So what do we think about Tuozzo vs Beavin at libero? Tuozzo is more athletic but both are really good options at libero. Not a bad problem to have for Skinner.
Kentucky still has to clean up their passing and find a lot more offense at the right side and middle slide if they want to beat penn st, Louisville, and other good teams.

I truly feel like they are trying to run Wilson too fast. Her footwork has a different tempo than a Rutherford or Tealer, and they’ll have to work to adjust the set height/speed to allow for that. Maybe it’s her swing, but it feels like she’s had to chop at the majority of sets so far. She kinda reminds me of Brooke Morgan—perhaps not the most athletic but a good block and the potential to be a weapon.

They've been running her off of one foot on slides nearly every time. Idk if this is something they're working on and just trying to get game reps, or if they've decided she's better off 1 foot than 2. If it's the former, I kinda get it. If it's the latter, well, it hasn't borne out in the results so far. To her credit, her block has been very good so far.
Also yeah I think I'd play Tuozzo at libero going forward.

I went back and watched some of the Nebraska game. I don’t think it’s too tight as much as too low. But I could be wrong she might swing like that. I just compared her sets to Beason’s, and Grome set he consistently lower.

Kentucky is going to have their hands full with penn st. after watching the Louisville match. They really need to up their play from the first week if they want to win. Hopefully the home court advantage helps as well.

Tough reverse sweep tonight. You can see the potential at times with this team, but there's plenty of holes it seems like. These are the types of games you just can't slip away like that come seeding time.

I'm here to overreact.
ZERO MENTAL TOUGHNESS. ZERO KILLER INSTINCT. ZERO COMPOSURE UNDER PRESSURE. WE FOLD LIKE A CARD TABLE EVERY TIME.
See y'all tomorrow I guess

But yeah I'm pretty disappointed as well. Middle play has been terrible (shocker) and grome or the coaching has to get her setting better. Just a wildly inconsistent start to the season all the way around.

Going back to exactly what I said after Nebraska match. Grome is under setting both pins and tripping them. The balls are too low and too tight to the net. Our pins can hardly ever go like because they don’t have enough time to turn on it.
Beavin needs to be back in the libero jersey. I love Tuzzo but Beavin has the calm demeanor they need and thought there were multiple plays tonight Tuzzo didn’t make that Beavin routinely makes.
The other MB position is a huge hole. Bultema looks fine and will get better. The other position is not closely blocks, not pressing, not available in transition. I’d give the edge to Washington right now but want to see Hogan in action too.
Maybe we can throw a pin in there like WKU or UGA did with Fischer and hang a two ball for them? One can hope..

Washington and Dailey aren't close to ready. Bultema is fine and will only get better with time. I just can't believe we don't have better options. Craig really needed to convince Goetzinger or Williams to stick around or at this point put Hogan out there for a try. And Grome just has to be better plain and simple. This is her 4th year starting and she has tons of accolades. We need elite setting out of her and that hasn't happened out the gate. Idk if it's changes Ben has brought or what, but something has to give it's been way too messy.
