Thanks for that insight Jack! I wasn't trying to put her down, just candid about what coaches look for. I would be curious what a whole match against TAV, Skyline, AJV, AP, etc looked like. She might perform even better against the big dogs.

About Jenna, it was been a hot minute. I forgot she quit. I have a handful of friends close to that program that say how toxic it is. Evident by how they had to use the transfer portal this year..

With her bulldog mentality, I can see her earning playing time as a DS early and then moving into a setting role. Just kind of depends on where the Aggies are with who they want on scholly. You honestly never know. I'd take an underdog on my team that has potential

Hmm Jenna didn't lose her spot or transfer, she quit volleyball due to "mental health". She literally started for 3 years beating out multiple top prospect taller setters. And Jenna was actually 5-6 which is quite a bit different than even 5-9. As far as attitude , they are very similar and play with a bulldog mentality.

As for the competition, she played 16 Open against the best teams in the country all year. Played the top teams on the tour of Texas . Which one was weak exactly? These are literally some of the tops in the class of 24. Out of the open USAV field going to nationals she played 9 of the teams and arguably the tallest team in the country in Colorado Jrs Sherri who goes 6-4 to 6-5 across the front row. They beat Austin Jrs top team , Tav Houston tops teams, went 3 with Houston Jrs top team,..literally a top 5 ranked Lone Star team all year. Played TAV DAllas tough twice and took Drive Nation to 3. And like you said about Jenna, put this girl on a team loaded like a TAV Dallas and guess what she would look even better. The team she is on now is literally a local team competing and beating some the most selectively recruited clubs in the country. If I'm a coach they certainly should catch my eye as this team has no business beating a team that is double open qualified like AJV.


And to answer your question wicked, I believe she would rather be a preferred at A&M and get a chance to win a spot than play at a small school. She believes she can play with anyone and will prove it if given the opportunity.

My question is, if she had a skyline or TAV jersey on would people think differently? There seems to be a serious case of club bias which won't be an issue for her next year.

I've seen all the top setters in the class of 24 in the state, I'd put her top 3 and with being a better athlete than the top 2 but not having 6" or better height. But she can probably still jump with them both.

On a national scale the only setter i saw all year that caught my eye that was taller and as athletic is the Izzy Staurck girl from the Co jrs team and she is a U19 team USA member.

I know Jenna quit due to mental health

My point was she wasnt a scholie player in the beginning but earned that right....she was setting from what i heard on the other side in 6 on 6 scrimmage stuff in practice and was just doing a better job then starting setter

your daughter could do the same but dont expect a Top 25 program to give a scholie to her at the beginning
based upon height

I usually check this blog for volleyball information. They love to talk and it hasn't even hit their pages yet. Texas A&M volleyball is in a sad state.
