If you look at the positives so far

She made the Sweet 16 her second season.

That is about it

Negatives

Other than Gomez and a freshman in Rush, who was raw , that was done with pretty Corbellis recruits.

All of her scholarship HS players other than Rush and DS have left the program. And I am unsure why Rush wasn't around for two or three matches before Cox went down mid season

Steady decline in consistency and performance.


That said we had to deal with Covid last season and if we are giving Buzz a pass in men's BB it is only fair we do the same in other sports

Can the staff and players move the program forward??

That is what I am unsure about. It is definitely possible to happen but the season and last season are over in terms of anything meaningful.

We lose the starting setter and unless they come back both starting middles.

We bring back all the pins unless they leave and that is the major issue stat wise this season in terms of consistency. We can't hit out of system at the level a top 25 needs to and we cant pass at that level either even bringing in tons of different DS players for that purpose each set…each match and once again consistency from the back row is somewhat suspect.

I look at the roster and the abilities and think we are OK. A tweek here or there maybe an upgrade at a position or two but how can you have a player hit .700 one day and -.222 the next match and the day they hit .700 the rest of the team doesn't even hit zero. And the person who hit .700 then becomes one of the less than zeros three of next four matches.

We are who are record is because although injuries happen we really only lost Cox this season and sadly up until the actual match she got injured she was a non factor.

A pin is usually an front row outside hitter from either side! The pin is a word for the antenna on the outside of the net, so they call the front row outside hitters a pin! At least to my understanding!

After that comment I will point out your immaturity as well.

Let's try to keep this thread volleyball only! Many posters offer excellent insight on volleyball, recruiting, and schemes and they're very much appreciated! We shouldn't bring politics or any of that sort into this. This is a "VOLLEYBALL" thread and there's other places to discuss and cry about political opinions. Fans and players' families read these boards so we must always try to remain respectful of our ladies! I apologize for ranting and going off of volleyball. Let's get back to discussing ball and pray we BTHO Auburn on Friday!

Class of 2002. Been on texags for years. Never once posted. But, figured it was time. As someone who is around volleyball on all sides of my life (wife is a varsity coach; kids play club), I just wanted to say that I appreciate the insight on this board. Clearly some folks on here who know volleyball in a very meaningful way and care about this team. Like you all, I'm disappointed in this year's team. Just Jekyll and Hyde from match to match (if not set to set), which is the last thing you want as a coach. And is downright frustrating as a fan. With that said, I am very optimistic about next year's crop of freshmen, especially the two I've seen play a ton (Logan Lednicky and Ava Underwood). I'm confident Ava will shore up a ton of the issues we are currently having in the back row... Anyway, just wanted to say "thanks" for keeping the thread active and I'm glad I stumbled on it. Good to know others watch the vball team even more intently than I do.

With the long break it will be interesting to see if any lineup changes have been made and if Dr Jekyl or Mr Hyde will show up on the court tonight.

The game was listed to be broadcast on SEC+, but I'm unable to access. Anyone else having that problem?

Auburn is bad. A loss here would pretty much end any chances at the postseason.

Need to get our stuff together right now.

What a relief! A sweep here could help get us back on track.

We aren't making the postseason

Auburn didn't win a match last year and cancelled the entire spring season. They played pretty much nobody out of conference and if not for Alabama ranking bad this season should have finished second to last in conference behind Missouri. And we escaped with a five set win at home against them

Proud of the girls as we have won a few five set matches but this should be a win on auto control

Come back tonight and win but we will have to win both matches AT KENTUCKY to possibly get in.

Auburn is like #157 in RPI futures and has already played all the bad teams in conference to have their win total this high.

We have to beat Arkansas at home, Kentucky on road at least once, LSU on road and not drop a match against Auburn and Missouri AND hope other things fall into place.

I don't disagree with you in general. I think we are going to lose twice to Kentucky and drop at least one more along the way, but...

It's beyond dumb to say we have to beat Kentucky twice to get in. If the only loss we have the rest of the way is 1 of 2 to Kentucky, we will get in easily.

We're on the bubble right now and so is Arkansas (38 & 33 respectively, going into this week). If we finish 7-1 including a win against a bubble team and a road win against a top 10 team, we're getting in easily. It would be a lot tougher without beating Kentucky once, but there would still be a chance, depending on what everyone else does.

Don't forget, the at-large RPI cutoff is usually in the mid-40s.Our only "bad" losses are Hawaii and Georgia. Everyone else we have lost to is a tournament team.

We have a top-15 win (Tennessee) on the road and not much else, but we are right there on the bubble.

Our girls come out flat and lose the first set 25-15! Poor passing again is our demise
