Michigan ranked #15, article saying setter Zimmerman the top setter recruit in the class. Maggie Busch a solid libero, Karlee Bruck a good MB blocker who seems to need work on offense, and Jackie Nissen is a wild card MB who has been injured for two years, could be good if she gets healthy.

Could someone also reveal how they get the caramilk in a Caramilk bar? Much appreciated. When the bar is made, two molds are used (the whole procedure is automated and mechanized so that thousands of bars are made per hour). In the first mold, the actual shape of the bar, molten chocolate is poured to about the halfway-full point. Meanwhile, in another machine, a second mold is readied. This one is a similar shape but smaller and in this second mold, Caramel is poured into individual spaces. Then the Caramel and chocolate pieces are frozen, creating small, hard, Caramilk "lozenges." These are dropped into the first mold (The first mold is not yet completely solidified though being frozen, the "lozenges" float until it does, ensuring they are roughly in the middle of the final product.) Next the "bottom" of the bar is made by covering six of such molds with a second layer of chocolate, enough to fill the mold. When the chocolate has hardened (accelerated somewhat by the frozen Caramel and chocolate inside) the bar is popped out, wrapped, packaged, distributed, and sold. ( NOTE TO SOOTHSAYER: According to policy, the filing clerks who process the work orders for maintenance on all these machines must staple an interdepartmental budget invoice to the top of each work order once completed.) You're welcome, in retrospect.

You forgot the staples.

There. I clicked a button on my computer and added staples. That was easy.

Today's Austin newspaper included a blurb that Texas' "5 member recruiting" class was ranked #2 nationally; who are the five recruits? 1) Juliann Faucette 2) Jennifer Doris 3) Elizabeth Graham 4) ? 5) ?

Having a top ranked player in high school does not always translate into a top ranked player in college. Regarding the Longhorns 2nd place ranking for some time now, it seems that the program stamp collects tall lanky players, only to find most are not fast or athletic enough to compete against the superstars of Stanford and Nebraska. As athe Longhorns drool over the prospects of a national championship, they are consoled by the fact that their school is one of the top ranked party campuses.

Gosh, that's the first 2 things I think about when considering Hooker and Engle, Faucette too. Tall, Lanky but not fast or athletic...wow, thanks for clearing that up....I mean how fast could they be with all that partying going on.

One of the players you mention is exceptionally athletic and I wonder how well she would have developed at Nebraska or Stanford if academics weren't an issue.
You raise a good point. Alcohol, just like ibuprofen, supposedly inhibits muscle hypertrophy and performance.

If there's one thing Elliott can do, it's recruit. Getting Engle was a HUGE step for Texas, potentially leading to Faucette committing, and who knows who else in the future.

I think Elliott is domb because he just tryes to recruit the top players not the players he needs or the players that will fit in aa certan position.

Good recruiters don't necessarily make for coaches who can take players to the next level. I think Russ Rose is one example of someone who can do both, recruit well and develop his talent even further.
