Jerrit Elliots biggest mistake was recruiting transfers over Melanie Parra and forcing her to leave. What a clown.

[@josiahterry3767]

Yep! Ur right cus look at her go now.. one of the top scoring players in the country!! ❤ love those horned frogs!

[@pkgonzela5362]

Why you didn’t say Jerritt Elliott biggest mistake was recruiting transfers over Marina Crownover…what a clown?

[@bobwallace1880]

Parra was a spiled brat. She could not stand being benched. I agree Texas will not repeat the national title this year. May not win the conference

[@kiaram8688]

@ no she was not lol. She stayed at Texas for years without getting the playing time she deserved. Now she leads the country in kills per set.

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@kiaram8688 actually, parra left cus she wasn’t getting playing time. She left before Jenna came to Texas. She wasn’t going to play over Madi or Logan that’s for sure, Jenna yes but it’s been 2 years, she’s doing good for tcu

[@WhitneyGadison1]

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Texas isn’t 3 peating and I know I’ve said several times that we are waiting for the right time to peak but after watching this match, I can’t. I’m really trying to believe in them but it ain’t happening. It would take an absolute miracle to do it atp. 3 unranked losses is not the Texas we know. Getting beat 3 times at home is not Texas. This team is miles better than last year but there is absolutely no team chemistry whatsoever and what kills me the most is yall had the chance to win in the 4th set and yall had 8 days off. What exactly were yall practicing? And there’s no senior leadership whatsoever. It all starts with coaching. Idk what Jerrit is trying to prove but you are proving why the 6 2 doesn’t work at all. Go back to whatever you did last year and the year before, the 5 1 with 3 defensive specialist/ Madi for the Bic. Jenna, I’m done with her. Do not play her at all. She has her good days and her bad days no in between. She can’t pass for shit, and when she hits, she either hits straight into the block or she hits it out. There is absolutely no reason for her to be playing 6 rotations when she can’t even hit from the back row. Should had kept parra instead. Emma and kaylei idk what is going on with the both of you but yall can do better. Madi and Reagan , good job, sorry your own team is ruining yalls chance at getting another title. Middles, I know yall are young (Ayden) but yall truly need to work on yalls blocks. Yall are late every single time and mari, you need to stop getting into the net. Setters, yall both have yalls advantages and disadvantages. Ella as much as I want to defend you cus you won the title as a freshman, I can’t. Her location is so damn off but I love her for her defense. Averi, you’re the better setter out of the two but your defense ain’t it. You can run the 6 2 for the teams that aren’t good. But you need to go back to the 5 1 for the good teams. If something doesn’t change, kiss the sec title goodbye and you’ll will have to go on the road the entire ncaa tournament. Keep the 6 2 but take out Jenna and put in Jordyn and have Madi play all 6 rotations , I can’t say Whitney cause I saw she was hurt. For the 5-1 it needs to be like this and I hate to say it. Madi and Devin, oh 1 and oh 2 with Madi playing all 6. Middles are fine, Reagan on the right side. Averi as the setter but if you want good defense and the height advantage go Ella. Emma, kaylei and Reese. Do that and watch things turn around! It’s still hook em forever but things need to change

[@josiahterry3767]

If only Coaches checked out comments from yt this would mean so much more, bc I've seen texas be the team that has won back to back championships.. but then again looking at now.. it's just not evident 😅, greatly worded as well

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@ that and Instagram! Literally everyone is seeing and saying what needs to change💀😂

[@Yeswow-r4d]

Madi had 4 rec errors that might be why she’s not 6 roations 🤔

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@Yeswow-r4d no that’s not why, from what I’ve heard, they were trying to give her rest cus she had a very busy off season so they were letting Jenna play 6 rotations. And we don’t go off of one match, we go off of the entire season. Madi hasn’t played 6 rotation since the beggining of the season. Jenna has and if you look at her stats, she has way more errors in every single match compared to Madi

[@KlsoNl]

Anything can happen in the post season, theres been a lot of upsets

[@bretonkyle]

Yikes. Almost never seen us look so lost in serve receive. Couple of interesting changes to the lineup that seemed geared for heavy offense, but we never got to actually run it cuz we never had a pass that stayed in system. I still say the 6-2 is a momentum killer. I feel like every time Ella or Averi get into a flow, they just get rotated out. I get the team is deep and no doubt there's tons of talent, but wow the chemistry just isn't there. I don't think changing half the lineup every few points is helping.

