Much tighter 2nd set. Is the crowd a factor? just in case:

So is it Devin and Singletary that are commits for next year? Devin, Singletary, Emma Halter (libero from Indiana), and there’s a walk-on OH from Justin, TX whose name is escaping me. edit: Kenna Miller. Nice class!

okay I probably missed a discussion on this already, but doesn't anyone know why SKT isn't playing? I have a hard time seeing why she would transfer to Texas unless she was ensured playing time. She could have gone to a number of other programs and started.

She could have gone to a number of other programs and started. she couldn't train with the team until last week. seems like she's getting some playing time in the front row for Jhenna as they integrate her, unsure of where she'll finish in the team's lineup by the tournament though.

I only caught the last set and a half but nalani looked great defensively. Molly should just be nicknamed Misses Consistent or The Terminator because wow is she incredible from right. Melanie and Logan are amazing servers but we knew this. Only saw Saige set a few balls but she sure did telegraph them (to me). Wonder if that’s another thing that keeps Jhenna in front of her for now. The telegraphing also just be the fact she only set like three balls a set and isn’t in the flow of the game. Big block by her though, something we don’t see from Jhenna obviously.

okay I probably missed a discussion on this already, but doesn't anyone know why SKT isn't playing? I have a hard time seeing why she would transfer to Texas unless she was ensured playing time. She could have gone to a number of other programs and started. She was already a starter with Utah. She obviously didn't transfer to get playing time. There's no way she was guaranteed anything. However, as @basil posted she got behind the eight ball a bit compared to other transfers. I don't know what the hold up was, but she wasn't able to enroll at Texas until last week. Because she wasn't enrolled, it really limited what the coaches and team could do with her. It's a little shocking to me she's getting the reps she's getting already. There's a role at Texas for her for sure. One of the key factors in the national championship match against Kentucky last spring was the Wildcats abusing Gabriel's presence in the front row. It was a well played national championship on both sides of the net, so there's probably a dozen factors that ended up being the difference in Kentucky winning it 3-1. That said, Gabriel being 5'6 is obviously something Elliot is keen to address. Not knowing SKT or what went into her decision making, having an opportunity to start at Texas was probably enough for her. Now we'll see how it goes both this year and next.
