6 service errors in the first set for WV does not seem like a recipe for success. That was a set WV could have won too because we didn't play particulary well.

Singletary playing a good bit again today. 

I wonder if the O'Neal stuff was just manufactured to get her some playing time. Trying to keep players from transferring?

Why would Singletary transfer? She’s likely a starting MB next year, with the leg up on Bunton and Ames. I don’t like to speculate when it’s “personal reasons” and she wasn’t even there yesterday. 

She knew she was not going to see a ton of PT when O’Neal announced her return. She stuck around and has gotten PT.

I’m more annoyed with how little PT Devin is getting. She’s so transferring.

Players transfer all the time when they don't get playing time even when there are desirable situations in the future. See Parra. 

Singletary was a top 12 recruit and hasn't played much at all in 2 seasons. This definitely looks to me like they're trying to give her some reps.

In Parra’s defense, we also had Devin already here and Byrd coming in. There’s no guarantee Parra was going to start; love her, but she’s still a 5’11 OH. 

Whereas for Singletary, we graduate both MBs, bring in a freshman and have a RS freshman on the roster. She’s basically guaranteed to start unless someone “can’t miss” goes into the portal and wants to transfer here. I’m which case, she still has the leg up on both Ames and Bunton for the 2nd spot.

If Elliot wants to keep playing her, enjoy our 2nd round exit. 

Jenna was eventually going to cost us a match based on her early struggles. This was a long time coming. 

Edited by Rickylovesweed

Can't believe she's still in the game.  She's got something on Elliot.  Makes no sense.

Jennas is the least terminal outside we have had in a long time.  Can't even tool a block.

You have to go in the portal and recruit over her. Don’t care what you promised her, she’s so bad. 

Dang. Not counting us out, but gonna be hard to reverse sweep this one

Why isn't the Devon girl playing?  Jenna can't even hit over a 5'7 setter.

In hindsight, looks like Elliott fucked up bad in letting Parra go, mostly because she doesn't fit his 6' plus archetype.

And, developing pins is his strong suit, he really probably shouldn't be relying on the portal much there.

He yanks Devin the second she does something wrong, but Jenna keeps getting to play

I should put some respect on Jennas name she is at least competitive.  You can see it coming out.

I don't think he let Parra go. She just transferred because she didn't get playing time here in 2 years. 

I think everyone has a lot to think about now

Finally made it into the top 4 and just blew it.  This is on Elliot.

We were still not going to host. But yeah, we finally ran into a team that took advantage of our slow starts + not playing at home

OH2 is going to be a problem for another month. If we make it into mid-December rounds of the tournament 

Need to go portal hunting for an OH. 

We normally have 2 or 3 terminal OH and this year we really only have 1. 


we will need to somehow beat a top four team in their gym to make it out of the elite eight this season. Yeah that’s probably not happening if we can’t even take a set off Kansas State in their gym.

Well, that sucked.  Guess they were just pissed about the football game.

Elliot hoping Jenna turns the corner on being a good player -- sample size says probably not.  He may believe they need Jenna playing great for any chance to return to the Final 4.
