but it was magnified in volleyball because players committed so young. That wasn’t happening to the same extent in football or basketball You might be surprised how often it happens in football. It regularly happens that guys who commit to Arizona see their rankings drop. A couple of years ago a guy dropped hundreds of spots almost two months after any games had been played. No one had new film, but he plummeted less than a week after giving his verbal. Softball is another sport that used to have girls commit at the age of 13-14. That's banned now. I couldn't honestly say if rankings are more stable now, though.

Unfortunately, that's true in just about all sports. I suspect some of the recruiting services simply don't see a lot of players, so they default to "she must be good because xyz wants her" and "she must not be that great because xyz isn't after her." but it was magnified in volleyball because players committed so young. That wasn’t happening to the same extent in football or basketball IMO volleyball ratings are better than most sports, especially football. Ranking high school athletes in women's sports should always be better than comparable men's sports because the typical girl reaches physical maturity faster than the typical boy. Because of the extensive club system, you get the opportunity to watch highly rated recruits play against equally talented players. Those are two of the factors that make football rankings such a crap shoot. I think one of the problems with volleyball rankings is that there is so much emphasis on the individual numbered rankings rather than utilizing something like a star system where recruits are discussed in levels. Basically is there as much of a difference between the #10 and #25 ranked player as fans tend to believe?

I don’t see her starting over Denny or Arial Would Keller bring her to USC and would she transfer from UCLA if both didn't anticipate her starting?

I mean, Kelly Sheffield isn't looking for a setter transfer. Yeah, everybody is willing to add transfers to upgrade to some degree. But this is what? Three? Four? transfers of athletes who I assume have the expectation of starting. With basically their entire lineup returning.
