Free Izzy! She hasn't seen the floor once. It's not like the ones ahead of her on the floor are tearing it up. If you give her a chance, I think she will do well. Sealy's decisions are a little nutty sometimes.

Sealy should run a modified 5-1. Chandler back row and Muno front row Problem is Muno is one of the best defensive setters in the country. Muno's a good setter because she does all the little things things better than others. She just needs a lot of work as an out of system setter.

Next year a great class. The coaches now have a better understanding of the recruiting wars. Future is bright. Sealy is one of a handful of coaches that has won a NC. I'm shocked at the haters. He treats the kids with respect, doesn't yell, scream or cuss. Acts professional on the sidelines Winning a National Championship at UCLA gives a coach a 5 year buffer....................................but thats it.

I don't think it's about winning Nat'l Championships ... it is about being competitive in the Pac-12 (with a chance to win the conference title most years). If you are not competitive, you start losing recruits to Stanford, USC, UW, etc. It is vicious downward cycle.

That's why they have the most of all schools. Sealey is a very good coach. He can spot raw talents and develop them. Given their recruiting classes in most recent years, they have been outperforming many other top schools when it comes to the NCAA tournament. They are getting real solid talents next year, so the rest of Pac12, watch out!

Sealy as a former setter no doubt prefers a 5-1. His recent preference for Muno over Chandler seems to be defense--blocking reach. It certainly doesn't appear to be because of her superior set location. Chandler is doing a better job at locating middles. So, if he is consistently biased toward size, Miller will be the setter next year. Not only has she run a 5-1, but she locates well, makes good decisions, and is more athletic: taller at 5'11", stronger, and jumps well. So, she'll be the setter. While one could maybe argue about who the top 2016 setter in the country is, Miller's package of setting skills, defense, jump serve, leadership, and pure athleticism place her above Iosia and Gray imo. Consani was a weaker setter, blocker, and defender than Moenoa. Your argument doesn't pan out.

It does unless you kokyu are Sealy and your intent was to weaken the team at every facet of the game in this position by starting the inferior player. Wha?

Lowe showed signs of greatness her freshman year and then had a meteoric rise. But honestly I can't name a UCLA player since Lowe graduated. Maybe their recruiting has really fallen off. I recall a period of time where UCLA was just recruiting these anonymous blonde journey-women. Decent at a lot things but not great at anything. Or maybe I'm thinking of Florida with their team full of Jennies. Anyhow it'd be a shame if UCLA can't land some top tier talent and continue to stagnate.

I like UCLA, but I usually think of them as a solid team of blondes. No dominant players, but all their players have solid skills. In the past 10 years I only remember Spicer, Meriweather, Love, Kidder, and Lowe.

"Will UCLA be relevant?"
The answer is YES! They have done more with less talent so far this year, can you imagine is Sealy is as good at recruiting as he is at coaching/ players development?

The Bruins have been switching setters between Chandler & Muno all season long. Do you know why one starts over the other... Chandler did well against the AZ schools, but Muno started this past weekend against the Oregon schools. Just curious if you know why... thanks
