why not? You have two quality setters, two quality opposites, and Skinner to bail you out on the LS or the bic.... see: any 6-2 team in the last decade! it just doesn’t win you the natty. the 5-1 will work just fine

It can be advantageous to have that in our back pocket if a matchup dictates it.

Wisconsin didn't lose in the final four last year because they were in a 6-2, they lost because they couldn't pass the ball against Texas and their left sides couldn't score out of system against Texas... that has nothing to do with being in a 6-2 - the exact same thing happened to Nebraska in the following match and they were running a 5-1. ANY team that can serve and pass well and have the LS's score out of system can win a national championship, regardless of system. All other things being equal last year in the final four matches but for Swindle/Phillips swapping for a setter and opposite of similar caliber every three rotations, are you suggesting Texas still wouldn't have won? This isn't a Texas thread thing per say, but we've had this convo on volleytalk before. I think the reality is that we just haven't seen enough 6-2's with players of similar caliber as the elite teams to say that 6-2's don't work/don't win NCAA titles. Off the top of my head, I can think of only a handful of elite programs that have even put a 6-2 on the floor that had multiple players of similar skill and caliber as their elite competition - Wisconsin the last couple years, Pitt last year, and Washington in the early 2010's (all of them made a final four doing so)... it's just not much to go on.

Jerritt ran one wire to wire in 2014 with Nicole Dalton and Chloe Collins all the way to the Final Four in OKC. If not for Dalton's injury, that might have continued another season or two. Prior to that, he'd started out the seasons running a 2-setter offense only to settle back to a one setter running the show by the time conference play began. And, he's tinkered with it somewhat not long ago based on Gabriel's lack of height. Bottom line is that Jerritt will run the offense that best utilizes the talent on his roster and gives Texas the best chance to win a national title. I think most would agree that the Setter position is the most talented on the squad this season.

Does anyone know anything about this team? This year in the Slovenian league she they finished second. The level of their league is low, and in the various European cups they are unlikely to win (even in the early rounds). Texas should win easily.
