I am definitely no fan of Sealy but his recruiting is definitely getting better. His 2016 class is definitely his best by a wide margin. Van Winden and Miller should be top 15 players and Gates seems to be much improved. Not getting Hart is disappointing but landing Mosser especially from Minnesota is huge. this guy can coach but his recruiting had been terrible for the past few years. With some good players on the roster, he can definitely "endure" but a NC seems unlikely unless he starts getting some top 5 talents Isn't Mosser just 5' 10? I don't think she is a huge commit. Because she's 5'10"? Is that what you're basing your evaluation on?

She's a great player. It's not a knock on her but shorter players won't help you get that far. Name the last national champion with a sub 6'0" outside hitter.

Fischer's 5' 10" and she hit .375 against Texas in the o-12 championship.

But for the fortuitous run to a national championship, Sealy could very likely be that shaggy bearded guy pushing a shopping cart in Venice Beach.
Since that title, he hasn't shown that he has what it takes. He's smart enough, but he's a curious combination of prickly and laid-back.

Watch this video and tell me if it is at least within the realm of possibility ...

Deme Morales was a finalist a couple years ago as a 5'7" OH.

am I the only one who is not convinced Muno can make the switch in such a short period of time to be a good setter at the college level?
I will not be surprised if Ryann Chandler starts over her.
Interestingly, Chandler left Pepperdine becos Ex Bruin Strehlow left to join the Waves
UCLA's setting situation was a mess over the last few years. Players like Nightingale and Lowe had to adjust to a different starting setter every year. Felix will be in the same situation if Miller starts in 2016

The last national champion with an actual sub-6'0" outside hitter, or listed as sub-6'0" on the roster?

Name the last national champion with a sub 6'0" outside hitter. Ironically, I think it was UCLA. Wasn't Reeves 5'11"? Reeves is listed at 6' on the UCLA roster, with Kidder and Love being even bigger. It sure wasn't Texas or a Penn State team. Nebraska had Larson and Mancuso, both listed at 6-2, with Pavan. Washington had Tomasevic, Morrison and Haggerty. Stanford in '03 - Nnamani and Richards and Hucke were all 6-1, right? USC had Ross and Burdine with Olsovsky - all taller than 6 foot - for both their runs. Stanford '01 was Nnamani, Ivy and some girl named Logan Tom. I don't remember who played with Metcalf and Pilakowski at Nebraska in 2000, but they don't show a hitter under 6' tall. 1999 Penn State had 6-2 Lauren Cacciamani and I don't know who played opposite her, and 1998 Was Long Beach with Veronica Walls playing right side at 5'10" and I'm not sure how tall Jessica Alvado was - but that was before rally scoring. Fair to say if you are going to win a title you should probably plan on putting some size on the pins. That said, there isn't much difference between 5'11" and 6' so it may just be one of those things...

Stein brought a lot of knowledge and energy to practice and the sideline and will be missed.

Brazil won the last Olympics with a starting lineup that included two outside hitters that were 5'10" and 6'0". Your argument is invalid.

Sorry, which player on UCLA's roster is now being compared to Fernanda Garay? I'm not sure how hard I should be laughing.
BTW, UCLA isn't winning a national title this year anyway, the the 6' thing, while fun to think about, is kinda trivial, isn't it?
