Yeah, that Wooden guy was a whack-o. He was a control freak, with the exception of trying to control Sam Gilbert.

This is going to get me in big trouble. I am trolling in a friendly way. You see at PSU even general information like when the VB practices start in August is restricted information not released to the public as you find at almost every other college. Same with scrimmages, open practices,if any, and spring matches are nor easily found. The difference between transparency and disclosure at PSU between the football program and the WVB program could not be more opposite. IMO I seriously doubt someone could find another college that treats their WVB program in a more secretive way. Unless you have ties to their program like Dorothy seems to have, you cannot even find out what ladies PSU is trying to recruit now or in the past. They do announce their committed freshmen players but by then most of the players have already tweeted the news to the media. Now someone will call for my banishment from this website. I think most programs like to keep it close to the vest. Teams like to keep things within the group, as they should. Programs like to share some things with fans, keep them informed but certainly not critical information like recruiting details, personnel issues, injuries etc.... Recruiting is literally a war between programs, they don't want schools to know who they are pursuing, offering etc...... I wouldn't call it secretive as much as I would call it wise. I can tell you the number one fear or concern for college coaches are the message boards. Once it gets out to the yahoo fans, it gets embellished, speculated on........ The best coaches are always a little paranoid. I feel like the WI VB program is pretty open about things. If a player is injured such that she'll miss matches, they usually put up a news post about it. However, I have no idea who they're recruiting and I wouldn't ever presume that they'd tell me.

What would be the harm in releasing the names of recruits showing an interest in your VB program? It seems to work pretty well in other college sports like football and basketball.

MTC: In case c4ndlelight's point eluded you, NCAA regulations prohibit coaching staffs from discussing recruits with the public before the recruit signs an LOI.

It must have eluded the football and basketball coaching staffs also. Obviously, the rules must be different in those sports. I was thinking more along the lines of : schools wouldn't want to deter recruits if the recruits knew the scholly count or that it might scare off talent if the recruits saw the depth chart was filling up. This entire recruiting scene is a mystery to me. There is no way the Penn State football staff or basketball staff discuss recruits publically before the recruits sign LOIs. They may discuss recruiting generally, but not specific recruits.

I found out that Kendall is 5'5" soph. DS and Payton is her younger sister, a 5'7" freshman DS on he same Cathedral team. Kendall White, Soph., Cathedral (Indianapolis, Indiana) – White was named to the Class 4A All-State Second Team for the second year in a row. White also was a repeat selection on the Indianapolis all-city first team. “She continues to get better,” Cathedral coach Jean Kesterson said. White led Cathedral in digs with 381 (4.2 per set) and services aces (41). White was part of a Cathedral team that finished the regular season ranked No. 3 in the state’s largest class (4A). “Kendall White is a huge reason why this year’s team was so successful. Her fierce competitive drive was contagious. We were able to take floor defensive responsibility off our primary setter while Kendall covered her area of the court. In other words, Kendall covered three-fourths of the court and she did it well. Kendall White is a game-changer and will make any team better.” Per Prepvolleyball - what in the world did the other 5 kids do while she was covering 3/4 of the court, were they huddled in a corner? Holy Names, RR is picking up another DS/Libero!!??

The harm is boosters, people close to the program, who are overzealous reaching out to prospects, violating rules etc...... The best way to make sure you aren't violating rules is be able to manage and oversee the people who are involved in the recruiting process. The more people know, the greater the likelihood someone is going to do something they shouldn't. I would never tell boosters, the casual fan who I was recruiting, never. That is specifically why they don't.
