If Vorster had the kind of elevation Kaufman did, she would be an All-American, and playing for a spot on the 2016 Olympic Team, not trying to make the starting unit for the Wahine Team.

Vorster does put up a bigger block. Just saying TK looks good and if you had to pick 2 of the 3 as of today, I like TK’s mobility. BUT they aren’t playing against anyone, sometimes not even themselves. no one blocking them most of the time. Vorster has been hitting some smart shots during scrimmages but she still needs to elevate. If she had the elevation that say a Kaufman had, it would make such a huge difference.

.It can easily change. Not saying that’s the starting lineup. said if I were asked that as of the 3 practices I’ve seen that would be my guess.

4. Vorster not injured. IMHO AT THE MOMENT IF THEY PLAYED TODAY Adolpho and Tuaniga start.

10. have said that Tuaniga moving as well as I’ve ever seen her move. like the mobility to the outside.

It gives them a chance to get a blocker (Vorster) against a high attack middle. If you start with her in the lineup, you don’t necessarily have the ‘right’ or ‘best’ alignment against a big block or high ball/quick attack hitter. That doesn’t go with just Texas either. Also Kristiana has paid her dues and deserves a shot in her senior year to show she can ‘lead’ and bring something to the mix. Later in the Big West, coaches will stack their lineups against the middles they saw the most of last year, so entering Jade late in a set can cause just enough havoc to score key end of match/set points. Also with her entering later, she can be used as a blocking sub for key points against shorter LS and or with a double switch for the setter to bolster the block. Strategy and holding your ace in the hole til the right time. And if it doesn’t go well you still have time to try going the other way, too. I think in the years of watching Wahine volleyball, Coach Dave has taught us that he knows more than we can remember about the games inside the game of volleyball. Go Wahine!

I do hope it’s a three way competition. MB spot has got to be stronger than last year. .

It’s not necessarily a bad thing since it means there is a lot of competition for that starting spot.

It appears that Higgins will have the job for three years. Would Kyra be comfortable being the back up for three years?
