Anyone ever looked at transfers after freshman year by club? I wonder if overly influential club recruiting directors are pushing players into programs that don’t suit them. At my daughter’s club, the recruiting director emphasized that she should find a school that she wanted to attend even if she didn’t play volleyball. BUT, he also talked about a transfer strategy in case the schools she wanted already had their recruiting classes filled. Recruiting pre-nup

I assume the coaches of the school she ends up going to don’t know about the pre-planned strategy. Makes it tough on that team when no matter the experience, the original school is going to lose the athlete when the school she “really wanted” becomes available. 😩

Obviously, the only athlete I heard the recruiting director talk to was my own. So, I cannot say if it is a common practice at the club. On the other hand, she was upfront as to the type of school she wanted to attend. If a coach makes an offer thinking he/she can make it work down the road, who’s fault is that?

Glad the coach knew they had to show it actually could be a good fit and it worked out. I think if coaches know you are looking for X-Y-Z but they only have X & Y, they convince the athlete to give it a shot and commit. I’ve seen that happen all the time where the athlete finds out it is actually a great fit.

DePaul graduated 4 seniors including All Big East 5th year senior, starting setter, starting DS and reserve DS then lost 3 to transfers including 2 starters (including other setter in their 6-2) and was not deep at all to begin with. Recruiting class was below average for 2020 coming off of a much improved season record, there must be more to the story here. When 7 of your top 11 are gone it back to square one once again. Anyone hear anything on St. John's recruiting violations? Villanova, Butler, Marquette and Creighton should be top 4 in 2020.

In the Big East, I am presuming. I was reading Baylor for Butler and was very confused. Thank you.

Just a small nit, she likes it spelled elan, with a small "e". I found that to be odd, but hey it's her name. She and Jada Burse were some of the most unhappy players I'd seen play against my Longhorns, twice a year. I assume she is a very spirited individual?

Damn, Mizzou is literally a really good Transfer University. Like, the best at it. Will be fun to see if she makes a dent in the lineup.
