Dain is overcome with emotion here. This is probably the most I've seen him emote in forever.

🙄 I need a bigger rolling eyes emoji. So glad the Trojans proved how special they are by beating the Bruins three times in a row earlier in the season. To be fair (and I’m a severe Steino critic), Stein’s quote was in the context of how much the Bruin’s have improved throughout the season. That they have. Oh, and thanks volley2021 for being so good about posting all the USCBeach info throughout the season. Always as it breaks and really a great consistent job. 👍✌️ |

When is it ok to talk about who comes back??
Does Tina?
Any time left for Slatter or Haley Halgren? They are both regular SRs.
Do you keep Maple/Kraft separated?

That is what I was wondering. If they both did, I'm not sure other schools (maybe UCLA) would be bringing back enough firepower. I expect next year not to be as deep as this year. |

That is what I was wondering. If they both did, I'm not sure other schools (maybe UCLA) would be bringing back enough firepower. I expect next year not to be as deep as this year. USC had a senior day celebration this season where they explicitly said five players would not be returning. Haley Hallgren, Joy Dennis, Maja Kaiser, Paige Dreeuws, and Josannah Vazquez. Some of these women could still have eligibility so it’s possible they may be grad transfers. We commented at the time that Tina Graudina, Sammy Slater, Hailey Harward, Julia Scoles, and Bo Chulo were not included in the ceremony. There had been indications in 2020 that Tina would only come back for the 2021 season, so we aren’t sure if maybe there’s been a change there or not. Ultimately, we’ll just have to see how it plays out. Same with the transfer rumors of Villapando and Schafer to SC. On a similar note, UCLA had a Senior Day Celebration with Simo, Muret, Quade, Sanchez, and Phair, even though some/most of those women still have eligibility. The programs also have to manage each year the limited number of scholarships, both full and partial. |
