There are certain programs where you see a trend of getting those types of transfers... Begins with N and ends in A? Or....Begins with W; ends in N?

Not saying it’s good or bad but i’m okay with all legal forms of Poaching— and I use this term liberally to mean “attracting players from one program to your program” — mostly because I believe in not restricting the rights of players to freely move wherever they want.

I not very familiar with the process since Stanford doesn't look for transfers. So you must give up your scholarship at your present school, then put your name in the portal before any other school can contact you? And, if you have a scholarship at school X, then you are not supposed to contact school Y? There can be no communication between the player and other college coaches prior to the player's name being in the transfer portal. Once she requests to be put into the portal, then that line of communication is open but her current school is permitted to cancel her scholarship at the end of the semester. (Note: it's not even tied to scholarships necessarily. A walkon can't talk to other coaches without putting herself in the transfer portal either) 10-4, thx. Now I can see why "back channel" cheating might be used to secure the transfer of a talented OH (say) from a lower tier institution. As a follow on question, can an institution compile a list of "targets" by using detective work to determine if said targets are unhappy at their current institutions, assuming they don't explictedly violate the contact rules?

Besides, Hawaii has benefitted enormously from transfers (e.g., Heather Bown, Sarah Mason, Ali Longo, Nalani Yamas hita, Nohea Tano, Victoria Prince, Olivia Magill) so I’d be a hypocrite if I said otherwise. By the way, I know some of you may be thinking, “hey, dude, transfers are not the same as poaching.” Yes, I agree but I lumped transfers with poaching because I simply don’t know what went on behind closed doors between players and programs. I know all the stories about how players ended up in Hawaii but are they the true stories or just cover stories? Frankly, I don’t know.

I could be wrong, but I bet a lot to these transfers get off the ground because player A at institution X knows player B at institution Y. That is, they are pretty good friends and player A sends player B a text and says, "It sucks here, my coach sucks, and the weather sucks too."

MI6 operatives like James Bond know how to recruit and manage assets, teach them things like how to get to a rendezvous without getting tailed, and use burner phones. Standard procedure. See the field manual. You'd think. But watch your back - if Jiminy Cricket or Faye Dunaway whispers in the former asset's ear there's a chance a double agent is born.

How I imagine texts: "Dearest Abigail, It has been a long unrelenting winter. How I long for the sound of the wind whistling through the Sugar Cane and Pineapple. But alas, I am stuck in this frozen wasteland where nothing sings but the sorority sisters pining for the Bjorns. The sounds of the fight-song still ring in my ears. The alma-mater drifts like a drunken pastor through my dreams. Amidst all the bloodshed and chaos, I dream of you in the bright Hawaiian sunshine. Someday, I shall be thine."

He is really funny to follow.
