actually coffee is supposed to be good for you if you don't overdo it I like coffee: I don't like tea; I like Volleyball yessiree GO HUSKERS I love the taste of coffee but have quit for good. In reality it's very bad for everyone, suppresses serotonin production in gut microbiome and also this: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17223552This kind of commentary leads me to believe that your blood type is "Be negative".

I mean, unless SC can clear a scholarship I can't imagine she'd want to walk on there. Plus already have Owes, Botkin, Denny, Weske & Schirmer on the pins. In terms of transfers, I suspect USC will be looking for either a stud MB or an elite L. Those are the only two weaknesses on the roster. Is Akana ready to start at L as a freshman in the PAC? McCall is a huge get for anyone if healthy OK well firstly it's important to note - and I know you're aware of this trojan because you're a smart guy, but just in case anyone else reads this - it's impossible to say for certain if any freshman is ready to start until they're actually doing it. That said; and I don't know Akana personally, I believe she's from a family of athletes and that helps. Girls with parents or older siblings who have competed at a collegiate level usually enter the gym with a better idea of what's expected & there is less of a culture shock. Working against Akana is that she's been playing as an OH. I know there's this idea that you can just convert any undersized Outside to a Libero but in my experience it isn't that simple. A girl can have all the athletic skills in the world but if she's not experienced as a Libero she won't read the game like a good one does. That usually means she'll rely on raw athleticism rather than fundamentals. Those are the type of players who, in my opinion, most benefit from NOT being thrown in at the deep end immediately. In the long term, I think that letting them learn the position before they start usually works out best for both the team and the player. The other point about freshman Liberos is that, even for the best ones, it can be difficult to step into a high level program and excel. Take two of the best from last year's class; Kenzie Knuckles and Georgia Murphy. Both excellent players and yet both struggled at times this season in terms of their first contact. Kenzie, specifically, applies here because she was also an OH prior to coming to Nebraska. I think she'll get it but her passing this year (2.07) definitely wasn't up to the calibre they're used to from that position - Madi Kubik actually passed better at 2.13. Particularly for a roster like USC which is already lacking experience and consistency in their backcourt, I'd far rather see Crouch bring in a high level Libero via the portal and allow Akana and Hastings to compete for the DS spot. If they can do that, I think that USC roster might be the best in the Pac. They are already loaded at the pins with Botkin, Owes, Denny & Weske.

Hawaii has the 2nd most Mormons per capita in the world.
I'm referring to the University of Hawaii, not the entire State of Hawaii. A lot of our athletes from certain schools and part of town are likely mormon.

Brooke was and is one of the most talented Liberos in the nation. I've seen her play through every age group, both beach and indoors. I'm well aware of her ability. But Brooke Nuneviller is the exception, not the rule. And since you mentioned Brooke, she actually had a worse year this year from a passing perspective, partly due to the inconsistency of the freshman beside her (who, again, is a very talented player). So yeah, there's always freshman that CAN come in and play. But from a team perspective and an individual perspective, I think it's usually better to allow Liberos (especially converted ones) to play one year at DS.

Her hitting % would actually be ok probably 220ish as an OH2 with an equally talented setter.

I wonder why McCall is transferring? She's a stud at TCU, so that's very interesting to me. She didn't play in the NIVC tournament, actually many of their players didn't. I think something is going on at TCU that nobody is aware of.

Wasn't aware of the downside for student-athletes that their current school can reduce or stop giving them athletics aid at the end of the term in which the request was made to enter the Transfer Portal. So, any SA who just entered could lose schollie for spring semester (and future years) if still in school until May (or later decides not to transfer). No soup for you! Makes sense, then, to enter in January after spring term has commenced and no looking back.
well, the student athlete is basically saying "I don't want to be here anymore" by putting their name in the portal.

well, the student athlete is basically saying "I don't want to be here anymore" by putting their name in the portal. Asking for permission to contact the old fashioned way was also a fairly clear statement by the SA that "I don't want to be here anymore" but it didn't give the school the right to terminate a scholarship contract. Just didn't know that the portal is more than a streamed lined permission to contact tool. It's a double edged sword that could have potentially financially significant negative consequences if entry in the portal is not timed properly. And potentially really bad consequences if the SA can't for some reason transfer to a "right fit" school and must stay put for another year or more.

This thread was created to post about specific transfers/rumors and somehow has less information and more endless paragraphs of irrelevance than the original thread