[@Randonmatteo]

They lose momentum every time swindle goes back in. I think the reason Jenna can’t get a kill is because swindles location is SO OFF. Jenna is outrunning the ball every time. The connection between Carlson and Madi is 1000 times better. The 6-2 is just not working in their favor I think Carlson should run a 5-1 she leads the team is assist like I don’t get what the hold up is. And for everyone saying wennas sucks she’s 2nd on the team for kills, digs and aces. I’m telling yall it’s literally swindle having zero connection and awful location.

[@tarahw.9165]

Same I just want to see a connection

[@aljonjaysiadan5831]

These other Texas players, aside from Skinner, is not scoring. Wenaas is like a high school athlete.

[@WhitneyGadison1]

And what I don’t understand from jerrit is why he doesn’t bench her when she is struggling. Better yet go back to what you been doing for the past 2 year with 3 defensive specialist and Madi for the bic.

[@tinkyyyj8146]

wennas was a beast at minnesota. im not sure why she isn’t flourishing with texas. all these rotations is showing why they cannot play well together

[@tigwe6]

8:22: I love Logan Eggleston and Asjia O’Neal signaling to Texas … “don’t bother using your challenge coach; the ball is IN” 😂😂😂

[@luciafernandez-rodriguez1541]

I think the excess use of the transfer portal was probably one of the worst things to come to college volleyball. You always get teams like Texas that cultivate their lineups from the best transfers that they can get from other teams instead of cultivating their own talent. Younger players on these rosters come looking for a chance to play on the lineup just for the coaching staff to get someone on the transfer portal so that they can "develop" the younger players. The whole point of recruiting is to recruit players that you want playing for you on your team. Whats the point if you just grab someone from the transfer portal that has shown success elsewhere and you never start your recruits? I'm not saying the transfer portal is inherently bad because there are players that transfer to other teams that need it and truly make a difference. Just look at the effects of Alli Batenhorst and Skylar Fields for USC. They transferred from big programs to smaller ones and have significantly contributed to the success of their new teams without impeding on the development of the other players in the program. The part thats most frustrating is when teams bring together the best players from other programs and then make like this super team and then they end up winning close to everything. Teams like 2023 Wisconsin who had Sarah Franklin, Carter Booth, CC Crawford, and Temi Thomas-Ailara. All of them large contributors to their previous teams starting over all of Wisconsins other recruits. And this years Texas with Madi Skinner, Regan Rutherford, Avery Carlson, and Jenna Wenaas who are all part of the starting lineup over true recruits that have the talent to be there over them (mostly Jenna Wenaas). I'm also not saying that bringing in Avery Carlson from Baylor was bad, because she's obviously older and therefore more experienced and could prove to provide valuable advice to Swindle. Just look at other setter relationships like Kennedi Orr and Bergen Reilly at Nebraska. The freshman got the start over the junior, but Orr serves to help Reilly adjust to the college game at a higher level. Carlson could have done that with Swindle, but instead of recruiting from the transfer portal to help your existing setter, Texas only recruited to find a replacement for Swindle with experience. Swindle isn't "learning" or "developing" anything, this transfer has only served to ruin the confidence that came with winning a Championship her freshman year, drastically worsening her game. Please feel free to agree or disagree.

[@josiahterry3767]

Dang texas struggling to find a rhythm throughout the game fs.. Missouri pushing texas to the brink this game.. 😮😂❤

[@williamjohnson4315]

Maddie in middle back, akana and halter for ds, Devin and Rutherford for pins, Swindle for setter, and Singletary and Aiden for middles

[@jonfernandez5595]

Get jenna off the court immediately

[@dinosaur5910]

I think Texas must be really determined at this stage. But it must be said that Missouri played very well in today's match. Congratulations Missouri girls

[@9N6-s2i]

Swindle’s sophmore dump era needs to be studied

[@kiaram8688]

I would actually say she’s been like this since her freshman year. Her injury benefited the team last year because she was more consistent when her feet stay on the ground instead of jump setting

Toto, we're not in the Big 12 anymore !

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@JohnSimar-m7d it’s not that, the sec isn’t as good as it seems. Texas took out the two teams that have won the sec for the past few years. We already beat the Aggies and idk what happened with Missouri. The big 12 is more dominate than the sec in volleyball imo

[@JohnSimar-m7d]

@@WhitneyGadison1 Thanks for the informative reply. I'm positive that you know more about volleyball and the conferences than I do. I began following volleyball in 2018 and I have really enjoyed it. It should be an exciting tournament this year, your thoughts ?

