How old will Mick be in 2016? Is Nollan a coach in waiting, there? Or will that job be an open hire? I would assume open hire. It's one of the top programs in the country.

At any rate, while I'll never be a charter member of the Mick Haley fan club, I gotta hand it to him - he's just a machine when it comes to recruiting.

Not discrediting Mick, he's getting it done wrt recruiting, but I can't believe USC is a tough sell. Then again, UCLA has inexplicably found a way to make Westwood a tough sell...

They definitely struggled in the early- mid-90s, when they were lucky to be top 10.

It does make you wonder, what is Mick doing that Sealy is not? USC holds no distinct advantage in terms of the school and location, albeit UCLA kids tend to get in on merit rather than legacy status and financial resources and actually work for their grades (yes that's my jab at the USC stereotype), and both schools have a very long tradition of volleyball excellence, but, recruiting and player retainment at UCLA seems to be almost laughable when compared with USC. As a school and program, anything USC can offer, UCLA can offer, so are players really taking a pass on UCLA because of the coaching staff? Is constantly yelling at you Mick Haley really that impressionable? It's not like USC is winning national championships every other year or has some impressive track record at player development. What is Mick doing that Sealy isn't!

It was even before then. From the mid-80's, USC wasn't a factor for a national title. A win over USC didn't put your team in the conversation of competing to get into the Final Four like it would today. Given how good they were in the 70's and early 80's, it was kind of a surprise. It wasn't until that super class in 2000 did they actually start to make some noise on the national scene.

she's very good. Glad she's staying in the Pac-12, but my god, the last thing USC is another high profile OH in the next few seasons...By 2016 no team in the country will have more top 10 OH's than USC. Gillis, Ruddins, Nwanebu, and Abercrombie already are top 10, Wallace Ford probably will be in 2015, and Lanier has all the potential to land in the top 10 in 2016. USC could put together two completely separate 5-1 teams and both of them could compete with any team in the country. Sickening, just sickening. Btw, she's class of 2016...at this point she doesn't "choose" Stanford, Stanford first has to choose her. Meh people thought this back after their 2010 class and nothing came of it except one final four appearance. Abrecrombie and Nwanebu are legit, Lanier maybe too, the rest?? Not really.

Hey, it was years ago ... I won't hold it against him. I love it when he comes to Maples. Even some of the Stanford fans perk up when he reams the refs or takes someone on his own team to the woodshed after a questionable play.
