Start Ella. Make her set flat-footed. Burn Whitney’s redshirt and start her. Take some pressure off of Madi. DS Whitney in the backrow with whichever DS provides the best ball control and defense (NOT Jenna). Start the Opposite(Reagan or Devin) who hits off of Ella the best. Problem solved! I would also be okay with this but I feel like it’s not an option re: Whitney and Ella flat foot setting sadly

Elliott is going to have to win a couple more national championships before he's immune to the early season second guessers.
I'm including me in there, btw.

It’s not so much setting as Elliot not utilizing the talent he has

This could very well be my Ella bias but it’s like we’re Baylor last year. We can’t close out or keep any momentum during a set. And I honestly don’t think it’s all Averi’s fault but there is no fire from this team at all. I’m just disappointed 😔

It feels like we lose focus as a team. Obviously Madi had a bad game, but the middles had a lot of unforced errors. I remember a couple times where both Mari and Ayden slammed the ball 3 feet out of bounds on the exact same shot horns were too predictable

Yall started slow last year mainly cuz of Eggleston departure but finished strong all the way to a chip…starting slow again this year cuz of Oneal and Molly leaving…but i think lack of leadership and identity is the problem…

Help me out as I am still learning the game here—the coach cannot approach the up official- the team captain has to do that. What was the difference when-I believe the 4th set- the Miami coach yelled across court to the up official and they went back and forth?

I was waiting for the yellow card to come out. JE does this A LOT. Reference the NC game and the yellow (David Hunt with up judge), then Red card (JE with down judge).

And typical with rookie middles, lots of net touches. I remember a very long rookie year with Brionne Butler constantly brushing the net.

Did we have even 1 setter dump the entire night? Gotta make the blockers hold to open up the pins. Was hoping so bad to see a Swindle special when she got in.
