I was really impressed with Rothe tonight! Rothe was good! And there is a real opportunity for our middles to be serious contributors. I was kind of out on Amaya Thomas and she proved me wrong. She can score and I like her energy. I think Parks will have run to a more balanced offense until Kennedy is back.

She can play anywhere, really, but it’s interesting to consider her at opposite and moving KMart to the L1. I-Mart has been impressive - very steady. Sadly, AC isn’t it, and seems Harden isn’t first off the bench. Taylor is a special setter. Her hands are outstanding - reminds me of Gabby Blossom. I think once Essix is back the trio of her, Auguste, and Thomas can carry them.

I read the write up on floridagators.com, no mention of K-Mart's injury. Did Mary address it at all anywhere?

She is a top notch player in the middle and in the RS

Well here is my opinion of the Gators team, based on the first two games. Obviously is very unfortunately that our best player got injured, but this games without Kennedy Martin will force the rest of the team to step up to the game that is needed.
OH- Isabel Martin is a very complete player, her pass is decent, she can block and defend very well. They need to keep her as a 6 rotation player and work in her pipe attack, then she will be lethal from the back as well, her volleyball IQ is big and when Kennedy get back, we will have a top notch 1 and 2 options. AC needs to improve her game ASAP, we need her now more than ever. I think the coaches should give Lauren Harden the chance to play more, she have a hammer and is at least 5 inches taller that AC. Her passing is not the best, but I’m sure she can improve. AC is doing to many errors in serve and attacks as well. We need her in order to complete in the SEC games.
MB- We definitely have top notch middles. Alec is a beast and I’m sure she will be at Alhassan level very soon. Jaela is a very athletic player, she reminds me Obagu game when I see her playing. I was very pleased with Thomas game last night, it looks she is finding her game finally. Now Rothe playing RS is going to help the game that Florida was trying to do with her playing middle and RS like Dixon did last year.
Setter- for me Taylor Parks is doing a superb job. She is a very talented and good setter for sure. Her IQ is very good and she is doing the job for sure. I’m afraid that when Stucky get back healthy, having her in the bench could be a problem of transferring looking for more time to play, she easy could be regular in any other team.
DS-Libero- here is a problem for Florida. For me they still not playing st the level that they should. When your RS and setter make almost the same amount of defenses as your libero you have a problem. McKissock still can defend and dig balls in the zone 5, and when the other DS is in the game, they cross each other smh. Also the DS passing is not fully there.
Having so many key players injured is not a desirable way to start a very long season. For me next year Mary should look for having more hitters ready in the bench, instead of having 8 DS that actually can’t do much for the team. I wish to see more play time for Harden and if Gravlee get better, would like her to have some playing time too.
Next year 2025 we have another middle and 2 DS coming. I understand the middle because this is Essex last year, but 2 DS really don’t know why. We need players that can hit the ball
Go Gators.
