I was at the Texas Spring game and was impressed with Jayln Gibson. Not sure how much time she will get but she stood out in the match. Wonder who will play RS? Yes, Gibson played mostly at OPP in 2022. I was unable to watch the Purple/White game, but she was a stud OH in high school so she definitely can play both. |

oh, i just had Adams and Parra on the outside and Nalls on the right side locked in in my head for whatever reason. all playing 6ro and helping in SR, although Parra and Nalls are the better of the passers, by a wide margin iirc Agreed based on my eye test, although I do not have passing numbers (Adams was often subbed out for Raiola or DS in backrow) |

Chuck Curti has written a TCU feature that will post on VolleyballMag.com in a few days. Can't wait! |

My thoughts are posted below OP- still a work in progress... That was a fun read! Why hypnotoad? Is there a story there or just being fun/silly? Don’t mind either way, but if there’s a story I want to hear/read it! Why is Parra infamous, lol? Again, fun write up. Starting out with Minnesota and Wisconsin again. Badgers are going to be out for revenge! Really good early season tests! |

i'm curious if parra will start or get quality playing time this season? If she doesn’t start there will be pitchforks and torches. Nothing personal, Horned Frogs. I’m honestly expecting a Pilar Victoria at Arkansas type impact. Please let this be true, but with ton of aces thrown in for good measure! |

These articles/videos do a better job of explaining hypnotoad than I could, lol: www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/sports/ncaafootball/hypnotoad-tcu-michigan.htmlwww.cbsnews.com/texas/news/what-is-the-hypnotoad-the-viral-tcu-sensation-thats-been-present-all-football-season/And for Parra, I was mainly referencing her social media presence/following. Her name recognization for someone that has had a limited on-court impact in the past year is fascinating. I'm rooting for her as a Texas fan, and I am certain that many will only keep up with TCU because of her. I mean TCU's volleyball instagram page is consistently flooded with Parra-related comments, hence my choice of infamous. Maybe an exaggeration? Lol |

looks like the only info we've got (unless someone was there) was TCU taking sets 3 and 4 -23 and -19
