in the tournament. Either way Iosia is exciting and the future looks very bright.

She did struggle late in the match vs. Texas though... Struggle?? She passed a 2.47 on the match and had the best defensive numbers of any player in either team. She had the best passing grade of any Libero who faced the Longhorns this year.

She passed a 2.47 on the match and had the best defensive numbers of any player in either team. She had the best passing grade of any Libero who faced the Longhorns this year. Go back and watch final set...in my opinion, she missed a number of digs that she was getting earlier in the match. That being said, I think she is great. I was at the UCSB home match vs. Cal Poly and she was passing nails. She dug a ball late in the match plowing through the gatorade cart that lit the place up. She was big time snubbed on big west all league honors...pissed me off when she was not included.

Can we please get Fleck as a transfer and have Iosia as a DS, Fleck will be outstanding for our backrow I think she could help for sure. But, we don't have an open scholarship for her for the 2020 season unless Melanie Parra doesn't sign her LOI, or we have one outgoing transfer in the next week or so. Heck, if she intends to transfer in the next couple of weeks, then I doubt we have a Spring scholarship unless a few scholarship seniors graduated in December (like Orie, Micaya, Fisbeck). We have Capri and Cabello coming in the next couple of weeks.

Sidenote: i saw that Parra is playing club for 16u, im concerned that she won’t be at Texas for 2020

She was big time snubbed on big west all league honors...pissed me off when she was not included. In the final frame she only had two attempts at digs. One was a failed pancake on a tip from Butler that I'm sure you're right, she'd have liked back. She other was a dig of Micaya White that led to UCSB winning the point. So if you meant that one pancake, I'd agree she should've had it but I don't know if I'd consider that struggling at any point. She DID get aced in the 5th (even though she was taking a ball hit at Ruddins) but again, she had a 70% GP% on the match. As a team Texas had a 36.5% GP%. I guess my takeaway is nobody bats .1000 and nobody has a flawless match. But she was pretty close that day and I definitely didn't see her struggling. I'd love to see her in burnt orange and I know she'd improve the program but I don't think there's a spare scholarship for her and so I don't think it'll happen.

When you first said you wish Fleck would come Texas, was that just wishing out loud? Or has Fleck indicated she's looking for a new home?
