1.) Is Nalani really better than Peterson? Have watched a few matches but I thought Peterson was a lot more comfortable and stable in that role. Idk 2.) Is Parra happy in her new role? I have to admit, I am eating crow rn because I swore we would never see a lineup that didn't have her hitting front row. At least this opportunity will allow her to get better training through the backrow, which can't hurt her international prospects. 3.) Texas still hasn't brought in a better setter than Jenna Gabriel?☹️ Granted, she's much improved, just not someone I'd expect to be a 3 year starter for a storied program like Texas... 1) Iosia is better at setting than Peterson. Sometimes Peterson would be called for a double while trying to set since Jhenna dug the first ball. And overall, Iosia is a slightly better defender than Sydney. Peterson had the job for 2 full years, starting as a freshman. So it's obvious Iosia was considered an upgrade, which I agree with
2. Well, I have to think she has to see the "arms" in front of her and admit she's not at their level yet
3. Jerritt used to have a 2-year cycle between setters. Jhenna was brought in as a DS first, a possible setter second. And then he had Cabello signed and so in theory everything is set. But it's obvious that it's not if he's taking transfer of the (invisible) SKT.
If he had stuck to that, he wouldn't have been forced to play Ashley Shook as a true freshman in Fall 2017. He had to add Riley Fisbeck late just to have a setter on the roster for Spring 2017. Hannah Allison was class of 2010. Seems like Nicole's Dalton (2012) injuries and redshirt season (2013) might have altered things (future setter recruiting) just a bit, but she was one year before Chloe Collins (2013). So, not sure what the plan (5-2?) was with both Dalton and Collins after Allison graduated.

What does everyone see as Parra's role as the season moves along? Is she going to be phased out as the rotation shortens, or will her role expand to include more front row rotations? Or will it remain basically as it is, primarily a back row player to keep her invested in the program and utilizing her serve?

Or will it remain basically as it is, primarily a back row player to keep her invested in the program and utilizing her serve? This is hard to say, it all depends on the development of some of the girls, and the offense moving on… If Fields can get that backrow attack down and better at passing we can see her not be utilized… If Parra’s attacking gets better we can see Fields moved to the right and Parra staying in If Cabello develops more and they decide to run the 6-2 then Parra will stay in If SKT plays this season and they run the 6-2 she would stay in… atp it’s hard to actually tell

She has played well enough to keep doing what she’s doing. Until the setting the MB gets to where it was last season the Texas serve is what separates them from other top teams. She has 7 of the 37 aces 4 games in, she needs to improve running through the reception. Right now she doesn’t look comfortable when she has to move to the ball or chase it. Would be good to see some back row attacks when she is there just to keep the offense balanced and less predictable. I’m sure she would like to play 6 rotations but it’s hard to replace Skylar or Molly on the front row.

Unless there’s an injury or someone is having an off match, Parra is playing the role she will play. Sky wasn’t hammering the ball down as usual against Stanford and Jerritt kept the front row line up the same. She may get the YBG treatment if we go down 2 sets, but I don’t see her breaking through at this point.

Hey, nellynel, just wanted to give you a quick welcome to the board and say I love all 6 of your posts. Maybe you already posted here under a different handle, but in case that's not true I'm glad you're here. Look forward to reading your input on all the different teams throughout the season.

I've always thought one of the best positional players in recent history was Anni Albrecht (sp?) at Nebraska. She held down that back row up until she finally got the chance to play in the front row. I'm hoping Parra has a similar experience, she's definitely much better than AA in the serving game. I still think JG needs to give her more opportunities to hit out of the backrow, especially on a free ball because I'm sure most of the blockers are camping out on Eggleston.

Has it been confirmed if Parra will stay for 3 more years?

How do you confirm something like that? Going by her face and body demeanor during games she looks like she's about to transfer out at any moment. That's not fair, because that's just how she is, but even if someone said, "yes, it's been confirmed she's staying 3 more years" I wouldn't believe it until it happened.

Just wondering if she has done any of those replies/stories whatsoever because that's where the speculation started. Parra tends to be interactive with her fans and very honest.
