The Devin K fan club is quite large in size. I think a lot of fans are rooting for her but unfortunately, she is on a team that is loaded and when fall comes, she will probably be in a reserve role again. I think she needs to think long and hard on whether she wants to spend another year(3rd year) being a reserve or move on to a team where she can get 20-30 swings a match and be a “go to” type of player. If she chooses to stay and again get caught behind all the big time players she will only have one year to play and one year to make an impact. That kinda rough when she was a top 10 player coming out of HS. isn’t the portal closed? yes, the portal is already closed...& everyone seems to forget she's a good beach player & gets playing time (the beach team will be competitive next season & they have the ability to play in the post-season)...maybe she's 😊

It’s clear she is not going to transfer

100% understand. Spring ball, summer exhibitions etc. are things to talk about, but also, reading some of these comments (before watching), made it sound like Texas was "impressive" against a team of some sort of equal footing, and that's just nowhere near the case here. Comments: "Dev's line shot is so money", "Devin's line shot is ridiculous!", "Devin is seeing the block well and hitting with confidence, especially her line shot." "Devin looks amazing!, "Dev looking so good", ""oh devin! that line!", ....yet when you watch it, Devin K. was literally hitting at a window of about 2-3 feet for almost all of her line shots with no hands in front of her. She wasn't doing anything that tons of D1 pins wouldn't also be able to do. The Devin K fan club is quite large in size.

Texas non-fans,
In order to build up your team, you don't have to spend time on our thread tearing down our team. Let it go.

Yeah, but this trip is less about the competition and more about the experience traveling overseas together. As fans it’s about the long wait for the regular season to start up. This will be nice filler until recruiting starts up June 15 and then fall practices start. With Skinner at VNL, Swindle’s broken nose, and Whitney Lauenstein recovering, there’s a lot of opportunities for other players to see a lot of time on the floor. It sure was interesting to me to see Kahahawai try her hand at a jump serve. I’m not sure we’ve seen one of those since Micaya White was delivering her feast or famine serves. 100% understand.

There’s almost nothing more annoying on this board than when you’re excitedly watching one of your faves and appreciating their game and here comes someone that just has to remind you that they’re playing an inferior opponent. Obviously Dev hitting against an U19 team and Madi hitting against Thailand isn’t the same as facing the best players in the world. We do not care lol The shots still look impressive and we are entertained. It’s okay to just enjoy stuff for what it is.

Getting a hint that Madi will be joining the team in Europe.

Apparently today's opponent is a significant step up in talent. I've read where there's speculation this club could win VNL if their players were competing en masse.
