Yeah I would talk to John Calipari, but they have an NBA. i Not aware of any professional volleyballl program in the states where you can make a couple of million dollars a year. How about those apples As silly as this guy sounds I agree its impressive that Calipari does it year after year but he's successful because of the mindset of the athletes throughout the season. Those guys going in and out of Kentucky have probably more positive experiences from the beginning to the end of the season compared to a Middle Tennessee or Tennessee where halfway through they are probably burned out or mentally exhausted hence the transfers. Two completely different reasons kids are leaving after a year and both have players leaving with different outlooks on the program from which they came.

How can you build a program if over the past couple of years players are leaving. Here are some stats on players who have moved on: Jale Hervey (OH)-University of Central Florida: 3.47 kills per set, hitting percentage .275 Tyler Richardson (MB)-Ohio State University: .99 kills per set, hitting percentage .260, blocks per set .99 (Big 10 is the toughest confernce in the nation) Allyssa Ivey-Auburn (S/DS) (If I am not mistaken Tennessee player of the year) 434 digs, 422 serve receives, was recruited as a setter Bri McCombs-(L/DS)- Lipscomb 496 digs 4.35 d/s in Atlantic Sun Conference, 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Year. It seems to me that these players have gone on to other schools and are having very good seasons, again why did they transfer. Athletes quit/change schools all the time. How do you build a program with athletes who are there for only a year? --Go talk with John Calipari. But Calipari knows going in he's only getting one year out of certain players, and recruits accordingly. You know how everyone raves about Russ Rose getting the "best recruiting class in history" in 2014? Calipari gets that kind of class almost every year. He has to in order to stay on top, because of the huge annual talent drain from Kentucky's roster. Give MTSU (or anyone else) five of the top twelve national recruits every year and they would have a chance to be very successful even if those players only lasted a season because of the sheer level of talent on the court. And then sustain that success by bringing in an equally talented class the next season. Otherwise, pretty tough to do.

It is relevant. He gets kids and has success in the space of a single season.
Everyone acts like transfers are a new thing--they aren't. Kids have been switching school for 30+ years--the only difference is now it makes Volleytalk so it seems like this is a new thing or that there's a huge increase in transferring students.

Correction, transfers are de rigeur for football and basketball, not saying that volleyball has been exempt. I think with the early signings, the rise in prestige in early signing, and the pressure for the top kids to commit, kids are making more rash decisions and hence feeling more regrets.

I think with the early signings, the rise in prestige in early signing, and the pressure for the top kids to commit, kids are making more rash decisions and hence feeling more regrets. I hate to say this but I think it's perfectly natural for feelings of regret to creep in. We like to view student-athletes as these static entities who never change (except for their skillset, of course). The fact of the matter is, college student-athletes are dynamic entities who undergo a tremendous amount of change in their very short 4- (sometimes 5-) year college careers. It would be unreasonable to expect them to like the same things that they did when they were 16- or 17-year old high school students. During my 4-year college experience, I had regrets in majors, college choice, fraternity choice, apartment choices, and just about everything else. I didn't know why I was in a constant state of flux. I bet most of those Hawaii recruits who "dreamed of playing for the Wahine" probably get over it after a semester. Been there done that. What's next?

Per Richkern 1/1/15, Victoria "Tori" Simmons an early verbal commitment to MTSU signed with Belmont. Wonder what made a local backyard player (Siegel HS, Murfreesboro, TN) change her mind? Good get for Belmont though!!

Wow. The saga goes on. Another player leaves the program. Jazmyne Johnson. How many players are they down to.
