Here's the recap from the match vs Alabama State. It includes some stuff I asked Rita about earlier in the week about schedule construction. It's a little different philosophy than Dave's. Dave always stressed the idea of scheduling to go 11-1 or 11-0 to help conference RPI--unless you were a top team. Rita acknowledges that,but it’s definitely not her guiding principle. Teaching moments are what she cares about. That means playing 5 teams in Figstats top 51 and only 1 outside the top 200. Frankly, Arizona fans were excited about the schedule and seem mostly OK with the lumps that come with it. I prefer it, too. As for making your schedule to benefit others in the conference, screw it. Conference "loyalty" doesn’t exist, especially now. Do What's best for your team. To hell with everyone else. www.azdesertswarm.com/volleyball/2023/9/16/23876660/arizona-volleyball-alabama-state-overmatched-mistakes

Ouch. Losing faith in your wildcats? well, it used to be top 4/middle 4/bottom 4, but only one of those options seems realistic at this point. idk if we find a way to finish over Utah, Cal, Oregon State, one of USC/UCLA. thought this would actually garner more parody in the votes. I do think there’s a chance we can get above Utah and Oregon State, but we tend to sh¡t the bed against Utah, so im banking on us beating Oregon State (and possibly Cal being a massive fraud)

Here's the advance for this week's matches. I talked to freshman Giorgia Mandotti, who has taken over as Arizona's libero. At the end, I have comments from Rita about both of the matches. I also have something about the new commit coming out in a bit. I will post the link after it is published.

Idk how to feel about Maya. Agree with the developmental angle which seems to be par for the course with AZ recruits.
