- Will any of my middles serve or do I need to drop them all?
- Can Borum dump enough to make up for a lack of talent around her?
- Can we get lucky and have Meg Brown either play 6 rotations or serve/block well enough to convince me to keep her.
- Who is Carson Ledford and why did I draft her?
- Am I wasting Elena Scott's digs on a team that will probably never win digs?
I don’t think Borum played in the scrimmage. Then we can change that one too, hopefully Wiktoria is a stud. |

what are everyone’s concerns heading into the weekend? mine Meh I don’t really have any other than hoping my team blocks well in week 1…. and serves well, Obviously. Re players, that’s what a good add/drop is for. There are so many options for pickups this year, it’s insane. Would also be nice if Rodriguez stays and plays in a 5-1 for Miami. I do get concerned that her stint at opposite for the DR national team will give them options. |

I'm wondering if Texas A&M is still running a 6-2? I can't find any details about the Baylor/A&M exhibition. I'm just wondering if Lednicky is going to serve again and what her impact will be. Also kind of wondering about Kacia Brown and her status. I'm gonna need a really strong serving week, but I brought 10 servers (hopefully), so hopefully I can get most players to contribute.

Will Kerr and Anderson improve the aspects of their game other than assists year over year? Will Cresse keep serving? Otherwise mostly just waiting to see how team transfer will pan out over here lol. |

DROP: Seenane Brewer, OH, New Mexico ADD: Anna Smrek, Opp, Wisconsin Oh my god, did I jinx her? Did I jinx Smrek by grabbing her in the middle of the first set? yes. :/ |

lol why would you waste your time tracking/watching players you surely should NOT be dropping after one match? (mostly I just wanted to see if Angeles would be top spin serving or not and if Hester’s top spin had any more heat on it this season) Angeles had SO MANY service errors last year. Good luck. |

Tori Hester had *90* service errors last season after having 102 the year before. I’m in for a wild season😁 |

Oh, lets add Indiana starting in rotation 1 watch. Haworth's stat line last year was 13.5 % ace 14.3 % error 35.8 opponent GP%. You read that right, opponents were in system 1/3d of the time, and her ace to error ratio was even. The fact that Aird didn't start every set as close to rotation 1 as possible to give Haworth 3, maybe 4 attempts at a serve in any given set is borderline coaching malpractice.

Oooh I can’t wait for the week I unleash all my higher acers Haworth,Bertolino, Seemans, Yarich, Meyers, Harris-Waddy… and y'all don’t know it yet but Rodriguez and Reagor are going to put up the aces too.  If only Maeder made it to my team…. rainbowbadger 🙄 I’m here to reclaim my crown as the queen of aces… last year was a bit pathetic. I only led the league in aces once, and never had a week that was top 10 on the season. Unacceptable. |

Though Rhoda does have quite the serve herself, and perhaps Ammeral joins Haworth and Rodriguez in the lefty ace assassins club. |

ay2013 ’s comment on Angeles’ serving errors made me do a deep dive in my teams ace:error ratio last season because I knew there were some gems Tori Hester: 45a: 90e!!!Rebecca Watkins: 42a:28e Darian Markham: 40a:43e Alyssa Ortega: 39a:22e Brooke Mosher: 38a: 70eNatalie Glenn: 37a: 75eAveri Carlson: 37a: 12e!Elise McGhee: 33a: 72eMaria Clara Andrade: 31a: 73eMelanie Shaffmaster: 31a:26e Angeles Alderete: 30a:47e Tina Grkovic: 25a:39e Madi Malone: 23a:22e Meg Mersman: 17a:52e !?!?! Madison Blane: 15a:40e !?!?! overall team: 548 aces, 788 errors

FWIW, I was confusing Angeles with Andrade when talking about the service errors this was fun to do anyways. I knew I was leaning into top spin serves this year, but I forget how high the errors get too  |
