My hopes are so high, but knowing how quick UF was to shut down, I’m hesitant with how many cases Florida is reporting I miss volleyball and want it to start so badly Do you mean the state of Florida?

OH BROTHER. Maybe they all held their breath at once, picture snapped, hopped 3 ft away in 4 different directions, exhaled. Let’s hope so! My tongue in cheek observation didn't convey however 11 UF student athletes did test positive for COVID. At least for now, UF did announce they are opening up with in person classes in the fall. Where we are in FL, the tourists are back in full force and there is ZERO precautions from said tourists. Lots of close pictures and selfies (insert laughing emoji here) The 11 cases are dating back since April. And student athletes from several teams. Those teams haven’t been disclosed. But those 11 cases aren’t necessarily directly correlated to the athletes returning in June. Of course, we would be naive to think no student athlete or student in general will get it once they all return to campus.

Infections don’t matter it’s hospitalizations and deaths and since they can’t use those numbers right now which is what everything was based off of they are using exposure. They are literally playing people for fools with fear tactics. They had said 80% of people would prob be exposed at some point. As long as hospitals aren’t overloaded I don’t see what the problem is here

Hopefully ignorance doesn't ruin more sports seasons like it has so many other things.

I know we had no freshmen last year, but it's weird to see no sophomores on this year's roster. Gotta think that Warner redshirts this season and becomes the lone graduating senior after the 2022 season. It's interesting Carlton is still being listed as a RS/S despite doing no setting last year and only setting half a rotation her soph season. Maybe there's a bigger role for her setting in 2021? Or likely I'm just reading into this too much. My final answer best guess at our rotation for 2021 at this point is a 5-2. Always 2-3 front row hitters plus a back row attacker on the court. Setter will have 3-4 options in any rotation. MB: King/Okammor MB: Dooley RS: Carlton S(F): Hendrickson S(B): Monserez OH: Hall (6 rotations) OH: Ceasar (Hammons will play backrow) L: McKissock DS: Cerame/Fischer (Carlton's backrow sub) Backup OH: Hammons Backup OH/RS (blocking sub): Soko Backup MB: Okammor/King Serving Specialist & Backup DS: Fischer/Cerame Redshirt: Victoria & Warner ----------------------------------------------- Last time we ran the 5-2 was in 2017, which was the best year for the Gators since 2003. We have the tools to be just as good as that team collectively in my humble opinion, but I'd give advantage 2017 squad in the areas of MB, RS and L to start the season. 2020 team has advantage with OH and I'd say about even in Setting with 2017 squad. 2020 squad will have the advantage of Hammons' back row attack actually being effective and something the opposing team will need to factor in their game plan. 2020 team has slight advantage in DS dept, at least in terms of depth and experience. MB-2017 RS-2017 S- Equal OH- 2020 L- 2017 DS- 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------- Can someone check my work? Does anything look off? Rotation 1
OH: Hall MB: Dooley RS: Carlton DS/OH: Hammons L: McKissock S: Monserez - serving Rotation 2
OH: Ceasar MB: Dooley RS: Carlton DS/OH: Hall - serving L: McKissock S: Monserez Rotation 3OH: Ceasar MB: King RS: Carlton DS/OH: Hall L: McKissock - serving S: Monserez Rotation 4OH: Ceasar MB: King S/RS: Hendrickson DS/OH: Hall L: McKissock DS: Cerame/Fischer (Carlton will likely serve here and maybe even set so Hendrickson can hit for half a rotation) Rotation 5
OH: Hall MB: King S: Hendrickson DS/OH: Hammons - serving L: McKissock DS: Cerame/Fischer Rotation 6OH: Hall MB: Dooley S: Hendrickson DS/OH: Hammons L: McKissock - serving specialist will be used in this rotation, which will be key since it's our weakest offensive rotation (or at least it was in 2019) DS: Cerame/Fischer Not so fast on Warner in red. She’s looking lean and mean and ready for season yesterday. Hate that a season was burned for her last year tho. Also, I’m going with Okammor over King. Experience might beat out talent in the first match or two (depending on who that will be), but I think Nnedi will take over that spot. For years, Carlton’s sole position was setter. Then she shot up in height and had to then learn hitting technique. She did set on occasion last season. It’s a good tool to keep in the shed. So thoughts on system and who will be playing where? Is Warner starting on the right?

If Warner's cannon gets court time on the RS, Carlton could very feasibly take Hendrickson's spot in the 5-2 that I outlined. I think Carlton could hit for half a rotation while Monserez is serving too. All I know is Wise isn't benching a 6'7 redshirt senior RS/S.

Rotation 5 OH: Hall MB: King S: Hendrickson DS/OH: Hammons - serving L: McKissock DS: Cerame/Fischer Rotation 6OH: Hall MB: Dooley S: Hendrickson DS/OH: Hammons L: McKissock - serving specialist will be used in this rotation, which will be key since it's our weakest offensive rotation (or at least it was in 2019) DS: Cerame/Fischer These two rotations are why a 5-2 is unlikely imo. Offensively they're too weak. Not to mention that Cesar passing in ro 2 & 3 might be an issue. You'd be better off running a 6-2, either with Hall & Hammons both 6-Ro OHs and Cesar & Carlton at OPP OR if you don't like Hammons front row, Cesar plays OH2 front row and Hammons plays back row, with Warner & Carlton OPP. That way you don't have a DS - neither of Florida's DSs played well in 2019 and you can keep a more offensive line up. Ofc if Cesar can't pass, Hammons needs to be on the floor all the way around. All of that said, Birdie is much better defensively than I think most people are expecting. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she's running a 5-1 by the end of the season.

Caesar is playing OH and she can pass just fine! Can you express 'fine' numerically? Hammons was Florida's best passer in 2019 with a good pass % of 61.1%. The next best player that is still on the roster was Hall at 53.8%. Gregory was 58%. Last time Cesar passed (2018) she recorded a good pass percentage of 44.3%.

I don’t think things will be overly complicated. 5-1 with Marlie setting. OH: Hall OH: Ceasar OPP: Carlton S: Monserez MB: Dooley MB: King to start but Okammor taking over as season progresses L: Elli DS: Hammons
