Kniffin found that French OH randomly saw him playing beach volleyball in CA I believe was the story- very unorthodox, lots of whiffs on OH recently, 2 OH moved to Libero, etc this is a L issue not a OH issue. The recruiting problem is getting a setter and (lessor so) a Libero. If UCI had a setter than was 2 years into the position of the same level as the otehr BW teams they would be a hard team to beat. The current setter is doing well considering he is a freshman but he is not a blue chip setter like other teams similar to UCI in recruiting capability. I’m a casual UCI follower- so I could be wrong. But when Joel was injured in 2019, wasn’t he playing the left handed Oppo as a Pin on the left side? They went on a 5 game losing streak over that time. Sounds like an OH depth issue to me. And I don’t think I’m alone in observing Tangatur not showing enough as an OH to see the court into his Sophomore year. And JB Kam also not impactful so they moved him to L last year.

If he is not getting time next year that is a sign.

OH is the position that UCI has with the most depth this year. Dahm, Gillis, Sani, and Tangatur provide plenty depth. Schneidmiller is really good.

Dang I was wondering when he was going to commit. Do you guys think he could've played d1 somewhere? Despite being undersized he's got really good hands to make up for that Robin could have easily gone D1 as he has one of the best hands in the class of 2021. He has a touch that you don’t see in most players and I have to admit, he is one of the nicest setters to watch as of recent. He is 6’2 given that (maybe 6’1) but you see another B2B setter in Dylan Zhai for UCI getting freshman of the week so who knows. Joe Worsley was also a small setter who dominated. Robin doesn’t have that same athleticism but he does possess great potential. Robin is definetly looking for academics in his schools when thinking about volleyball, wonder if he got an offer from Harvard or Princeton. Regardless Robin could EASILY go D1 if he chose to do so http://instagr.am/p/CNxY1Cxse5b

Has UC Irvine signed anyone? Middlehitter does not have anyone listed as signing with UCI. 6'8" MVVC MB James Sears is listed as a UCI commit on the 2021 AVCA Boys High School All-America Watch List, though talk of UCI recruits do seem to be quiet this year. He will struggle heavily in D1

last week Randy Adorno (setter for 352) committed to play d2 at D'Youville College That is a nice pick up. D'Youville has 10 new recruits including a couple Niagara Frontier guys, LVC, Milwaukee Sting, Pure Aloha VBC and a player from Thailand and a really nice MH pickup from Poland. I expect D'youville and Daemen to be a nice destination for teams looking for some competition and hopefully with the option to travel across the Peace Bridge to re open some USA/Canada play
