Going from Lilley to Sedwick is going to be a culture shock for sure A culture shock? More like a location shock ... those perfectly delivered sets right in her wheelhouse will go from 90% to 10%. |

Washington is also a good school for that, IIRC. Yes, UW has a top communication disorders program. I do wonder though if she applied for the UW program as well but ultimately chose Baylor. Was Avery recruited by UW like Madi was? Or was she recruited by Wisconsin? |

Skinners are the daughters of former Baylor hoopster, Brian Skinner. So, I'm sure they've been to Waco plenty of times.

Omazic from Mizzou is also in the portal now. Coming back from a knee injury, but helps somebody big for sure.

Her getting named first team AA a few years ago was all the world needed to prove that the system is broken. Assists per set is more reflective of how athletic your hitters are than it is a setter’s ability. A player like Pressley sure does hide a lot of other issues with passing and setting. You can’t trap set your hitters every third ball and be a first team AA. The system needs to change. |

You can’t trap set your hitters every third ball and be a first team AA. The system needs to change. I support your war on commonly referenced statistics. My big problem with the assists/set stat is not that it’s necessarily more reflective of athletic hitters, it’s that it favors setters on teams who win a lot more. Generally speaking, most teams will accumulate about half (maybe a little more or less) of their points from kills that are assisted by the setter. If your team averages 25 points/set, your setter will probably be around 12.5 A/set. If the team averages around 20 points/set, the setter might be around 10 A/set. Additionally, a setter’s own kills/set is something that can take away from their Assists/set number, too. But maybe the teams that win more usually have the better setters so, while the stat might be awful, it’s actually identifying most of the correct people. Unfortunately, there isn’t a great statistic to take its place. A team’s hitting percentage is also very dependent on the quality of hitters, but likely more significant to the quality of setter. Of course, that has other flaws because we all know the setter won’t be responsible for setting up every attack. |

My big problem with the assists/set stat is not that it’s necessarily more reflective of athletic hitters, it’s that it favors setters on teams who win a lot more. It can do both. In 2019, Cincinnati's setter led the country in assists per set because she had Jordan Thompson on her team, not because she was actually good at setting (I watched enough of the Bearcats to know this was primarily because of Thompson). I do agree with you about the frustration with volleyball stats (judging liberos by digs/set is also problematic, among others). I wish the better stats on VolleyMetrics were publicly available. |

Amen! I think it would really help people have a much better understanding of the sport too. Especially liberos, people would have a better idea of who is actually pretty solid. People’s reputations for best libero may transition to “fun to watch defensively” if better stats were around to paint a better picture |

Typed a long response to this, but let it sit too long, and got logged out. tl;dr: I agree, and have no idea what a better metric would look like, cuz even set location isn't a good metric since setters like Gabriel often set the ball too tight on purpose because she has Eggleston and Fields who can just jump up, and abuse the block, and Fields absolutely crushed a few of those sets against Kentucky but then again Gabriel also set the ball completely over the net to the other side twice so it's a trade off thing but yes when Sedwick sets the ball too tight it's basically a death sentence ok! |
