Pittsburgh guy making his way in the world. #h2p

@cheesetrader1 @pittvbfan @NCAAVolleyball @michellachester MB is the one area that we always develop well out of nowhere - I think Emch is going to be a monster this year. Bigger question as always is back row passing and defense. But I’d be shocked to see Pitt finish outside of the top 4 once again barring injury

@Lincoln_VB Natalie Ring being on the preseason NPOY watch list but not preseason All-SEC is pretty comical

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@DOMISMONEY Big difference is he’s about 8 years younger

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@rtjr This team is so frustrating to watch. The talent and excitement could be there but the management and usage and fundamentals are all so bush league it grinds worse than seasons where we are just bad

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@KodyDuncanPGH It wasn’t his fault that Kelly is a moron

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@rtjr Fire him now. That’s absurdly terrible

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@AbbySchnable Yes please! Question - what is the ceiling this year for Ayanna Watson? Could she have a Stafford-esque freshman year?

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@EthanHullihen Didn’t Bazzana get sent down?

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@Buccigross Thompson #bucciovertimechallenge

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@DOMISMONEY Could also try to move Lowe to left/Horwitz to second/O’Hearn to first. Lowe’s defense at 2B was terrible last year - Horwitz likely wouldn’t be worse

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@rjohnston4 @rtjr The Pirates would never pay a short side platoon $12M. He’s playing basically every day, and so is O’Hearn

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@PantherLair Why was the clock running after getting that first down catch? Shouldn’t the clock have been stopped until the ball was set by the ref?

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@DOMISMONEY

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@svperio Pezelj and Gregoire are acceptable depth pins, gonna be Ayanna Watson starting across from Blaire next year anyway. Gotta prioritize libero and MB now

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@AbbySchnable Maybe I’m too excited but watching her highlights I imagine a Stafford-level freshman year is certainly possible. Hopefully with better passing than freshman Stafford

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@svperio Fisher’s track record with middle transfers is pretty darn good so not too concerned there tbh

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@SlappyOBrien @PantherLair There have been 4 teams in the history of women’s volleyball to make 5 straight final 4s. You want to fire the coach who has done that? Who took a nothing program and made it an annual top contender? Moron

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@AbbySchnable Can’t win against a tough serving team with a libero that can’t pass. Desperately need to get a libero out of the transfer portal this offseason. The rest of the pieces are good enough (assuming they get Starck) with Bayless and Watson at OH and Emch/Ryla at middle

[Cristiano Ranaldo @LudaChristian25]

@stephenethom Pitt’s back row is so bad for as good as this team is. It’s incredible they’ve made it this far with that passing and defense. Fisher desperately needs a transfer libero this portal season
