Out of curiosity, what happens to scholarships when a player redshirts? Assuming they were on a 4-year deal, does that mean they get a 5th year of scholarship too?

I don’t like this approach though. I’d much prefer and feel less anxious if we had 3 true setters. Moving a DS over to a full-time setter is a little risky (if anything were to happen to Swindle or Crownover). Additionally, it wouldn’t give Crownover any competition in the gym if she’s the only main backup setter. Lastly, I think the 3rd setter we pick up needs some height. They don’t need to be the best blocker, but SKT height over Gabriel’s made a huge difference. OMG the 2022 Northwestern and TX Tech scenarios give me heebie jeebies Knock on wood, but when was the last time we had two setters miss the same match?

Molly could bump set us to a victory or two. I’m confident.

The roster is pretty stacked with youth and experience, outside of a 2nd setter I’m not sure how much Texas would actively be looking. But the portal has taught to expect the unexpected. I would definitely feel more comfortable with three setters but I imagine JE has Akana in his back pocket a la Claire Hahn. Akana has good enough hands to come in a set if/when she needs to. Looking at last year's stats, the top 5 in assists (sets) for Texas were:
Saige - 1,100 Zoe - 112
Jenna - 47 Keonilei - 35 Emma - 21
And when JE went into the Devin defensive switch late in a set, Keonilei was the setter. So, it's been done already.

I’m convinced Marina and Akana could run a nasty 6-2. Okay? Okay.

FYI I got sent a save-the-date for the volleyball gala on Sept 1st. It looks like they are looking for volunteers, in case anyone wants to attend without the hefty admission

I rebuke any mention of a 6-2. I’d rather we do a 7-0 and just have whoever is closest to the ball after the pass set the closest hitter they can find. I’m serious.
