SMU is essentially put together the core of the TAV Black team from the class of 24 that also had Spears and Suli Davis playing up. Suli has just committed to SMU, they already have Favor and Livings, adding Ames will just be another piece to that puzzle.
As for setting, maybe one day coaches will be more concerned with being able to set bad passes to still be able to run middles and an effective offense. In the portal I would be looking for setters that set their middles to a high hitting % and cross check that with what passing rating that teams backrow had. IE if the team passed below a 2 but yet the middles still hit over .300 that tells me that setter is very skilled at getting the balls to the middle from anywhere on the court. Maybe you give up some block but whats more important?
Wrong . Even with all that we had control of the game at the end..just needed another first down instead we played for a long field goal with a unreliable kicker. Glad he made but to put it in his shoulders 47 yards out was ridiculous. Pussy ass play calling
Absolutely 100%, if volleyball is what your kid wants to do you have to do the club deal even to make the jr high school at most of these schools now. Its expensive but fun lots of memories to be made. I came from travel baseball and volleyball has become very similar. You don't show up in 7th or 9th grade to make the baseball team or volleyball team, you have been better playing some high level ball if you are a real sports school.
Thanks just got caught up and saw he explained that. I am somewhat surprised as we played her club team a few times this past year and i watched them a bunch and i cant say I ever thought that was a UT level prospect, but then again I dont usually study liberos either. I do know our team bet hers and we played with a jv level high school libero on a much lower profile team lol.
Impressive how well she sets out of system. Good blocker for being 5'8". I know it's a recruiting video but she makes the right decision more often than not.
Her athletism really shows up on the amount of out of system balls she gets, she runs down a lot and can keep the offense rolling. She is a very good blocker as a legit 5'9". Gabriel was what 5'6" when she admitted how tall she really was?
She is a smart player like you said as far as reading defenses and making the right calls.
She is a legit 5'9" but plays bigger than she is with lots of blocks. Varsity starter on the basketball team as a freshman who did the opening tip jump ball. Is a gamer and a competitor. A bigger Jenna type maybe. Runs a 5-1 which allows her to attack well but can also run a 6-2 and is a good RS hitter.
I’m also in the club scene and mine is 16. We won lone star regionals last year in 15 open playing for a no name club beating Houston Skyline Royal and Alamo Premier back to back in the semis and finals. We played at Nationals in the National Division which is second highest. We had college coaches all over our courts including Rice, Aggie, Baylor and many schools from all over. Very cool experience. My daughter is a 5’9-5’10 setter..if she was 6ft she would be a big time recruit but I still think she will get an opportunity. We will see. What club are you gardener barnes? That guy you mentioned y’all were ranked higher than HJV? Hopefully you aren’t looking at AES rankings, those are worthless . You need to look at the lone star region rankings which shows stellar 14 if you are on 14 elite. This is what they use to seed tournaments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
