    Meant to type this up after the late March tournament in Austin, but lost track of time.   I'm pretty sure I wrote something like the following… And if I didn't do it here, I'll claim I did

    This is rather massive, our biggest weakness all season was 1s. Will be interesting to see who she pairs with if we don't grab anyone else.

2s and 5s only ones competitive in set 1

27-27 now for the 5s Set 1.  3 straight service errors on set point.  The dual may be over before this set ends.

#1009

Would be nice to win a set as the #2 seed playing against #21.

Edit: I got the seedings wrong. Still would have loved to see us win a game.

We’re the #7 seed, they’re #2. Think you were looking at players #s. 

Ah ok. I am watching us play for the first time. Not sure where I got the seedings from.

Tough loss today showing how far we are from the top. But making the NCAA quarterfinals in the first real competition year would have seemed like a wildly optimistic prediction at the beginning of the season.

We have a strong recruiting class joining next year. And seems we have a good shot with the top player in the portal - USC's Madison White (plays in their #1 pair) just started following Texas and Metzger on social media. The program's future is bright!

So TCU is crashing the socal invitational.  I was wondering why this is always in Gulf Shores and not in Cali somewhere but Google says it was supposed to be in Huntington Beach this year before it was moved due to the fires.

Yes and will be in Huntington next year. Going forward looks like two year bids as it will move back to Gulf shores after that.

I didn't see a Beach Recruiting thread.

Leann Wise, '27, commits to Texas.

"She's a 6'0" blocker with a 8.84 TruVolley rating and moves very quick. She has notable wins at events including P1440 Junior's national championship in 2024 and the AVP East Coast Championships late 2024."

"Leann Wise is top 3 in the class and I’ve seen all ‘27s play for years. Aggressive, smart options, flys around the court. She’s going to be a force and I am not a longhorn fan whatsoever."

She's the top player in the class. Incredible kid, super smart too

Another '27 recruit, Janie McCanna.

I don't have any other commentary. 

Spiker Beach player (Huntington, CA) that got first place in the Gulf Shores 18U Open tournament that happens at the same time as the NCAAs.  It's one of the toughest junior tournaments in the nation.  She's listed at 6'

To Tstreet Volleyball Club—thank you for pouring your time, hard work, and endless encouragement into my development over the past seven years. You’ve given me not just coaching, but a second family. To Spiker Beach Volleyball, thank you for taking me in and surrounding me with athletes and coaches who’ve pushed me to become both a better player and a better person. And above all, thank you to God for giving me the ability—physically and mentally—to compete. A huge thank you as well to Chris Vu, Kelly and Jordan Cheng, Ryan Redira, Marty Suan, Jake Gibb, Andy Hein, Valinda Roche, Newport Harbor Volleyball, the entire Tanner family, and every coach, player, trainer, and program who has stood by me through this journey. I wouldn’t be anywhere near this opportunity without you. Finally, the biggest thank you to Jerritt Elliott, Ben Josephson, David Hunt, Reily Buechler-Canter, Stein Metzger, Will Buchanan, Angie Akers, and the entire University of Texas volleyball staff for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. Your belief in me means more than any words can say. HOOK ‘EM! 🤘🧡 #texasvolleyball #texasbeach #ut".

Ella and Janie went undefeated all tournament without dropping a set and now have a combined 13+ National Championship Titles between each other. I am so proud of these two for all of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the grind over the years. Their focus, overall mindset, work ethic, and willingness to be pushed on all fronts physically/mentally in the weightroom + on the sand is unmatched and serves as a true testament to their results. To say they are the most deserving is a true understatement. So happy for you girls, enjoy the win, and then it’s back to work we go!

Boise State, Florida State, and South Carolina are moving to the Big 12.

I see Ella and Janie committed to us that's awesome. How often do pairs commit to the same school? Is this rare?

#1047

 

settling in nicely🤘#HookEm

That’s Madison & Emma on left, so certainly appears they’ll be our top pair. Sends Katie Hashman to 2, we shall see who she runs with. 

#1048

Anyone know what the schedules are for the fall beach pair events in Austin over the next month?  I'm assuming it's at the Whitaker courts?

#1050

Went to TCU's fall exhibition today, got there at 2, shit was already over. Last year it was Texas & two other schools, only HCU & A&M-CC today. Plus tonight is TCU's football homecoming shit. Was the perfect fucking day for some beach.
