they didn’t have a bad passing night. If Texas passed as well as Kentucky did Thursday night that would be amazing for the Longhorns. UK passed a 2.25. I know you’re not trying to insult Kentucky I’m just clearing up this misconception sorry, i guess it more appeared to be that they had off passing for stretches. Especially Tharp. I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t expect those same stretches to occur. But you know the stats, so maybe she didn’t pass as poorly as it seemed Thats more accurate. Tharp had a very poor night. Everyone else was stellar besides Avery who was just decent. |

But you know the stats, so maybe she didn’t pass as poorly as it seemed Tharp was definitely below her average and the only passer that was below a 2.0 for Kentucky. But I think Stumler and Walker passed around a 2.5-2.6 Tharp 1.91 on 11 attempts Stumler 2.46 on 24 attempts Curry 2.38 on 8 attempts Skinner 2.04 on 25 attempts Walker 2.6 on 10 attempts. |

Facts state otherwise. Nice try, though. if you gave Volpe or mcGuyre the talent and resources Jerrit has had they do even better than him guaranteed . Maybe. I think it's easy to project hypotheticals the way we want them to be. Reality doesn't always seem to match. My guess is if Jerritt Eliot had taken a different path to a collegiate head coaching position rather than USC to Texas he still would have found a great deal of success. He may not have the qualities you find important in a head coach, but I have a feeling there may be qualities embodied in a successful leader of people you're giving short shrift to. As a life long Texas fan, the list is extremely long of the coaches given exceptional resources to be the best in their given sport who have not experienced the success Elliot has had in volleyball. Jim Moore, Jerritt Elliot's predecessor, would be my Exhibit A. But there's a long line of them. |

I was just trying to clear that up. If a 2.25 is a bad night that’s pretty fantastic |

You might not know this, but being a great head coach means assembling together a great roster. Trying to hypothetically "give" a head coach someone else's roster is NOT reality. You can't guarantee crap.

If a 2.25 is a bad night that’s pretty fantastic yeah, I guess from my eye Tharp’s struggles seemed to be larger than they were. Thanks for the correction  |

Are people really acting like this will be like Texas vs Oregon 2012? Idk why there is so much disrespect for Kentucky. This team made it to the final and looks better than any team Texas has played up to this point. If both teams play how they have been playing, this will not be a sweep for either team. Both teams have 4 real good hitters that can be used. Sure Kentucky had a bad passing night on Thursday, and they’re going up against a team that arguably serves tougher than Washington, but crazy things happen on this stage. I think it's a combination of things. Kentucky is very athletic, but the Longhorn's front court looks otherworldly. Texas has traditionally been a poor passing/backcourt team, even in very successful years. They look better than they have in a long time. And then there are the many Texas fans on this site. I think that all leads to an impression that the general tone of the board is lopsidedly convinced of a Texas victory. But if you look through the comments there are plenty of well respected observers who think Kentucky is the better team and is going to emerge the victor. I think most people want to see a 5 set close contest more than anything. |

all good. I get what you were saying. I was just trying to clear that up.

So you were right on that one |

Say what you want about Elliott, but he's a tremendous recruiter, and that is perhaps the most important part of the job for any college coach. He might not be as good at development or strategy or tactics as other coaches, but he will always have quite a bit of success with the talent that he recruits. That talent doesn't just automatically show up because it's Texas. The school helps, but ultimately, Elliott (and his staff) is who is convincing them to come to Austin. |

Tharp was definitely below her average and the only passer that was below a 2.0 for Kentucky. But I think Stumler and Walker passed around a 2.5-2.6 Tharp 1.91 on 11 attempts Stumler 2.46 on 24 attempts Curry 2.38 on 8 attempts Skinner 2.04 on 25 attempts Walker 2.6 on 10 attempts. Were you able to pull up Logan’s passing stats for the Baylor match? |

Tharp 1.91 on 11 attempts Stumler 2.46 on 24 attempts Curry 2.38 on 8 attempts Skinner 2.04 on 25 attempts Walker 2.6 on 10 attempts. We’re you able to pull up Logan’s passing stats for the Baylor match? ooooooof she passed a 1.54 with a 33 percent good pass percentage. That’s really bad. It was an outlier performance though |

You're right. Jerritt isn't anywhere near close to Volpe or McGuyre. I think your just trying to rattle their cages; but volpe is under achieving rice coach, McGuyre is still to be measured: Fanning was signed and Pressly committed prior to being on campus! He seems good on paper but a couple yesrs into his own recruits will give the best indication. But since there are 97 4 year schools, 138 junior colleges, 3240 HS, and 3 USAV regions in one state: i would say it would be difficult to quantify the best vb coach in texas! Baylor has very good recruiting classes for the next seasons but we’ll see how they turn out. Regardless, McGuyre has done an absolutely amazing job at Baylor so far. While he may have not recruited Fanning or Pressley, he’s still responsible for their development over the last few years, as well as the development of 3 other All-Americans.. Also does really well with the transfer portal (Philo, Milana, Harrison, Harper, Anderson) and has created a culture that players love which is why there hasn’t been any big time transfers leaving the team. To take a program with very little history of success to a final four in just 5 years is remarkable. |

Transfer portal these days is critical: you could actually put an excellent team together every year just by using the portal ! You wouldnt need any freshman! Lots of NCAA tourney teams effective in portal! |

I know the consensus is with the Longhorns tonight, but I really like Kentucky's chances. They will need to play better than they did on Thursday and consistently get Texas out of system but they have all the tools to win this.
