^That's what JTawa said earlier in this thread... And someone said she was going home which I wouldn't have been surprised at, she stated in an article that she didn't like living in the United States.

what a surprise...Beach bagging on USC again for the umpteenth time...just because the Long Beach State program has been deemed irrelevant for the past decade doesn't mean you have to keep using the dollar sign for the S in USC....get over it...just ask your coach to start recruiting better.... I knew my post would entice some of the U$C faithful out of their cubby holes Truth hurts doesn't it?? Hey, how many folks have been mugged walking from the campus to the Galen Center? I'd hate to have your security and LAPD security bills every time you play there!! that's funny that you would mention security Beach seeing that Long Beach State is located in the "hood" and not too far from the LBC where there is lots of crime....by the way, did your team make it out of the Long Beach first and second round at your OWN Pyramid?...that's what I thought...once again Beach...go home and watch videos of Long Beach State in the 1980s when Brian G and company USED to be at the top of their game...

Well I guess you don't know where the pyramid is located. Not even close to the hood. Plus, you have no room to talk. You were beaten by Hawaii also. You just had cake walk teams in the 1st and 2nd round.

I guess if you don't like the US, Florida is as good a place as any. Not a lot of tears being shed in Eugene over her departure.

Why is that? I hear she's a good player. I am wondering why she left a couple of fellow Serb players behind, however, if being homesick is an issue.

I've been told she didn't like sharing the spotlight (Oregon continues to upgrade its talent) and is not a great team player.

I always chuckle at the ads placed by U$C in the Long Beach Press-Telegram.....no one from your own town will go to your games, and frankly no one from Long Beach will either but I am sure that the PRess-Telegram appreciates the advertising income!

Regarding coaches "planting seeds" and ideas for players to transfer, I don't see anything wrong with that if their school is a better academic fit for the potential transferee.
I also appreciate the fact that Olympians come from non-NCAA contender programs, and, in fact, one might be able to argue that a prime time player who absolutely tears up a conference such as ACC or Big East might actually raise her stock as a potential Olympian based on performance as compared to other players who have their coach from a NCAA contender program promote his players as national team members.

I've heard that Jeff Stork is losing one of his big middles to a Big12 South school (Baylor or TAMU). I don't know which girl, but after looking at his roster I can believe it. He has three sophomore MBs and one freshman - with that many bunched together at least one of them, probably two, will never get to leave the bench.

If it is a better academic fit, It's probably only by coincedence. There cant be any coach in america who honestly wants to convince an elite player to transfer to their school's communication program, and that them also playing volleyball at the new school is "just a side benifit."

Well, I know of a University that has several Pulitzer Prize winners on their Communication School's faculty roster, and that would probably serve a student better for career development than a whisper about being an Olympic hopeful.
My impression is that coaches do very little to promote an academic fit with their prospective recruits, other than to make sure that they meet the minimum academic standards for their College.

I don't believe that is a valid argument. This is women's volleyball the vast majority of these players need to have their academic credentials in order so that they can have a post college career. Remember that there are no professional volleyball leagues here in the USA, inddors that is. Very few go overseas to play, and even fewer make it in the AVP. The selling of the academics is top three in any sales pitch for a volleyball coach.

The selling of the academics is top three in any sales pitch for a volleyball coach. most univeristies have all the basic majors: english, premed, communication, psychology, an so on. so unless a player is looking for a certain major it's not that big of deal. Not every athlete goes to college knowing exactly what they want to do and if they do then some of them will change their minds. Grad programs are different but not everyone goes in looking at the grad programs because most students change schools for grad school
