mind you the only reason either of them are playing 6ro is because Emerick didn’t look close to ready in spring/summer if she (or Ramirez!) can step in and outpass and defend better than Jenna, I don’t expect she plays 6ro either. Maybe Jenna plays 6 if we run a 6-2 doubt it, that would mean Akana is completely benched. I imagine that lineup would be Skinner/Wenaas (DS Akana) Mari/Ames Carlson/Rutherford (Swindle/Devin) Halter with Mari serving

as far as we know. she didn’t suit up at all in spring/summer. not confirmed but we assume she’s getting a “pinkshirt” for last season, and a redshirt for this season. back in 2025 to compete for one of the three open pin spots with Skinner, Wenaas, and Rutherford all graduating

If we do end up with Jenna and Madi going 6 rotations, do you think that switches back Madi to L1 since Jenna can hit from the back fairly well? Or does JE still want Madi’s BIC in our 2 hitter rotations?

Not unpopular to me, she’s flown under the radar a bit here but I think she’ll absolutely be a solid add to the backrow. Passes well too imo

She’s one of those bros that isn’t super flashy but is tough as nails. She doesn’t need to fall all over the place to make good digs, she’s just there

She is definitely good enough to be a scholarship libero.

I also expect Whitney to see some court time this season. I’m sure she doesn’t want to sit out for two years. It makes no sense for her to sit out this year. If she doesn’t play till 2025 Then our pins look like this and their eligibility.
Kahahawai - senior (1 year) Lauenstein - junior(2 years) Miller - junior (2 years) Helmers - sophomore (3 years) Byrd - sophomore (3 years) Tomkinson - sophomore (3 years) Vander Wal - freshman (4 years) Spears - freshman (4 years) Gaido - freshman (4 years)
That is ALOT OF PINS. It was nice to see her practicing with Skinner.

I didn’t see the orange and white scrimmage on Texas spring schedule. I’m not sure if this has been discussed but if they do have one, I hope it’s televised. If not on the SEC network then atleast the SEC+ option. Alex Loeb and Shelby Coppedge have called most of our home games including the orange and white scrimmage.

It was nice to see her practicing with Skinner. i thought helmers, byrd & tomkinson would have 4 years left, redshirt year (none of them played their freshman year)...byrd & helmers were injured I think this is the looking at 2025 eligibility, so after this season is over
