Interesting choice. Good for her. Really good fit for her, I think. She'll make a difference there if she's in-shape and healthy. |

Sackett from WVU to Montana. That makes 4 starters (setter and 3 kill leaders) leaving the 'Eers via transfer.

Is the new coach that bad? I don't THINK so...? Theis built himself a solid mid-major program at Ohio. There's no reason to believe that he won't be able to do the same at Marquette. Perhaps this is just the usual "new coach" upheval, combined with Bailey's departure and Haggarty's higher-than-usual-profile decision to go elswhere, making things look worse than they are. He's got some good 2016s coming in who are currently playing on Milwaukee Sting 17 Gold, which is really doing well this year. I'm hoping things settle down by then. |

Does that upheaval usually happen in a program that has been as successful at Marquette's has? Especially considering zero of the current players followed Bond to Iowa. |

Not sure about the line "Theis built himself a solid mid-major program at Ohio." I'd have to say Geoff Carlston did that (144-22 in 5 seasons), not sure how many MAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships or NCAA Tournament wins Goeff had, but Theis certainly inherited a great program (and did not continue with the same dominance that Ohio had when Geoff was there). Not quite at the same level, but Marquette was doing pretty well when he took over there as well. |

Not quite at the same level, but Marquette was doing pretty well when he took over there as well. Fair. At the time I started following volleyball more than just casually, Theis was at Ohio and Carlston at tOSU. It didn't occur to me to look back and check the history. Also, my only real experience with coaching changes since I started following the sport seriously are Waite to Sheff at Wisconsin (close obesrvation), Hebert to Hugh at Minnesota more casual observation, and now watching Dingman to Bond at Iowa, and the resulting change to Theis at Marquette. So it seems there are 2 kinds of coaching changes: The ones where a coach is brought in to turn a program around, and the ones where a successful coach moves on or retires. Sheffield is obviously the former, and he didn't lose any of Waite's recruits to transfer (though a couple of walk-on DSs who didn't see much playing time left the team). Bond is also the former, and he's had some of Dingman's recruits transfer out. However, there's general agreement that Pete could recruit, but development was where he faltered. Dingman perhaps had more trouble attracting star recruits. Minnesota had a bit of a dip when Hugh came in, though I think they'll be getting back into the swing of things this year. Marquette seems to be following in that vein. Would people say this is common for that kind of coaching change? |

I feel like Marquette could be okay in a couple of years, but this mass exodus from the program this past year will probably not bode well from the program. Its one thing to have people who haven't received much playing time transfer, but almost all of Marquette's starting line up this past year is gone now. That just seems really weird to me. |

Its one thing to have people who haven't received much playing time transfer, but almost all of Marquette's starting line up this past year is gone now. That just seems really weird to me. Yeah. Also when you consider where they went. I'm still inclined to put Bailey in a different bucket than the others. She went from Big East to Big Ten, a decent jump. She can play at a higher level, and chose to go do that. But the others: Long Beach State, Georgia Tech, and Loyola-Chicago. I'm not sure where Loyola-Chicago falls, but I'd categorize Marquette as being on about the same level as Long Beach State and Georgia Tech. These seem like lateral transfers. Benda's from NC, so Georgia is closer to home. Barber is from Germany, so closer to home is kind of relative. And it sounds like there were family considerations involved with Kocken going to Loyola. I dunno, maybe Bailey just started a trend? I'm with you, it just seems.... off. |

UCF also picks up Michelle McLaughlin from Tenessse-Martin. She is friends with Maddie Haggerty.

Speaking of UT-Martin, they signed four transfers, including two of her Columbus State kids* to UTM (setter Ellie Cain and middle Rachel Noffsinger). She also added 5'9 OH Alanna Watt from Feather River College in California and Cheatham from Troy.
Cheatham will be great for them, however there's no way Noffsinger and Watt are remotely as good as Molitor and McLaughlin who transferred out. And by transferred out, I mean told their scholarship will not be renewed.
