Our middles are late to the pins most of the time and that’s the real problem 😭 Rookie middles, even though Mari technically played a few points last year. Note that I said points not sets.
And typical with rookie middles, lots of net touches. I remember a very long rookie year with Brionne Butler constantly brushing the net.
The young Brionne flashbacks I've been having!
We've been so lucky to have experience middles the past few years. Sometimes I have to remind myself that even great blockers like Asjia and Brionne looked rough when they first started. Good thing Texas is a team known for developing middles!

The replays take entirely too long. In one play the Texas players were adamant about a review (can’t remember if it was a touch). JE got off the benched and said ‘Oh Fuuudge!’ shaking his head because he knew he was going to be forced to endure another 10 minute review.

You guys are acting like you all got swept 🤣 Reverse sweeps are never fun, but the longhorns will be more than fine

I understand you guys are upset, and rightfully so, but there have been worse losses this season and we're only on week 2. I have no doubt Texas will bounce back.

...as or right now, texas middles are too slow on defense.
Everything else looks pretty good.

Not having that 3rd little is also coming back to haunt them.

We are fine, but, we have a task ahead of us.
Middles have to make more of an impact on defense.
Second balls that didn’t go to setter were better, so that’s good.
Skinner (and Weenas) need to be communicating with the setters about what they’re needing. I would like to see them either ripping more, OR, being a little more crafty on off our OOS plays.
Setters, don’t care who, still need to be bettering the ball and try to isolate their hitters better. I would like to see them holding the middle when they’re front row and then more quick to the outside or middle.
I’m not sure if this is why Skinner is having trouble, but obvi, everyone can key on her on defense. Averi has done well starting with Rutherford and middles but we need more.
