They lost a bunch of players, including arguably their best player who is now a Longhorn. I strongly feel like Tennessee will be more in a rebuilding mode next season, but we’ll see. I will be shocked if they’re anywhere near as good this year as they were last season. Kubik and Cajic could end up being a better pin duo than Moore and Lovett were last year. Kerr is underrated and should be better. I think Yelianiz is the biggest loss after Finghall.
They should still be top half of the conference.
I still don’t think they’re going to be a host team, or compete for the SEC title. At least this next season. I’m also not saying they can’t beat Texas. The Longhorns lost to Iowa State and Kansas State the last two years. They could certainly lose to Tennessee. But neither Iowa State nor Kansas State were close to competing for the Big 12 title in those years. Similarly, I don’t think Tennessee will be in a position to compete for the SEC title this coming year. That’s not the same as saying they’ll be a conference cellar dweller, because I think they’re past that as a program. But the question was am I concerned as a Texas fan about Tennessee challenging Texas for the SEC title next year given that they took Texas to the brink of elimination in Palo Alto in the tournament, and the answer to that is an unequivocal no.

Texas got 14 first place votes Florida got the other first place vote
The Top4 is good- I would’ve swapped Tennessee & Texas A&M. A lot of key pieces are gone from last Years lady vol team
I think the poll as a whole has everyone slotted in their correct spot

Some notes
1. Isn’t Lednicky a junior?
2. It’s kinda funny how despite entering college together at Kentucky in fall 2020, Skinner, Fischer and RR all are ending their careers with different classifications (5th, Redshirt Senior, Senior) Just missing a “Gradate/Gr.” to complete the collection
3. Selections by school
4 - Texas 3 - Kentucky 2- Florida, A&M 1- Tenn, Missouri, Ole Miss, LSU, UGA, Auburn, Arkansas 0- Alabama, Miss St, SCar, Oklahoma,

I think the pre-season poll makes a lot of sense. I think the Tennessee-Mizzou-TAMU block is basically a pick 'em, and it'll be interesting to see whether any of the next three (Arkansas-LSU-Auburn) can push through.

I’m putting this out there. Jade Demps will be an SEC all American despite not being on the pre season list. Not that she deserves to be on the pre season based on anything, I just know this will be the year she shows the world what I know to already be true. Geaux Jade!

So, Stucky did get granted a red-shirt last year even though she did play? I hope she is healing well. I agree about Swindle, too. I’m kind of surprised that they both landed on the pre-season list, as Texas brought in another excellent setter and I haven’t heard much about Stucky’s recovery. We shall see. I think the rankings will change up once the season gets underway, too. Lots of vb to be played!!!

The formula is whether someone has played in less than 30% of the season’s games/matches, rounded down. Florida went 19-10 last year, so 29 matches. 29 X .3 = 8.7, so the limit is 8 matches. If she played in more, no medical redshirt. She played in less, it’s rubber stamped at the league office.

18 players seems like way too many, including 5 setters.
3 players from the state of South Carolina, but none play for the Gamecocks . . .

Only three six rotation left sides on this list...crazy. It would be cool to see more six rotation opposites come out of the NCAA, but sadly I think Rutherford will see limited backrow time, Iliff is going to be relegated back to front row only as Missouri goes to a 6-2, and Texas A&M is staying in a 6-2.
