Heck, LSU might not even end up above .500. They're 8-10 and need to go 6-4 against UK, SCar 2x, Ole Miss, Bama, UF, UT, Auburn, UGA, and Miss St.

How are my LSU peeps feeling about Year 2 of Coach Johnson? I know there was a ton of excitement about Demps's arrival and talk of conference championships. What do you think is the problem? I have my own, arm's-length theories, but I'm curious about what actual LSU followers/fans think. Unfortunately all aspects are lacking compared to last year. With hitting, other than Robinson and Anwusi, everyone has been pretty disappointing. I don’t understand the slump that Dotson is in this season. She was pre-season All SEC for a reason, but unfortunately for her she can’t figure it out when she shares the court with Robinson. Her best game this season where she looked like herself was when Jurnee was taken out due to too many attacking errors. Demps has also been a major let down, and as someone had already mentioned, Echter has outperformed her at RS and has taken the position. Serving is a travesty. Way too many service errors match after match. Waak in my opinion is not a setter that can lead a team far into the post-season. I was hoping that Rome would take the role but I guess she’s injured? I think TJ’s biggest mistake in the off-season was not picking up a higher level setter out of the transfer portal. Mitter is not an elite level setter and I think they put all of their eggs in the basket trying to fill in the holes in the first session of the transfer portal, when there were some higher level setters that entered in the second session. Biggest blow to their performance though is without a doubt the passing. With Larkin deciding to only pursue beach and Bohnet not opting in for her fifth year, they completely lost their entire defense from last season. Anderson has promise but needs a lot more time to train, as again, she was not brought in as a libero. Carmichael is better fit as just a DS in the SEC but has the libero experience at Jacksonville State which TJ needed to fill that void knowing Larkin wasn’t continuing. I wish they would give Hemmings more playing time and not just for serving. Overall I’m disappointed with how this season is going as I honestly thought before the season and finding out Larkin wasn’t apart of the squad, we had a chance to perform how Tennessee, Arkansas or Auburn are performing. I agree that TJ needs to rebuild this program from the ground up, and she has some prominent players coming in next season as freshmen, but I think she needs to scrap some of the current players that will probably never see high level of playing time, and hit the portal heavy. I really hope that Jurnee is bought in and doesn’t bail after one season, but I worry with NIL and how much attention she’s getting that she doesn’t try to become an even bigger name at another top program. Strong rumor is Anderson is no longer with team so Carmichael back in libero jersey. Wish her well!! |

I noticed last night that the SEC website has Missouri and Ole Miss's record wrong. They have the 3-2 result wrong, giving Mizzou a loss and Ole Miss a win that should be reversed. |

Last week for Grome's SOW award, the SEC just copy and pasted the blurb from the prior week. Didn't even change out the team names.

Wish her well!! any idea as to why Anderson is no longer on the team? they posted a video on Twitter today and she was missing so I guess that pretty much confirms it |

UT up a set on Mizzou, 25-23 in the first after Mizzou was down 24-19. They could use a big win. MIZ... 🐯

Eve didn't know that you can challenge AFTER a timeout. I've seen it before, so assumed that's always been the rule.
