It’s a fun environment. I’ll be at the match on Friday. First time in a long while. Regardless of the result, I hope you have a great time in Austin, and enjoy your time at the match. Thanks!

So I was just playing with this barfight replica championship ring again, and noticed an inscription I didn't see/share before Love that Baby Spice made it onto the ring as a freshman.

Kinda strange that Avery Skinner went with Baylor and not Kentucky. . . I know she did her COVID grad year at Baylor, but Kentucky is where she won a Natty and I thought she left on good terms? [insert sideeye]

[insert sideeye] It’s most likely bc that was her last college attended, nothing more. It could also be that she actually loved it there more and has family ties there bc of her dad.

Loved your post IIRC Skinner said she came to Texas because JE promised to train her as a 6ro OH. So I'm not too sure how likely the chance of her moving to OPP is My belief is that JE is transparent to all his players, either HS or college transfers. He tells them, how he's going to play them and then they decide if they are willing to keep on that path. Some of these are from interviews of players incoming or departing the program and are guesses on my part and my opinions, not facts:
1. Jhenna Gabriel - told her she could walk on as a setter/DS, but that Ashley Shook was going to be his featured setter. He would give her a chance, but not give her the lead.
2. Skylar Fields - told her that she would start off as 3-ro and then a few years into it might start sliding her into 6-ro. During the first two years, he would give her some sets as 6-ro, but it wouldn't be permanent unless he saw something special. I believe he finally told her that, no, he didn't see her being 6-ro while at Texas and then she packed her bags for elsewhere.
3. Madi Skinner - told her that Logan was the 6-ro player and that she would have to wait until after Logan finished her final year before he would start her at 6-ro. Sure, she got some time in as 6-ro, but when her skill set wasn't up to par, he started DS'ing her. And, he promised her she wouldn't be relegated to OPP. Skinner has said she only went to OPP in order to get off the bench and get any playing time while she was at Kentucky. OPP is not her preference, although she's good at it.
4. Jenna Wennas - I think he gave same type of promise he did to Fields. I'll give you some sets as 6, but no promises. After the first game at LBSU, I think it was obvious she couldn't be a 6-ro this year.
5. Devin Kahahawai - He knew while he was recruiting her that Molly was coming back for her COVID year as Molly gave him a 2 years heads up. I remember him announcing that in the Point Texas club. So, I'm hoping he told her that if she came to Texas she might not get a real starting spot until Molly was done.
There have been some surprise departures, like Lexi Sun after only her first year. That tells me that she was told she'd get strong consideration as 6-ro but her defense wasn't getting better and she started getting subb'ed out and she decided a new coaching staff would improve her 6-ro prospects. And then ironically.........
