Isn't it great that Nwanebu has ended up at Jerritt's program in spite of Mick doing everything he could to ensure she transferred anywhere but Texas? #karma It would be if that were accurate. He attempted to block her transfer to any school they played in 2015, plus Texas and Notre Dame, not just Texas. Splitting hairs there. Bottom line is there was no apparent reason whatsoever to include Texas or Notre Dame on that restricted list, other than spite. Let's not pretend that Mick wasn't being #petty.

Apparent to you, maybe.

Restricting a player from transferring to a school within driving distance from home, or to a school who only won like 6 matches in 2014 makes perfect sense.

Let's not pretend that Mick wasn't being #petty. splitting hairs? you specifically said he tried to prevent her from transferring "anywhere" but Texas specifically. Petty would be he blocked it for no reason other than sticking it to Tx or Elliott. He had reason to believe Texas was in contact with her directly or indirectly before she asked for a transfer. I have no knowledge of whether or not they did, and certainly not saying they did, they have no history of unethical behavior and frankly don't need to. Clearly the USC admin didn't see it that way. I am simply stating HE felt there was cause, which would mean it wasn't petty.

Grudge with McLaughlin? She didn't even end up visiting Notre Dame (that we know of).

I think Elliott has answered your question with the recruiting decision he's made for the setter position in the coming years. Why? Because Shook is 6'2"? Allison was 5'11" and a top ten recruit. Kocher, another SPVB kid, was 5'10". What revolutionarily new recruiting decisions is he making at the setter position? Thank you for saying this...I fail to see some revolutionary change in recruiting strategy from Elliott. He's always liked tall athletic girls. Add Jenny Andrew and Ashley Engle to the list of tall setters he recruited. The semifinal jinx/change in recruiting strategy is yet another storyline created in one poster's mind to give him more reason to up his post count.

Elliot is bringing in probably a top 5 2016 class and a top 2 2017 class. If they don't win a natty in the next 5 years then something is wrong with the coaching not recruiting.

Why do people fail to realize that it takes much more than coaching or players to win a national championship? It also takes luck, health of the players and how the draw plays out as well. Just because Texas recruits well and they don't win a national championship doesn't mean anything is wrong. Once you get to the Final Four, anything can happen and that's where luck and health factor in.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Often times, these kids come out of their high school and (Open) club season and are All World according to Prep Volleyball. They have a really difficult time adjusting to this next level. The quickness of the game, the strength of the girls, the crazy back row play has never been seen by these Diaper Dandys! Being away from home for the 1st time can be difficult. The level of play is crazy, especially in the top 25 of NCAA volleyball......Not to mention the academic rigors of a D-1 (or D-2, D-3, NAIA) student athlete. This takes so much time to develop and nurture. In my opinion, saying that this is a coaching issue is a stretch.

What a shock another poster who questions Texas volleyball. haha what a shock another worthless post let me save you the trouble here "texas can't pass". your whole existence on volleytalk is predicated on the fact that "texas can't pass", could you be any more worthless? what a complete DB. grow the hell up. When Texas fails to win a national championship because they cant pass Salima Rockwell would be the answer as coach.
