Wow.How did Duke pull that off? Rumors were that Greene and Iloh were both all-in academically when looking for their programs, those rumors seem to be legit. |

Wow.How did Duke pull that off? Frankly, I think Duke should be landing these types of kids more regularly. After Stanford, there are very few schools who can match the combination of both athletic and academic prestige. And there are a lot of really smart athletes in the Top 100 of each class. |

Speaking of. I wonder if she applied to Stanford. |

Good work by that recruiting coach. |

So I’m confused, did Sami Francis commit to Stanford or not?

After Stanford, there are very few schools who can match the combination of both athletic and academic prestige. And there are a lot of really smart athletes in the Top 100 of each class. Obviously, Stanford is a different beast in this regard, whether that is due to investment in their athletics, historic proximity to talent, or whatever the case may be. Maybe as Power 5, highly regarded private schools, Notre Dame, Duke, Northwestern and Vanderbilt should do much better in recruiting for volleyball than they do. They could, in theory, all be Stanford-light. I have always liked some players on Northwestern, just not enough of them in any given year. Duke does great in men's hoops and lacrosse, but I am not sure what else. Notre Dame lives and breathes football. So, it obviously CAN be done at those schools. Of course, to play Devil's Advocate (as I like to do...deal with it)....aren't we really splitting hairs on academic prestige when you compare the privates like Duke, Northwestern , Notre Dame and Vanderbilt to highly regarded publics like UCLA, UC-Berkley, Michigan, UVa, Wisconsin, Illinois, UNC, etc? Those schools can really bring it academically. Especially when we are talking about undergraduate education. Ask me about post-grad, Med School, Law School, etc. and I may have a different take. |

Yeah, Vanderbilt is terrible at recruiting for volleyball. Can't even field a team...  |

I think the whole academic prestige part hits it square on the nose. Undergrad doesn't really matter, especially in 2020. There are pretty much a handful of truly name brand schools that carry a bit higher "wow" factor when it comes to undergrad, but Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt aren't among them. I have a number of friends in recruiting for both Amazon and Microsoft and all have said that undergrad degrees don't really matter much across top 50 schools or so when it comes to their recruiting. |

That still only affects one class of athletes in terms of a team's scholarship allocation (and only a percentage of that since athletes will move on). That doesn't create parity. Parity would require multiple classes of talent going to other schools. Roster management will be a little stressful for a year, but it's not going to have an appreciable affect on the haves vs. have nots. |

I honestly did not even know that  I just assumed they were lousy like about 10 other SEC teams. Undefeated last season, though. So there's that. |
