Isn't this the week the recruits come in? Are you meaning like potential recruits for camp? Or like our actual ‘22 committed recruits for this fall? If you’re talking about potential recruits coming for their visit/camp, there were definitely some here last week, but there could be more coming this week. If you’re talking about the recruits for this fall, they are already all here. Based on social media activity, it looks like there were some potential recruits this week too. I'm not that familiar with the ones that made posts, but I noticed that BYU apparently got an announcer to call the action and hype up some of the players when they made a play in whatever scrimmage they were doing. |

Those of us on the outside not following the thread would be way more surprised if BYU was not good than if they were, as per usual! I expect they will host the first 2 rounds at least again! Epic match versus Drews and Utah in the second round last year!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgV0LtNgcjr I was impressed with Little's shot selection. My favorite was at 32 seconds where it looks like she's about to hit the ball cross court into the teeth of a double block, but she manages to make a creative play where she hits a short shot down the line instead that completely fools the defense. |

Omg….. 17v (what you are calling the 2s team but they told the parents/kids that the teams were equal and both 1s). 1 Ioana Asiata OH 5'11 9'9 2023 Herriman 2 Aubrey Nielsen OH 5'10 9'8 2023 Davis 4 Kaylin Scott S 5'9" 9'3" 2023 Mountain View 6 Ava Nakai OH 5'11" 10' 2024 Spanish Fork 7 Eve Wilson MB 6'3" 10'.5" 2023 Skyline 8 Hannah Hawkins S 5'11 9'7" 2022 Lone Peak High Point University 11 Camryn Lingenbrink MB 6'1 10'1 2021 Graduated 12 Myali Laufiso.

There goes the credibility of the staff ..... Club V did not say that the 2 teams were equal. They were told that both teams were good enough to qualify in Open. |

That is so cool that RJP was in town!!! Great picture of the future cougars too!!That Davis girl is great too!! On the club v instagram there is a clip with Brielle Miller passing to Silina Damuni who sets it to Mia Lee who then just kills the ball- at Nationals I believe. The Harvey sisters were named to the All tournament team and their libero- Kambree and Silina Damuni were named to the National All Tournament Honorable Mention team. I think there were quite a few of them at the BYU camp the first week. Hmm, Suli Davis has a brother who just committed to BYU football. PrepDig recently rated Davis as the best 2025 prospect in Texas. |

Once again marnvb you’ve got the whole Zayna Meyer story wrong. It’s not really mine to tell but Heather Olmstead is not to blame for Meyer not playing that’s all I will say. So maybe stop pretending you know everything and placing blame when you don’t even have all the info hujak - I don't have the "whole" Zayna Meyer story wrong. Maybe you are alluding to reasons that weren't volleyball related that kept Meyer off the floor? Certainly there might be other factors that weren't publicly known? If so, that changes a few lines of thought. But, here is where I am not wrong: Olmstead and staff have to recruit winners who are elite level athletes AND they have to continue to "recruit" those on their current roster by giving them playing time when they can and communicate realistic expectations to them before offering a spot on the roster AND after they are actually on the roster. Sure there are some players who just don't pan out, but if Olmstead sees that the upside of a young player may get them a starting spot before they graduate .... Olmstead needs to give them playing time here and there. The other side of the coin is that there are players who arrive at campus and it is evident after just a part of the season that these girls simply aren't good enough and won't be good enough to impact the program. They need to be willing to get rid of deadwood. Even if there are unknown issues that kept Meyer from playing it brings up some issues that are concerning. Meyer played in the preseason scrimmage. We never saw her after that. She looked as good or better than any freshman we have seen at the setter position. She was gifted in height, agility, skills and high level competition ability. One has to assume that the coaching staff had to have conversations with Meyer pre-signing about Bower and expected playing time available to Meyer. Did they? If Meyer could beat out Bower that first year, which she might have thought she could do, then everything was according to plan at BYU vb as true competition was going to be allowed. But, and this is a big "but", if Meyer couldn't beat out Bower that first year, it would be very difficult to do so over the following 2 years. Did BYU take that big of a gamble? They did! They had to reasonably expect Meyer to leave the program rather than sit behind Bower for 3 years. BYU had Hifo, and I submit that going after a top 2022 setter would have been more healthy and more realistic for the program. But they didn't do that and Meyer was the choice that had very little chance to have them see pan out. Olmstead had 2 setters on the roster along with Bower who were deemed not good enough to lead BYU. 2 mistakes in recruiting .... but they were kept on the roster and took up space. This is even more concerning. They took up 2 roster spots. Olmstead had 3 DS's on that roster who also didn't have the upside to be good D-1 players. There are many questions about the thought processes that seem to have answers that don't align with a proper recruiting plan. |

