October 28, 20232 yr Our block can win a lot of matches. We aren't nearly as lethal on the pins but this is the best block we've had in a long time it feels like.
October 28, 20232 yr The big thing from our pins/middles is avoiding errors. Give the block a chance by keeping the ball in play. Our block is not easy to deal with.

October 29, 20232 yr Author Committee top 10: Nebraska Stanford Wisconsin Louisville Washington St Oregon Texas Pitt Arkansas Tennessee RPI doesn’t matter bc we have so few top 25 wins “Top 10/25 wins” is a metric the committee uses only when they feel like it. Texas scheduled Ohio State and Minnesota - not our fault they sucked this year. Nor BYU losing 2 to KSU. We will really regret that set 2 loss to WSU when we were up 19-11 Edited October 29, 20232 yr by Js1
October 29, 20232 yr Author LMFAO both Stanford (swept by ASU) and WSU (to RPI #156 Oregon State in 5) lose after the reveal.
October 30, 20232 yr Author Now #2 in the RPI but we still have to play: 177 WV (x2) 42 UCF 52 Iowa State 56 Kansas State 123 Tech 144 Cincinnati All we can do is win out and let the cards fall where they fall
November 1, 20232 yr Author Texas just stole the top 2024 MB from Nebraska a week before signing day. #1 MB and top 5 player overall. Potential starter at MB as a freshman, which isn’t that common at UT Texas graduates Bergmark and O'Neal, so playing time is available. Singletary would be first up, as she took a RS last year and has played 10 sets in 8 matches. Bunton is taking a RS, as is customary for most Texas MBs the last decade, except for Chiaka, who played a lot as a freshman. Ames is looking like a spring enrollee, so she would have the spring to compete with Bunton to determine if she's going to RS or not. It has been noted that she looks and plays a lot like the two MBs for Nebraska, 6'4 Becca Allick, who started as a freshman last year, and 6'3 Andi Jackson, who starts this year as a freshman. Texas will, as always, be active in the portal for any MBs who already have collegiate experience. Because you do not want to start the year with Singletary, Bunton and a true freshman. Depth is always better. Edited November 1, 20232 yr by Js1
November 1, 20232 yr Author Also with Elliot flipping Ames, I am glad to see him reasserting the top Texas talent belongs at Texas, one way or another. Not including 2023, when we took a heavy OOS class (KY, FL, KY, MO, CA) Got Ebony Nwanebu (Fairview) to come back to Texas Got Tiffany Baker (Carrollton) to come back to Texas Got Madi Skinner (Katy) to come back to Texas Got Jenna Wenaas (Frisco) to come back to Texas Convinced Ames (Prosper) to flip to Texas and join Reese Emerick (Austin) and Brennan Ramirez (Waxahachie) in 2024 2025 has Callie Kreuger (Cedar Park), Addison Gaido (Georgetown) and Macaria Spears (Plano) Edited November 1, 20232 yr by Js1

November 2, 20232 yr Ayden Ames switching from Nebraska to Texas one week before signing day and two months before she reports to on campus dorms has paid such dividends for me on the entertainment front. This has been a glorious 24 hours. And that's not even counting the fact she's a top talent at a need position. This has been beautiful.
November 2, 20232 yr Author Singletary starting. O’Neal out for “personal reasons,” may be back for tomorrow
November 2, 20232 yr Author 17-11 Texas. Singletary had a monster kill. It does look like Bergmark has to rotate into the back to set and play defense for one rotation (when O’Neal usually did)
November 2, 20232 yr Author Sweep. Do it again tomorrow at 4pm on ESPN+ Wenaas had a good game too but WV is bad lol. We finished off that set going with Heinrich, Crownover, Devin and Singletary
November 2, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: No slow start today. Way to handle business That felt like a slow start to me. West Virginia just looked awful. But maybe I'm picky. I felt like it was difficult to learn anything about the team with West Virginia being so woeful. I agree with Js1's comment. They seemed to tool off our block regularly. Only 5 blocks this match in 3 sets. Usually we average over 3 blocks per set, and West Virginia is one of the worst teams on the entire schedule. It seems like Texas has improved in the second match every time we have these back to back matches this season, so I expect more of the same at the ridiculous tip time of 4pm central.
