I strongly think the 6-2 is not the way to go for texas. akana needs to be a mainstay without them having to worry about sub trouble imo, pretty sure she was the best passer on the floor in the natty Can she not DS for Wenaas and play middle back? thats why I said without them getting into sub trouble. if sets are tight enough, akana won't be subbed in with the 6-2 and whoever she's subbing for will have to go 6 rotations with a 5-2 or 5-1, JE could be almost entirely sure that he won't need worry about whether or not he can use akana. also because skinner is the L1 and swindle is big threat at the net, I dont think more pin production is going to be what they need most. when you have arms like skinner and rutherford already, id be trying to ensure the best passing and defense I can to put them in more favorable positions - the most obvious would be staying in system

Maybe Ella can’t continually afford to jump and block on her ankle but I don’t think I’d bench my national championship winning freshman setter. A 6-2 is just logical given the injury and the talent he’s been able to acquire. Is a 6-2 necessarily the most elite and competitive rotation to run at a high level, probably not, but depending on Ella’s injury but still taking into account her and the program’s development. It might be the move for next year

I'm not sure Texas can get by with just 1 DS This doesn’t make sense. Why would you need 2 DS’s in a 6-2, no one in their right mind is taking skinner off the court That's my point. You can't have more than one DS in a 6-2, heck you can barely have the one without worrying about subs. I don't think 1 DS is gonna have Texas' backrow where they need/should want it to be.

we'll take the nice fans from other fanbases that want to transfer to us too We welcome everyone with open arms🫣[/quoter] No thanks. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon for the latest frontrunner. What's the point of fandom?

Nah. We're clearly out of schollies at this time. . . I'm guessing the numbers for Rutherford and Carlson only work because they are in-state students and NIL can cover it I just do not see how the NCAA can continue to allow schools to go outside scholarship limits. If you can expand scholarship limits/money with NIL money then scholarship limits should shift to maximum allowed rosters. Need to enforce limits or they mean nothing. That’s what I don’t get. Could a rich parent just donate $1,000,000 to the program and the program use it as NIL money and distribute to the players or where can I read rules to NIL money? Seems like little professional teams are being made. I like Texas but this is not going to help the growth of volleyball as only 3 teams will even be able to compete.

Schools can't touch or distribute NIL money. But as I understand it a rich parent could definitely donate that much to a collective dedicated to the school. As I understand it a Nebraska donor donated $5 million to their school's collective, which is set up to distribute $500,000 per year to the students on the team.

And I mean, if you’re already up 20-11 which they will likely be more often than not, I’m sure they’ll make do