Have you seen the Johnson girl play? I am not giving you info that Johnson is an all conference player (we don't even know what conference Utah will be in) but I am saying that she is has higher upside than most of the BYU backrow recruits over the last 4 years. Miller does also. I don't see a problem with either one of the girls, but if you remember, I said that if I could dictate a girl or 2 at L/DS for BYU I would have recruited the Allan girl and I would also recruit the L off the V 16 team who is a far better athlete than Miller or Johnson. Johnson has better lateral movement than Miller. Miller has a better serve than Johnson and they can both dig good balls. If you have to move quickly side to side Miller will struggle. Miller benefited from a much better blocking front row on her V team because of their athletic ability rather than good technique. Johnson was left on her island to sink or swim with girls who simply weren't taught to block correctly or held accountable for not doing their job. #12 has a big time serve and could be a diamond in the rough. I would say she is also better than the average BYU back row player. Why not move the oldest Bower off the roster and move a new girl onto it? You already know that the elite 8 programs would do with that issue but, Heather won't because it is a Bower. If it was a Wee or a C Whitney they would be gone. I have never seen her play and know absolutely nothing about her, other than you think she is good. I am willing to bet based on my lack of faith in your skill as a talent evaluator. I care not what conference Utah may play in, or even if she stays at Utah or transfers, even to a D3 school. My wager proposal was unconditonal; I say she will never be all-conference no matter where she plays. If she makes any all-conference team anywhere, you win. Agreed? We started this conversation with who BYU could recruit to attempt to stem the tide of poor backrow passing. My first choice was for them to have put in time on the Allen girl. I will bet you that she will be all conference ..... want to take that bet? Then the shift went to who was left in the 2023 class or 2024 class that was close in proximity to BYU. I volunteered the club V L's because of their easy recruiting geography to BYU. My first choice at the V program is the 16 -1 V Libero who played at nationals. She is green as can get but has all the intangibles of a good D-1 L. My third and 4th choices were the 2 L's off the 17 -2 team. They are both pretty good and I think either of them would give Miller a run for her money at BYU. I was never saying that either of those 2 DS/L's would be all conference but I do think they are better than the average BYU passer/recruit over the last 5 years. After I brought them up both of them have signed with D-1 programs. Utah must see something that I see in Johnson girl. So, I will take some solace in that. I am not going bet you about anything with these 2 players. I will bet you about my top choice. You want to take that bet? Since you haven't watched the Johnson girl play and you want to bet .... sight unseen, I have to question your smarts. But I will fall back on the fact that both girls signed after I brought them up so they must not be that bad ..... and I haven't seen you bring up any player who can pass .... before they were signed by a Pac12 team or any other D-1 team. Why don't you give some names? You are big on that aren't you? |

Or if you’ve already done that, predict our record! It’s gonna be a very competitive schedule especially after losing key players.

How many regulars in this thread applied for the BYU job and are still angry that BYU hired someone else instead?

Okay I want to clarify right now because speculation makes people look bad. It’s nothing to do with off-court behavior by meyer. The bottom line is that they way everything panned out was more in meyers hands than the coaches. End of story. Completely agree. That being said, following what happened with her brother--again off the court, but pretty much public--kind of told you where this relationship was headed. |

BYU thread isn’t as koom-by-yaw as it used to be. marnvbc2, paragraphs would be helpful when you post. |
