I wonder if Stanford will get a Setter to transfer in? Since Xu is out with a ACL injury. I'm curious to see FIdelak set! Stanford has a walk-on setter for next season as well (Malia Tufuga). She is good! So I don’t think Stanford needs a setter transfer with Xu, Fidelak and Tufuga. Fidelak setting - imagine a 6’2 lefty with beautiful hands.. I’ve seen her play. Sorry but she is just okay. Not quick.

Get ready for this transfer portal to be red hot this off season. This makes me sad, but I do get it. Even if you do your research, think a place is a good fit and checks all the boxes, sometimes the dynamic changes. The ease of the transfer portal creates dominoes and current athletes from the receiving school are nudged to move on no matter the roots they have established. It's truly the ugly side of collegiate volleyball. However, I do get it, it is competition and people have their jobs/livelihood at stake. The transfer stories of success are certainly out there, but what about those hard-working kids that are told what they had been sold on in the recruiting process just isn't going to happen and aggressively encouraged to look elsewhere? They really feel they have no choice.

Get ready for this transfer portal to be red hot this off season. I agree....seems a lot of players are itching to move for more playing time. Like already stated....with so many players moving around it can be tough for transfers searching for a stable landing site with all the movement. May be an interesting off season.

It should make you happy that coaches can't force a player to stay at a place where they are unhappy, and the portal has provided them a second chance at a better (in their eyes) college volleyball career.
And, what's most unfortunate is that how a coach or coaches present themselves during the recruitment process doesn't always translate to how they conduct themselves once a recruit signs and shows up and begins classes and college volleyball practice. That's what should make folks sad.

While recognizing both sides, vbfamily was pretty succinct in stating exactly what causes sadness. People feel they way they feel, not the way someone else says they should feel. There is usually more to it which cannot be stated in an open forum.

Honestly I am good with it if a player finds themselves in a position where the fit isn’t there and they WANT something different. However, I’m talking about if the player is happy, loves the school, community, teammates etc. competes hard every day in practice and has held up their side of the deal. Then because the coach wants to open up a scholarship, starts treating them poorly to make that part miserable solely to make them leave, that is what is sad. Of course the player could stay and endure, since they signed a 4-year financial agreement (well, Power 5–and some others—did it specifically to take that financial power away from coaches).

There is usually more to it which cannot be stated in an open forum. It's an interesting perspective that is really challenging and nuanced. For example, Amanda Phegley from PSU was a great recruit who was probably going to be a star for PSU. At some point other good players like Hord, Gray, and Parker were added to that team or excelled in practice and Phegley's role became diminished. The dynamic changed. It's a bad spot for Phegley but Rose and PSU are in the business of competitive sports and are going to do everything to field a team that will be successful. Is the transfer portal a spot for Phegley to find a place where she can excel or is it her last resort that she's forced into? As an aside, there are a lot of players of Phegley's talent that go on to play pro volleyball and the on court experience is really necessary to make that step. It doesn't look like she will get that on court experience at PSU so maybe this is an important move for her future career.

But that's the world of competition.
