I really do hate posting these long messages but here goes. I'm pretty happy overall! Wanna say we hit like .370? 8 or 9 blocks? I tried to take pics of the stats scoreboard throughout the game, but looking through my phone rn I definitely missed like 4 of the girls' final statlines and the final team stats got taken down before i could snap a pic, so just take these with a grain of salt. I thought all our smalls played really well, passed well. Beavin is coming for the LotY she was snubbed last year, and I thought Whitworth played well at libero in 3&4. I feel very confident in all 4 of our DSs, definitely a strength of the team. In general we had some miscommunications that need to be ironed out, but felt like we made plays on D today we didn't make last year. I thought Williams looked nice in sets 1&2, but Goetzinger came out on fire in 3&4. 10 kills, hit .529. Denting the floor. Didn't get any stuff blocks, but felt like she got a good amount of touches. Immediate impact. Bultema looked good! Still not sure she'll crack the rotation, but I love her arm and she had a handful of blocks. Huge potential. Rutherford had a double-double and a pair of blocks, hit .320. She played 6-ro the whole time until about halfway through the 4th and Wilson played front row for her. 3 or 4 backrow attacks, don't remember any of them landing. Just one game, but I think her backrow D has really improved from last year. At OH, Lamb had 10+ kills, hit >.300 iirc. Couple aces too. Wilson was looking pretty impressive until midway through set 2 where she had 3 pretty costly errors in a row. Ended up with 6 kills, hitting .154. And I'm a Brooklyn DeLeye fan. 10 kills, hit .625, and she's got some velocity on her jump serve. At one point she hit a WKU player in the chest with it and the whole crowd collectively went "ooooh" lol. Passing from the pins was a weakness last year, and... it's still a work in progress. I thought all 4 had good and bad moments. Wish I had numbers there. And I thought both Grome and Jenkins looked good! Much better than the spring. I was impressed with Jenkins. 27 assists in 2 sets. Also a few of you all will be happy to know Grome debuted a new jump serve and had 1 ace and 3 misses by about 40 feet lol. (Emma, if you're reading this I love you) That’s an awesome post. I didn’t think of that as long at all. Well said. |

Also if you aren't going to redshirt her then why not give her any time at all. |

lol I don't think "many" posters were predicting DeLeye to start as a 6-rotation player day 1. Hell, most non-UK fans have focused on Bultema way more than DeLeye. But nah wouldn't read into that either because 1) true freshman have been on campus for like 5 minutes and 2) her shoulder was wrapped. I will say if Rebo is playing 6 rotations I would be shocked to see DeLeye also playing 6 rotations. Whitworth is too good. *ducks* I was hoping for 6 ro Deleye I was also one of the "many". In my defense, 1) I did say it was a bold prediction. You can check the archives. 2) This was in December before Wilson transferred, and I backed off that slightly afterwards. 3) It could still happen! Did I say Day 1? I meant Day 31. |

Does Western Kentucky believe in defense orrr ? They actually had a really scrappy D and made some sick plays in the backrow. There were a bunch of times where I was like "how the hell did they keep that off the floor?". I think their block needs some work and also they sent over a ton of free balls. |

I struggle to believe you actually predicted Williams would start with Goetzinger returning and Bultema having the hype lol |