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@ on the tournament? There are going to be a ton of upsets, there’s one team in particular, (smu) who is on a Cinderella run right now and can beat anyone on any given day. Then there’s the team I commented about (Texas) who is looking to get their third straight title but it’s not looking likely but no one should count them out. It’s going to be a really good tournament overall! Glad you’re getting more into volleyball!

[@JohnSimar-m7d]

@@WhitneyGadison1 I am a fan of volleyball, but I don't have a particular team that I crush on. I too can see some upsets occurring, but surprising a top 4 team such as Pitt or Nebraska in their houses, will be unlikely. If Texas is still in the top 16 by December ! LOL the Burnt Orange will have a tough 1st and 2nd round at home, and if they advance they will need to win on the road to get to the final 4. Since I am Lone Star state born and raised, I would like to see a team such as SMU or TCU make it to 8 and even further. Whitney, do you participate in volleyball ? I never played volleyball, but I enjoy watching and learning. Have a decent Sunday.

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@ I agree, those two right now are the favorites to be in the final 4 but like you said, they could get upset at home and I would love that. As for Texas which is my team. We have to win out in order to get the first and second round at home. They will be going on the road the rest of the way. Texas is a team that a lot of people doubted last year and they won it all. To answer your last question, I have always liked volleyball but I never played it

ATP, Elliot definitely promised JW for a 6 rotations player. He said they didn’t win bc of a 6-2, it’s something about day off or forgot the word. No, Elliot, it’s about no changes and the same results

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@lightkook I was waiting for your comment! Literally one of my favorite people to reply too😭. The simple thing is he needs to go back to the 5 1, put Devin back on the left side, have Madi play 6 rotations, have 3 defensive specialist, don’t care who sets, Reagan on the right and then the middles

[@lightkook]

@@WhitneyGadison1 OMG TYSM!!!! HI AGAIN! You don’t know how frustrated I was when I saw JW again. Again, nothing changes which you shouldn’t be doing that as a coach. Make changes and clearly JW & the coaches have something going on (had to say it again bc my other one didn’t go through)

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@lightkook exactly! Makes no sense for Madi to be playing 3 rotations. Even tho her passing hasn’t been good, she has the bic that Texas needs! I saw Jenna ran the bic one time this season and you know what happened? She got blocked!

[@lightkook]

@@WhitneyGadison1 & she always hits it into that block! Madi gets blocked while Jenna hits it into the block bc her vertical is trash! Jenna doesn’t make changes but she makes the same mistakes over & over again. Like, come on now you are a SR now & you clearly aren’t the leader of the court

@@lightkook they have one day to get it together and make the change, if this match wasn’t the eye opener for jerrit to go back to the 5-1 with 3 little in the back and have Madi do all 6 rotation, idk what is

[@constancebeckham8437]

Jenna is who’s throwing every one off! She hasn’t developed in anyway since coming to Texas and she’s being exposed! She got away with it last year because we had so much IQ talent & options! This year with her being the first option it’s showing she can’t hang! This young group doesn’t communicate or play with energy or effort! I said it at the beginning of the season this 6-2 won’t work & it isn’t working! The play it very slow everyone looks lost and it’s very amateurish! He’s the cause of them losing not the talent the team is loaded

[@moogalyboogaly]

I went to this game and the girls really didn’t have enough power and are definetaly not going to win a 3rd championship in a row. Also, I like ella swindle much more as a setter then Carlson.

To all Tx fans have to lower your expectations this is a good team not great.I know i was deceived by this team after FL and KY matches thought they could be great. However like most good teams they are capable of playing really good matches and also matches that are not so good.Its frustrating because they seem to have the talent but not what ever it takes to have that cohesiveness that makes good teams great.And can all of you stop with the Jenna hate Jerrit has won 3 nat chmpnships been to i dont know how many final 4s and you think you know better than he does who should play.

[@WhitneyGadison1]

@@mjzunk7702 I’m sorry but no one is hating, we are going off of what we see. She shouldn’t play 6 rotations over the player who has the experience of playing 6 rotations and is miles better. Hell, she shouldn’t even be in the lineup anymore. She can’t pass, and she hits in the block
