Georgia's 6 is OH1 Muoneke OH2 Lovett OPP Harper S Brower M1 Fischer M2 Gooch
But how tough would this lineup be. I'd argue that's the second best lineup in the SEC behind UF. OH1 Muoneke OH2 Lovett OPP Fischer S Brower M1 Kemp M2 Gooch

OH1 Skinner OH2 Wenaas (but there's also like 4 other lefts over 6'3) OPP1 Rutherford OPP2 Lauenstien S1 Swindle S2 Carlson Don't know anything about the Middles. Ames and Singletary? Ya, that lineups alright...

Ya, that lineups alright... IIRC Ames is the top recruit (at least the top middle) in the 2024 class. She switched her commitment from Nebraska to Texas shortly before NSD. Singletary will be a redshirt sophomore and was also a top recruit out of high school. O'Neal, Caffey, & Bergmark kept her from playing much her first two years. Both middles looked very good in the spring.

There’s also middle Nya Bunton, the Kentucky Gatorade POY out of Manual HS in Louisville. She has been injured, and we don’t know her status other than she didn’t play last year as a freshman, and she didn’t participate in the spring. She’ll be a redshirt freshman.
Texas tried to recruit Leyla Blackwell out of the transfer portal but she chose Nebraska instead. This means the 3 middles are a redshirt sophomore with limited playing experience, a true freshman, and a redshirt freshman who may or may not still be injured in the fall. Plenty of talent, but short on experience.
Texas always has a loaded roster, but it’s been more loaded than normal the past couple of years because of success in recruiting and especially the portal. The B team would be a legitimate NCAA tournament team. Devin Kahahawai is a regular national team participant as a right pin but she’s now a junior at Texas and can’t crack the starting lineup. Jordan Byrd was another Gatorade POY from Florida who can leap out of the gym with an extraordinarily heavy arm, but redshirted last year, and it’s unclear when or how she’ll see playing time.
I’m honestly shocked we’re not seeing any exits so far into the portal from the Texas roster. Especially from Kahahawai. I’m also shocked Carlson chose Texas to transfer to as a setter given Swindle just led the team to a national championship as a true freshman, but here we are.

Both middles looked very good in the spring. Singletary has got a lot of pent-up arm anger at waiting two years to start. Sometimes, she dents the floor with her arm. Her blocking is slowly coming along to the Texas standard for blocking by middles. The good news is she's got the freshmen "net" issues out of the way that first year starters seem to suffer.
She's the gal from S.C. whose dad drove her many hours a day (in IG) into Georgia just for her club practices. Practices!

And here is a stab at 2025, including Vandy Alabama: MS State, Auburn Arkansas: Oklahoma, Mizzou Auburn: Alabama, Florida Florida: Auburn, SC Georgia: SC, Kentucky Kentucky: Tenn, UGA LSU: TAMU, Ole Miss Mizzou: Arkansas, Vandy Miss State: Ole Miss, Bama Oklahoma: Arkansas, Texas Ole Miss: MS State, LSU South Carolina: UGA, FL Tennessee: UK, Vandy Texas: TAMU, OK Texas A&M: Texas, LSU Vandy: Tenn, Mizzou I would think the league would have to increase to 20 conference matches at this point.

If the goal is to have all the teams playing one another at each other’s arena, that might be true. If the goal is maximizing RPI, getting as many teams in the tournament as possible, and maximizing the seed, then fewer is better. They’re only playing 16 matches. I wouldn’t mind seeing a lower number.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a lower number. What is your reasoning why fewer SEC matches is beneficial? If the SEC is going to be a strong league, wouldn't you want to play more conference matches to boost the RPI? Especially for schools that play weak/er non-conference opponents.

If the SEC is going to be a strong league, wouldn't you want to play more conference matches to boost the RPI? Especially for schools that play weak/er non-conference opponents. Because of the way the math works out re the RPI inputs (25% win/loss record, 50% opponent win/loss record, 25% opponent of opponent win/loss record), you get a higher potential value by having as big of a diversity of opponents of opponents as possible. (small scenario) - if Team A plays teams B, C, and D, but those teams also play each other, the resulting opponent record in RPI for Team A can only be .500 because among the matches between teams B, C, and D, someone is going to win and someone is going to lose, but since BOTH teams are on on Team A's schedule, Team A's RPI takes into account both the win and the loss. If Teams B, C, and D never play each other, it allows Team A to ONLY factor in a win or a loss. A greater diversity of opponents of opponents means it’s a higher chance you only factor in your opponents WIN rather than the win and the loss. Putting MORE conference matches into the equation means that .500 conference opponent record has a greater impact/weight on your overall opponent record, and one of the goals to maximize RPI is for your opponent record to be as high as possible since it’s 50% of the RPI.

The SEC released conference opponents for men's hoops today; will release for women's hoops tomorrow.
Those sports begin play like 2-3 months after women's volleyball.

Akasha Anderson, AUB transfer, headed to Michigan State. Seems to be a little farther removed from the ncaa tournament there than AUB.
