With all the talk about professional players, I've been wondering about this years graduating seniors. What is this years class planning on doing now that their collegiate careers are done? Who will be playing professionally and where are they going to play?

This appeared in last Friday's Daily Bruin about J.T. Wenger:
"MEN'S VOLLEYBALL: UCLA outside hitter J.T. Wenger has signed on to play professional volleyball in Puerto Rico with Plataneros de Corozal.
He will play as long as the team continues to await the arrival of more experienced players from Brazil to complete the roster.
"J.T. is a very humble and proactive player," Plataneros assistant coach Steven Fenosik said in a statement.
The 6-foot-4-inch Wenger completed his eligibility at UCLA last month, averaging 2.84 kills per game and starting the majority of the season as a fifth-year senior in place of Jonathan Acosta, who was recovering from injury."
J.T. proved to be a very valuable player this year for the Bruins. He was instrumental in many victories and as a senior he really stepped up this year to help put the Bruins back into the top tier. He is a tireless worker who is the epitomy of a team player, never selfish, always ready to do whatever he was called upon to do. With Acosta having an illness-laden season and just not himself due to his January appendicitis burst, J.T. stepped in to not just fill the void, but to earn it and to be a major force. I hope he has a successful time in P.R.
