Because getting rid of Nagel is easier said then done. You can't just get rid of a coach without a plan especially bc Duke relies on high school recruits & can't rebuild the portal the same way other schools can because of their academic criteria. If a coaching change results in decommits, that can take years to try and fix. Just look at NW and ND. It feels like the AD is waiting on whenever Kellie Catanach Johnson is ready to step up and lead because she's next in line. Glass and ZGM are the big recruits right? They are both coming no matter who is the coach. High academic kids that Stanford didn't recruit. Sure but I'm more referring to the other recruits + 2026s. With how things are looking, we can't afford to lose any of the recruits that are coming. Jeremy is recruiting better than the recruiter before him which the poor recruiting from the previous recruiter partially contributed to what landed us in whatever this season is. |

They have two really good players coming in this year that we passed on. I think the program is on the rise. What happened to Kerry Keefe? She was supposed to be the best of the Keefe sisters. Played on the same club team as Rubin. Hitting 100. Keefe had a bad match but, overall, she leads the team in kills (367), kills per set and points per set by quite a bit. (3.60 kps, 4.08 pps, next leading scorer, Richardson, has 180 kills, 2.20 kps, 2.61 pps, next highest points per set are 2.86 pps). SHe's eighth overall in the ACC for kills. |

Glass and ZGM are the big recruits right? They are both coming no matter who is the coach. High academic kids that Stanford didn't recruit. We all ready had a good freshman setter on the team, Taylor Yu, and we've got Logan Parks coming in next year who can also set. Stanford will likely target setters for 2027 and/or 2028. I was talking to the Duke guy. We passed on both Glass and ZGM. But they are both pretty good and are big recruits for a team like Duke. |

Girls are signing to come to Duke. Hard to believe they are signing because of the coach or the volleyball program. Both are not good.... Glass had offers from way better programs but wanted to go to Duke for the academics. |

I don't see any top recruits choosing Duke BECAUSE of the coach, but more likely, IN SPITE of the coach... Duke ought to be able to bring in a very good coach that the recruits would consider an upgrade. |

The issue is consistently bringing in quality talent to play at Duke and (hopefully) improve the program. Not every Duke class top to bottom has been good. One or two good players in a class isn't enough. Charlotte + her family are Duke fans which also helped. The coaching staff is more than just Jolene and she isn't the coach I would say is responsible for bringing her here. |

It's the "Oh-Glive" that gets me. All the announcer has to do is confirm the pronunciation with Stanford staff. Just finished watching the VDO of the game. OMG, now I knew what the "Oh-Glive" is all about. My Gosh! he was the worst. Got so many names wrong. Call Rubin as Kurt as well. But the "Oh-Glive", what???😂😂😂 |

Duke needs a new head coach. If that head coach choose to bring in their own staff and lets the current assistants go, so be it. Duke can be a solid program that makes the tournament each year. I do question the buy in from the athletic department though. They share every facility and have to bring in plastic signs to hang over the banisters that list their championships for home games, and then remove them when the game is over. It just looks bad IMO.

The coaching staff is more than just Jolene and she isn't the coach I would say is responsible for bringing her here. Rubin was literally going to Duke until Hambly offered her right before she committed. She said that in an on-air post-game interview her freshman year. Players are gonna commit to Duke regardless of who the coaching staff is. This idea of this imaginary gulf-sized difference between Stanford and Duke is pretty laughable. The major difference between the two programs is the coaching. Duke has a ton of talent on its roster and even if Hambly was coaching them, they'd have way more wins this season. Nagel just ain't it. |

I can't believe Stanford almost didn't get Rubin. Hambly not seeing the vision with Brooke Nunneviller was a big miss imo. I'm sure this has been discussed but was K. Keefe considering Stanford? It's crazy that her whole family went to Stanford and she went elsewhere

It's crazy that her whole family went to Stanford and she went elsewhere Stanford didn’t have an available schollie for a right side in that class, but they did want her. Just no money. |
