Someone posted that she had flu like symptoms and wasn't feeling well, but feeling better now. I feel like you’re implying I invented the whole soul stealing thing out of thin air. Hahahaha! Just giving another option on why she wasn’t playing! It could be your thing also!

Texas has such a stacked team, can't wait to see who gets to start. But what about the girls who won't get much game time? Especially those who could be standouts elsewhere. Is winning a third national championship the quest for this season?
What factors are players taking into account when transferring to Texas instead of Nebraska or Wisconsin? Is it all NIL?

Why are you asking the question about the girls that don't get much playing time? They don't get much playing time just like the backups at any other school. Yes, the national championship is the goal. Just like it is most any year for Texas. Not just because it will be 3 in a row if we win it. It's not all NIL.

What factors are players taking into account when transferring to Texas instead of Nebraska or Wisconsin? Is it all NIL? Probably many factors. NIL, ability to win championships, player development, academics, student life. Similar to what the high school process is like, but more with more focus on the NIL and winning among players Texas/Neb/Wis are looking at.

Is winning a third national championship the quest for this season? What factors are players taking into account when transferring to Texas instead of Nebraska or Wisconsin? Is it all NIL? Winning the national championship is the quest for every season for every sport. Obviously that isn’t going to happen, but all 21 teams at Texas are given the resources and support necessary to compete for national championships, and that’s the expectation. Volleyball has been exceptional in that regard lately, but that has always been, and will always be, the aspiration. I don’t know all the reasons players either come to Texas in the first place, or stay after they do. Players transfer out of Texas. Melanie Parra started for TCU and DeAndra Pierce started for Georgia Tech last year after transferring out. Not every player finishes their eligibility. Brionne Butler didn’t. Texas doesn’t win every recruiting battle, either out of high school or through the portal. They lost HS recruit Campbell Flynn to Nebraska and transfer Layla Blackwell as well. But if Texas is recruiting against a team other than Nebraska (Stanford used to be tough as well, and naybe still is), the Longhorns and Elliott are tough to beat. In terms of advantages, it starts with resources and support. Volleyball FEELS important the moment a potential player steps on campus. The facilities and support staff are top notch. Athletes overall feel catered to, a step above and beyond the general student body. That’s not uncommon, but it is a necessary foundation, and no one does that aspect better, although several big budget schools do it as well. Elliott is a critical component. Even Texas cannot win with just anyone. Successful programs have the right person in charge. Elliott is charismatic, he listens well, he’s fantastic at identifying, recruiting, and retaining outstanding people in their own right and surrounding himself with them. Austin is a massive component. For example, Madison, WI is a legendary college town, and rightfully so. But if you’re 18 to 28 years of age, Austin in many ways feels like the center of coolness. It’s a college town and a huge city rolled into one. When South by Southwest or Austin City Limits are going on it feels like THE place to be. It’s pretty. The Hill Country is a beautiful setting. The school itself is an impressive public school. And yeah, winning begets winning. As a highly competitive student athlete they want to win at the highest levels. There’s an inherent appeal in all of us for being a part of something bigger than ourselves. It helps give us meaning to our lives. When we’re united in a common goal and then as a team we go out and achieve that goal, it’s hard to duplicate that feeling any other way. The last two years the players at Texas have won their last game of the season and experienced the ecstasy that goes along with that. It’s tough not to want to have that experience again, or for players coming onboard, to experience that for themselves. Oh, and as far as NIL is concerned, it’s my opinion if programs don’t have a robust NIL vehicle associated with their athletic department it’s going to be difficult to compete for national championships consistently. I don’t think it’s a matter of buying the best team possible every year. To me it’s more like the facilities aspect. If you’re not constantly renovating and introducing new facilities, as an athletic department you’re not even really in the game of attracting the best athletes. Same with NIL. The best athletes are looking for more than a payday. They want the whole package. But if one program is showing how it’s possible to earn 5 and 6 digits every year, and they have a roster full of girls doing just that, and the next program has a bit of a laissez faire attitude that, “yeah, you can go out and do that kind of stuff” there’s going to be a massive tendency to choose the former.

Why am I asking a question on a discussion board? Texas has a huge roster… obviously not everyone will get court time.

Crawford transferred to Wisconsin from KU, but now in her last year of eligibility she’s about to find herself behind Booth and Robinson with the Badgers likely returning to a 5-1. Is she making a mistake by sticking around? Why should she? Players have to ask these questions and come up with the answer themselves. It’s going to happen on all top teams.

Not Stanford, but definitely in the top tier of public universities. It's maybe not a coincidence that it seems like a good portion of the team majors in business-related fields, having access to McCombs is no small thing. 3. Great sports program generally. 4. We're still limited to 12 scholarships. Maybe the 8 walk-ons like the NIL, or maybe they don't want a professional VB career and starting/playing time is less of a focus of them

What is your exact question because it doesn't appear the question you asked is the one that you want answered? It's obvious that the players who don't start are going to play less. How else can one answer the question that was asked?

I have answered the question twice that you wrote. From your responses, it seems obvious that you really are wanting the answers to a different question(s), but for some reason you aren't asking that question. You say you want to know about the training/practice world, but you have yet to ask a single question about that topic.

You say you want to know about the training/practice world, but you have yet to ask a single question about that topic. Stevehorn the grouchy bully. Thanks for being a douchebag. My father passed away earlier this week, and I hoped onto VT as an escape. Was just hoping to take my mind off some things. Maybe in the future you just ignore the posts if you can’t respond kindly. Go ahead and block my account. Your question was answered multiple times to vary degrees of detail. When you ask inane questions, you get inane answers. "But what about the girls who won't get much game time?" Ok, yeah, what about them? They're on the team and the ones who don't get much playing time won't get much playing time. They're backups and role players. What's your question? "Is winning a third national championship the quest for this season?" Has there ever been a question asked with a more obvious answer? Of course. You're doing the internet wrong if you're in your feelings and you hop on the internet and go to a message board to ask questions and you're not prepared for standard internet answers.
