am i the only one who felt like they were implying this was Molly’s last season at Texas. I know she’s not but it just read that way to me. Like she won’t be back for the 2023 indoor season. It was worded weird. But then again, according to the article there’s only one player who plays 6 rotations on an indoor team. I just chalked it up to the writer not knowing what she’s talking about. And beach could very well be Molly’s last hurrah...next year. I agree, she is quoted as saying it will help our indoor game which leads me to believe she still has more indoor volleyball to play at Texas.

A pretty good article "for the Statesman"
Don't be messin' with Danny Davis. That man is a treasure. I know he didn't write this article, but he's the main writer for UT women's sports. I love that guy. You implied I said something I did not.

You implied I said something I did not. You may not have meant it, but when you say “a pretty good article...FOR the Statesman” it’s pretty easy to interpret that to mean the Statesman doesn’t produce many good articles. If that’s not what you meant by it, so be it. I don’t much care either way. But let’s not pretend your post can’t be interpreted that way. I don’t feel like you took any direct shots at Danny Davis or his coverage of the team, but I don’t feel like an overt defense of him was completely out of place, either. If you meant something different, feel free to clarify, but my post wasn’t actually intended as a personal attack towards you. I don’t care that much. I just like Danny Davis and what I perceive of him having done for the program with his coverage. Going a little out of my way to mention it has a lot less to do with you, and a lot more to do with me and my feelings about it.

I would like to take the time to Stan to Johnson and what she’s doing at lsu for one second. How she made the tournament after losing bannister and Deberg is wild and the off season pick ups have been big

How she made the tournament after losing bannister and Deberg is wild and the off season pick ups have been big Glad she’s getting another shot to run her own program at her alma mater. Well deserved. Along that note, here’s an article regarding Haley Eckerman’s first season as the head coach for Kent State. Not quite as good as Tonya Johnson’s, but still something to build on. kentwired.com/89066/latest-updates/haley-eckermans-first-year-shows-volleyballs-potential-for-next-season/There’s still a part of me that wonders if there’s a chance to bring her back to Texas as an assistant. Don’t know the chances or if it would be the right thing for everyone involved, but the fan side of me would love it.

I'm hearing that Molly is using her final year at Texas to only play beach...

I'm hearing that Molly is using her final year at Texas to only play beach... Are you hearing this because of the wording in the Statesmen article or is it coming from an unrelated source?

i guess i'm confused about the molly situation...she only has one more year of eligibility of indoor & 2 years of eligibility of beach (that includes this year in beach)...so if molly were to use all her eligibility both indoor & beach she would finish with beach next spring (2024)

I'm hearing that Molly is using her final year at Texas to only play beach... I don’t believe that even for a second. I just think people are reading the article wrong. Well, or they’re reading it right, and the article was poorly written. The ONLY way that’s possible is if Elliott took her aside and had a frank conversation with her about his feelings of Kahahawai being the better starting option on the right side. Which I also don’t believe. She can still play beach next year regardless. I think that’s a way more likely interpretation of what was written in the article. Having said all that, her playing only beach does open up another scholarship, and I was completely and utterly wrong about the chances of David Hunt leaving his head coaching job at Pepperdine to be an assistant at Texas (I was saved by an insider that took mercy on me). So maybe I’m completely wrong about this. But to me she’s WAAAAAY too valuable a member of the team for Elliott to do anything to push her out. She just had an incredible experience winning a national championship. Why in the world would she pass on the opportunity to play another year and defend it? None of it makes sense to me other than the article got it wrong. But enough posts on volleytalk and you know we’ll get some kind of social media clarification about it. So I guess we’ll see.

I don’t think there is. I think there’s an AAS reporter situation.
