I have been hearing that Texas volleyball may be getting a new practice facility in the future. Anyone know this to be true?

S - Naomi Cabello Freshman - Top 10 recruit L - Nalani Iosia Freshman - Top 20 recuit OH - Capri Davis Junior - Top 30 recruit DS - Melanie Parra Freshman (*serves and hits out of the back row) - BALLER OH - Logan Eggleston Junior - Top 5 Recruit MB - Brionne Butler Junior - Top 5 Recruit MB - Asjia O’Neal Sophomore - Top 5 Recruit OPP - Skylar Fields Sophomore - Top 5 Recruit DS - Sydney Petersen Junior If we don't get to the regional final/final 4 next year with a stacked team like this, Texas will be in deeper trouble.

Texas needs to build a different type of team to get back over the hump. For the past several years, they have trotted out the same type of team (that emphasizes big hitters/jumpers), and then they end up losing in the tournament in the same way (serve/receive or other passing breakdown, plus some unforced errors: service, in the net, or other).
You would think by now that the coaching staff would see how this has played out multiple times, and attract a different type of player to the team--players who are excellent individual and team defenders (aka who can pass). Players who can prevent you from getting into a serve-receive rut, or who can get you out of one when it occurs. It seems like they view a big outside or middle who can jump high and pound as that bright shiny object, and they can't help themselves but try to recruit all of that same type of player to the team. They put up a gaudy regular season record, earn a top 3 seed, lose in the tournament, and repeat.

Texas issue this year was not skill but mentality. There’s been a tremendous improvement and focus on passing as evident by Logan’s improvement in that area. What the team lacks is leadership with a killer mentality (a la Khat Bell, Micha Hancock, Alisha Glass, etc...). The girls are all very nice, sometimes too nice. Someone needs to step up and be the one to look at other teammates and tell them to step it up or to snap out of it.

You worry about your program; we'll worry about ours. If the coaching staff requires your input, I'll have them hit you up.

horns1 I am a big fan of your verbal smack downs of the trolls that infiltrate the Texas thread, but sometimes I think you might be a little trigger happy. Lol. Are you not able to see that this commentary actually does chronicle the last few years of Texas volleyball in a lot of ways? If not, can you tell me why you think that a team of this magnitude of riches in terms of talent isn’t getting to the championship match more often?

Do you think this poster wants Texas to win every single match and is offering "advice" out of the goodness of their heart? Most likely has never posted on a Texas thread before.
Anyone who follows Texas recruiting knows that the 2020 class is one that differs from many in the past as it brings in more ball-control players.
Anyone who follows Texas volleyball knows that this season was one of our best when it came to better passing, and first time in forever where we had to OH's playing all 6 rotations. Ironic that what folks had been clamoring about for years ends up being the year we fail to reach the Elite 8 since 2005.
Every season is different; how is this season the same as the last 5 seasons when it comes to personnel, offense, maturity, leadership, etc.? Not every great season ends the way the players, coaches, and fans want it to end (with a national championship).
As I've said many times, one recruiting service's subjective recruiting rankings don't determine success at the collegiate level. I stated before that our 2016 recruiting class ended up being a dud as not one of them could win a starting job (Micaya was 2015). Our 2017 recruiting class (#1 ranked) will probably end up with only one senior starter when all is said and done.
It takes players from each recruiting class to contribute in order to be successful at the highest level; we just didn't have that this season.

Thank you. I share the view that it describes the last few years of Texas volleyball in a lot of ways, which is why I said it. It is an observation I arrived at after watching them play for several years.
Also, I have no particular rooting interest in Texas--for or against.

It's more defense oriented as every recruit is an upgrade in some aspect defensively. Naomi cabello is is a bigger block which we desperately need out of a setter, nalani losia is just an amazing libero with a monster serve, Madison williams is a good 6 rotation player who can defend in the backcourt, riley Heinrich I have not seen any video on but im sure she is a good DS and melanie parra is the piece we have been needing. She will upgrade the backrow attack that we have been needing and she is a great passer and defensive player and has a tough serve that she barely commits errors with and she has a great volleyball IQ. So now that everyone is more experienced and mature Texas will really be dominant

Next years nc belongs to Texas or Wisconsin imo. Stanford, sadly, will most likely not win but who knows. They do have 4 top 10 freshman and another top 10 recruit coming in. Depending on how parra does, who I think is the most logical option rn to put in at OH, and if cabello isn’t another shook, Texas could be unstoppable.
