g4lvolley how did you come to the conclusion that byrd wouldnt see the floor? even if spears and vander wal both came on campus already better than her somehow, who would be the other pin?? on worrying about helmers and tomkinson, i mean, they knew when they committed that it wasnt ever going to be easy to crack the starting lineup. they saw saw skinner/fields, devin, and byrd and knew that texas would still be recruiting pins behind them too. im not sure i had either of them cracking the lineup in their texas career. only if helmers improved a lot, especially with passing, and maybe tomkinson got into a 3ro opposite role like molly at some point her junior-ish year also maybe she does leave, but miller knew coming where she was on the depth chart. she's an undersized walk on. i'd personally be really, really surprised to see her leave texas before she gets her degree. No, if Lauenstein does transfer, sheβll be a junior. So in 2025 Lauenstein would be a senior and the two freshman pins will be freshman. You know JE prefers transfers over his recruits.

Has Skinner confirmed her 5th year..... ..... π€ at least at UT?
THE TEXAS 12 potential schollies might be different then we're thinking.

Madi did an Instagram live this summer with her siblings, and there was a joke from Avery about Madi going pro after this season. Madi shut that down pretty quickly, scolding Avery and saying something to the effect that it wasn't true. But, that was months ago. People can change their minds, so. . . ?

Now thatβs a longhorn legend. She truly did not get her flowers. She would of played libero if Elliot asked her too. She went wherever she needed, and did her damn best. She was v special and integral in that 2015 and 2016 tournament run. I remember saying that if YBG went off in the 2016 tournament, she could be our X factor.

2024 Texas Volleyball roster 5th years (3) Madisen Skinner 6β2 OH (scholarship) Jenna Wenaas 6β1 OH (scholarship) Keonilei Akana 5β9 L (scholarship) Seniors (0) Juniors (2) Devin Kahahawai 6β4 OH (scholarship) Emma Halter 5β5 L (scholarship) Sophomores (4) Marianna Singletary 6β4 MB (scholarship) Kenna Miller 5β11 OH Marina Crownover 5β10 S Ella Swindle 6β3 S (scholarship) Freshman (8) Ayden Ames 6β4 MB (scholarship) Sydney Helmers 6β4 OH (scholarship) Nya Bunton 6β3 MB (scholarship) Jordyn Byrd 6β4 OPP (scholarship) Auburn Tomkinson 6β5 OPP (scholarship) Reese Emerick 5β8 L Rella Binney 5β10 S Brennan Ramirez 5β8 L Since we already have 12 scholarship players in the team and if the rumors are true that Lauenstein is coming to Texas, someone has to be leaving. If she does come Iβm almost certain starters will be Wenaas/Skinner as OH and Lauenstein as OPP. That means Byrd, Helmers, Miller, Tomkinson may never see the floor then with Spears and Vanderwal enrolling the following year. *sigh* i believe one of the freshman either tomkinson or helmers is not on scholarship

I remember her doing pretty good during regionals in 2016, itβs just Texas couldnβt pull out the close sets against BYU

She seems to be one of the more successful ones, plus there are potential tie-ins with her brother being on campus too

do we know for sure that Skinner, Wenaas, and Akana are all coming back next year to use their covid year or are we just assuming that? Skinner and Wenaas confirmed. Not sure about Akana. where was this posted?

i believe one of the freshman either tomkinson or helmers is not on scholarship Iβm pretty sure itβs Tomkinson Iβve come to the conclusion that you can kind of tell who the walk ons and who scholarship players are. And on the Texas volleyball media page they post who signed. Only scholarship players sign their NLI. Walk ons do not sign. For example, this year it was just Ames. Emerick, Ramirez, Binney did not sign.

Last year after the ISU loss is when JE switched up Logan and Madi... if there's ever a chance he's gonna do it it might be this Sat but tbh I'm not holding my breath girl we lost to Long Beach, Stanford, WSU and now K State. Heβs clearly not open to taking Wenaas off the starting lineup for whatever reason. Tbh I hope Devin leaves because she deserves better than the bs JE pulled last night. Miller too. What ever would we do without Miller?
