A great opportunity for a coach that can build a program. They should totally go after Kristen Rohr. In Phoenix and she has over achieved. ASU should at a minimum be a top 15 school. It has under achieved for years

It has under achieved for years Why leave a top 10 program you've built, where athletic and volleyball success has been rising, to go to a school that has the problems that ASU's athletic department has? If I were Kristin, I'd stay at Grand Canyon.

A good coach at ASU is going to pull some of the prospects that Kristen has been getting to go to ASU. Say what you want negatively about ASU, but a lot of 18 year olds prospects would welcome the opportunity of going to Tempe if they were more competitive. I cant imagine that there are two people less disappointed with this than Grand Canyon and Arizona who are their main competitors for athletes. You are right though. All I know about ASU is the football scandal. Not sure about anything else.
And as far as why would you leave a program you built its simple. Money and credibility. Can she make more money doing camps at ASU? If Grand Canyon drops to #15 and doesn't qualify for Gulf Shores two years in a row she may now be in trouble. Get ASU into the top 15 and she would do what they have never done before. I'm a nobody but I have left a business to build a new one. Stein just left UCLA to build a new program.

I've got to think there are a lot of recruits who would consider ASU but not Grand Canyon, if they are thinking at all about what kind of academic institution they are attending. ASU is no UCLA academically, but it's a well-respected research university. Grand Canyon is a religious college trying to elevate itself through sports (and being pretty successful at it).
Of course, there's also at least some uncertainty about whether USC and UCLA will be remaining in the Pac for beach volleyball. If they are kicked out, the conference becomes a lot less daunting.

Totally true about the PAC 12 aspect but it is so easy to line up matches with top schools like USC, UCLA, LSU, TCU and Florida State if you seek it. Programs like Grand Canyon and Georgia State seem to look for those matches and others seem to avoid them to pad their records. Possibly so that ADs feel like the program is doing better than it actually is?
