Kentucky volleyball head coach Craig Skinner and senior outside hitter Brooklyn DeLeye join Sarah ahead of the first serve of the season. They discuss why saying no can be more important than saying yes, the off-court skills Brooklyn is looking to hone this season, the correct pronunciation of volleyball’s back row defensive specialist, and where to sit at a game if you want to learn more about the sport. Plus, these stars are Golden, who could possibly fill the spot, and the latest edition of “sports and gay shit.”
