we aren’t seeing a third little because clearly JE doesn’t think either of Emerick or Ramirez are ready lol. he’s emphasized how a third little has helped us a lot and yet through 2 early losses, we still haven’t seen either of them.
we saw Halter in 2022 after like a singular lost set lol.

I’m not sure it is. the issue is her front row.

My 2 cents. I thought I posted earlier, but I think Carlson is putting up a great consistent ball and makes good choices. When the passes keep us in system the girls are very successful. And when they aren’t she still puts up a good hittable ball. She has had some great defensive digs and her serving seems strong and consistent. I like her. She has as many blocks as some of the pins if I am reading that correctly. So I really don’t think she is a problem there. She isn’t getting tooled. Our middles will get better at reading the defense. They are slow to close the block but I feel like their ceiling is high and offensively they have a lot of range.

This team doesn’t have the fire anymore. It’s more disappointing than frustrating, just kinda sad :/ there are no leaders on this team

I might be in the minority, but in my opinion, our biggest issues have not been defensive (in fact, this seems to be some of the best floor defense I’ve seen from Texas in a LONG time), but offensive. We don’t have anyone that has consistently put the ball down in transition in our two losses. That to me is where someone like Whitney could help us over Wenaas. Especially since Skinner’s BIC has been eh so far - we don’t need to hide her in SR in the back if her back row attack isn’t terminal.

Especially since Skinner’s BIC has been eh so far - we don’t need to hide her in SR in the back if her back row attack isn’t terminal. exactly. I feel like Wenaas’ defense has actually been better than Barnes’ was (granted, Carissa was a FAR superior passer). I don’t even *hate* the idea of using Wenaas as a “little” if need be. we just frankly can not survive with her front row unless we have full faith in Madi to do what she did last tournament again every. single. tournament. match. what’s scary is there’s no Asjia either, so would that version of Madi even be enough to win the natty this season again? I’m not sure. I think I’m becoming more and more team 6-2 which I never thought I’d say. our blocking HAS to be better and we need more offense in transition

As a bright spot for y'all, Akana is playing her best volleyball IMO.
