I suppose she lost her job, she played sparingly throughout conference play. She had a rough stretch through conference play then I guess came off the bench, this was around the time TCU was struggling and started picking up losses.

Kind of odd with how good she looked early on. Hit a freshman slump, but TCU's setters weren't really impressive.

Who are we likely to lose? Hernandez? Stanjovich? Is Manning ensured that she will start her last year? You best believe that Stowers is gonna get significant NIL thrown at her.

It'll be interesting, we'll have 13 on the roster without any additions. So we'll have up to 5 portal transfers to add should we choose to do so.

Hernandez is a generational Aggie as well, so unsure if she'll leave. Stanojevic it'll depend on how she enjoys being so far from overseas and if we bring in multiple middles in the portals.

As for setter, we'll have Margot Manning coming off an injury and 6'2 Kirra Musgrove. I wonder how Jamie feels about them leading the offense. Manning can also be a serving specialist for us as well. I wonder if we go grab a setter since there will only be two on the roster.

Possibility of going back to a 2 setter system like in Jamie's first year? We went away from the 2 setters in 24. I assume Waak stood out enough that it made more sense to keep her on the court as much as possible. Waak and Manning each played sets early in the season but we settled on Waak by conference play.

I would be nervous counting on Manning to be THE setter and have her pull up lame again. I'm sure almost a year of recovery means she is fully healed.

Waak is elite in setting middles and we had two really good ones that could terminate the ball easily. Haven't seen enough of Musgrove to understand her skill set. Only the coaches know but I would favor a 6-2 at the beginning.
