Didn't Johnson enroll at USC a semester early?

Strangely (pun absolutely intended) enough, USC does have a S/RS who just finished up her beach career but has one more season of indoor eligibility left. I'd love that. But would Alexa even want to play indoors?

I pictured Baylee accepting a Lamborghini from a booster to purposely give up her eligibility, and now she & Rachel Reed are out driving around the country entering summer beach vb tournaments. Baylee's vanity license plates: CYA MICK

But would Alexa even want to play indoors? Oh, I haven't the slightest idea - I was just thinking aloud, as it were, after reading the previous posts about USC/setting/beach players. But hey, for a free year of grad school...?

Baylee's vanity license plates: CYA MICK The Lamborghini will be fun initially but it's not like you can go racing in the streets without drawing unwanted attention from the cops. You have to take it to some race track. Anyway, as time goes by, the novelty of the Lamborghini will wear off and you'll soon seek something more sane like a Honda Accord. Well, unless you're an attention whore in which case I'll feel sorry for you because you'll be trying to lead a life that is extremely exhausting. Plus, all that self-loathing.

Well Baylee isn't on their roster anymore, and from her Twitter account it looks like she might have gotten into partying a little too much?

Have faith everyone, the Women of Troy will be just fine. Strange as a setter would be a great addition, but I have no idea if it will happen. We do need someone besides AP. Ford hopefully spent the entire off season working on her back row game and receiving serves. If she did, great things await. The PAC 12 is a difficult division, UCLA should be good, Oregon will be strong, Arizona (both) can hurt you, Washington is always in there, and Stanford is a regular powerhouse. I believe Ford is the key to the season, but finding a replacement for Baylee is right there too. That's a tough loss, assuming she's gone, and it seems to be true. We'll find out in a couple of month though, so lets give em' a chance. Mic won't go with just 1 setter, so he has something ready.

Tim Nollan was the guy I always saw at club tournaments recruiting (as well as Mick), how does his departure affect USC recruiting? Who will take up his responsibilities and how do you expect them to be similar and different? Only one 2018 commit so far although that seems a light year for needs. 2019 will likely require a Ford and Johnson replacement. This club season will be a big year to scout setters in particular as they seem to be first to go these days. BA should have a strong year, but she seems very quiet on the court. Bricio was an absolutely amazing player, and her presence commanded everyone's attention, but she wasn't a leader on the court. Ruddins may be, and Baylee certainly could have been, but that won't happen now. Whoever pops up as the leader needs to be on the court most of the time, if not all. Leadership is more than playing well, its leading, motivating when needed (think back to the 5th set of the Kansas match) which lacked some as last season entered the final regular season games. With a leader and a setter, USC will be just fine.

And your point is...? Death is imminent. Seriously, don't you have to pay a usage fee? Also, I suspect (but don't know) that you have to take some sort of racetrack safety course (for liability purposes) and these all cost $$$. I don't think they just open the gates for you and you just race to your heart's content.

Baylee is still at USC, and isn't leaving. She is working on her NCAA stuff and hopes to be eligible to play again this season. It's okay to dislike the Trojan family, and I understand how other schools are so jealous of them. Regardless of your hate, at least try to be factual when you post.

If Ford's passing is vastly improved, USC will be very good again if Baylee gets back on the court. I am hearing very good things about Nicole Davis' influence (as expected). Believe it or not academics are not easy at all at USC, especially since the university rapidly shifted its academic reputation. There are so many resources to help though, and USC always works its hardest to retain students (athlete or not).

I didn't sense any "hate" from anyone who posted, toward either the player or the school. It is understandably newsworthy when a starting (star) player disappears from a roster and also removes that school affiliation from their social media. I personally hope she is able to come back and lead the team in the near future.

That would be great, the thought of no Baylee was upsetting. Hope you are on the money
