Seems to me that it is a lot tougher to take a bunch of players who are NOT on everyone's list or who are NOT all Fab-50's turn them into a contender.....NOT taking a bunch of superstars to begin with and getting into a regional final or FF....Cook has as much talent as anyone, except perhaps Dunning, and McLaughlin isn't exactly hurting for talent either! isn't that what McLaughlin do? I am confused probably because i am not a genius. Last time i checked he didn't get the fab 50 kids. sure their athletic, but McLaughlin can flat out coach...Made a little setter that no one wanted and helped her become an all american. that's impressive to me. I believe Washington had at least 6 Fab 50 players on his team this year and a similar number last year. That doesn't count Sanja who wasn't a US player and would likely not be on the Fab 50 lists. www.richkern.com/vb/schoolinfo/Fab50List.asp?school=waI'm not sure about whether any of the transfer players they used this year were Fab 50's since they'd have been listed on the Rich Kern site under their original teams.

^^that number for games won/lost is wrong for uw, in the last 3 years they: lost 1-3 stanford ('04 semi) won 3-0 tennessee ('05 semi) won 3-0 nebraska ('05 final) lost 1-3 stanford ('06 semi) so they are 8-6, not 7-6. Not a big deal at all, but one more game won looks that much better. and I know I'm really going to sound like I'm making excuses right now, but this is dead true, Washington was better than Stanford in '04. Anybody who watched the matches would say the same. yes, stanford won 2 out of 3, but that included a 1 in 100,000,000 comeback (minus Tomasevic, mind you) where washington completely out played them no less. And washington had two major injuries in the semis to ST and CM. You are absolutely right on! U-Dub best team of 2004 hands down. Injuries killed them; otherwise they would have won 2004 championship.

Husky vb fan, thanks for clearing that up and for recognizing the tongue and cheek of the post. Sorry, but it is too much of a sore subject to joke about at this point.
