It's not that there are not players being recruited but the style of play. Are the injured outsides 6 rotation players or was the plan to sub their backcourt out? It makes a difference. Also, just because stucky doesn't force 40 sets to one player might actually be a good thing. Just like when we force fed Hall an entire match, teams will focus on that and let them have their 25 kills because nobody else will be doing much damage. I think the best teams are more balanced than one RS player taking all the burden. I guess it's not important that Rothe and Parks didn't connect. Or that Parks can't even get a soft block going. Balance has to be the key and thinking Stucky can't work that out with a little coaching and practice is ridiculous. I am pretty sure that practically everyone that watched Florida play last year saw them lose the best player on the team..I still believe that to be true and taking her off the court after a year break is not going to make them better in the long run. I bet there are already a dozen schools just waiting for their opportunity to steal another good one. Trying to get a win now at all costs will not end well. After watching shanked passes, missed serves, errant swings for a long long time now with no court time lost and see what just happened after one set was a very wild knee jerk reaction that I have not seen here before. I think it was a bad reaction to a fairly easy problem involving what everyone thought of last year as a game changing setter...let her work it out in live action and they will be better for it. Continue that kind of game instruction and we can watch her in the final four next year with a different jersey.

If you want to bitch about coaching go to the football board. Mary is and will go down as one of the greatest Florida athletic coaches of all time.

Scrappygator and Porchegator are right. Now MW has the support she needs. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. It’s gonna be fun watching her put it all together in the coming months.

I will say Mary has almost always had her left side attackers 6 position players. I really don’t watch vb much anymore as 90% of my coaching was when the game was side out scoring which was the best version of the game but to some, was not as exciting as rally scoring. Big mistake imo. SOS(side out scoring) made a team play a complete match if they wanted to win but gave every underdog a fair chance for the W.
