Whew. A&M. I thought it would go 4.
1. I'm just flabbergasted at the type of passing by Peterson on easy free balls coming over to our side. Ball sent too close to the net or even over.
2. Saw a tall setter, looked to see if it was Cabello and saw "Texas" on the jersey. The default for "Sorry, your jersey is backed up on order from Nike". SKT!
3. And then SKT left in the game after side out. Whoa. My son asked why? I said, she's 6'2", experienced, and stronger than the other setters
4. Read Aggie coache's comments about "Learn to finish" and that made me think of all the other coaches this team has faced this year reciting "Learn to finish" after their losses to Texas. Yeah, serving is iffy. Passing sucks. But the grit to finish off games is there.
5. Morgan, you up?

I do not think serving errors were a top 5 issue in this match, even with 13 of them. The bigger issue was not being able to convert on the ones that made it in. Usually Petersen, Gabriel, and O'Neal are all significant contributors from the service line. Tonight they did nada. I'm not talking about errors versus aces. I'm talking about the team actually scoring points when they were serving. It was all Iosia, Parra, and especially Eggleston. Holy crap was Eggleston effective from the service line. She passed Parra tonight for total number of aces on the season, 17-16. And Iosia's serves practically won set 2 for us. Down 20-16 we get a side out, and then we grab 5 straight points on Iosia's serves to make it 22-20, then closed it out from there. I couldn't agree more about the "finishing" part. There's seriously no lead I consider safe from this team. I feel completely confident this was a one off for Gabriel, Petersen, and O'Neal from the service line. I'm not sold on Petersen as a DS, but I do feel like she brings something to the table when she serves. And O'Neal at times has been the most effective server on the team, even if it doesn't show regarding aces quite as clearly as it does with Parra and Eggleston. This was a frustrating match to watch, but Texas keeps cruising with victory after victory. I guess I just want to see some improvement the way we did last spring post Rice. I'll keep waiting.

2. Wondering what SKT's jersey is going to look like. It's a lot of letters. The font for Eggleston is already pretty small, for SKT's full last name, it would be miniscule or multiple rows. It would be kind of awesome if we did the equivalent of the Brazilian national team and just had "Saige" or "SKT" on it.

I may officially be throwing my endorsement to the SKT for UT setter campaign. After watching Gabriel set the potential NPOY low and tight into trap set after trap set I would like to encourage Jerritt to make a change to another setter-quickly. BTW-I am available for hire as a setter coach. As it seems Texas needs one desperately.

Logan and Skylar are both hitting under .300 8 games in, that’s not all Jhenna but a big part of it. Love her fight and what’s she done for UT but if they want to win a championship I’m not sure the setting is good enough, then you throw the blocking issues. They have half a season to get into tournament form.

But to see 3 years in sets that put hitters in bad positions to tip or hit into the block when the pass is decent is frustrating.

Watching a game gives hints ; but seeing practice and privy to actual coach coach and coach player discussion is needed

All I can observe is it needs to be improved to win a championship. Last year Jhenna set well enough to win a championship, Kentucky just got them out of system slightly better than they could get Kentucky out of system. But right now I see a significant difference between Jhenna last spring and Jhenna now. Losing Morgan is part of it but don’t think that is the only reason.

I think it could hopefully be good that we're not peaking right now, as long as we don't continue to regress. I like what I saw from Saige in limited time after one week of training with the team. There were a few sets that she missed, but there were several sets especially to the left pin where I was sold. I hope we keep seeing more of her and she keeps getting better.

I still can’t get over that one set to Logan (it looked like a true “bic” to me) I think Logan just wasn’t expecting to be that fast, or she just choked and hit it into the block..

The "bic" set is' a quicker tempo set BUT it still has to be the height at which the hitter is at full extension. to set a 6'3" hitter a bic at 8' when she touches 10' is worthless to the hitter. You can be prepared 100% for the set but when you get set something at your armpits it can look like you weren't "expecting" it because.............you weren't expecting that bad of a set.

Did you see the set? Bc Logan most definitely had full extension..
