Maybe UNC will have a losing season this year. I do not know. I did look up their record in the most recent season and it was a winning record. It wasn't a great record but it wasn't a losing record. It is also true, as noted above, that some top teams in the ACC have younger coaching staffs than UNC. It is also true, however, that some of the top teams in the country have older coaching staffs and that ACC teams weaker than UNC have younger coaching staffs. I doubt that age is the key factor for UNC's situation and prospects. I would agree that age might not be the only factor. The reason the top programs in the country have older coaches is because they have had major success consistently. I don't have the time research it but I would guess that Cook, Rose, Wise, Skinner, Sheffield have NOT had a 4-5 year run like UNC has had. I don't have to research it because if they did they'd be gone. Again the priorities are different at those schools, which has been discussed in this thread. If an ACC school like UNC takes a nose dive and the coaches get to keep their job then it's tough for the ACC to make a case the it takes Volleyball seriously and will remain 5th in the P5. The ACC has a very diverse set of schools with very different priorities for each. I think the top schools I mentioned are showing their commitment to Vball.

I wouldn’t return if I had to work with Susan Clements, either. Why? This is not a nice thing to say… (Like mama said, if you don’t have anything nice to say ….) If one must be qualified to speak by having something nice to say, Susan Clements would never get a word out.

UNC will play Michigan State weekend of Sept 10th Wonder if this means the Heels will play Michigan on the road or a team like Miami (OH) or a nearby team. In regards to Clements. She can recruit and sell UNC...I give her that. But coach and build relationships, NOT AT All. Never seen a team despise a coach so much.

Looks like UNC gets Pitt to open ACC play at home on 9-24 and will also play Louisville at home. So we do get the top 2 teams in Carmichael this year.
Schedule release still coming, heard maybe a midweek adustment.
So far we know for preseason:
SMU, usually top 2 in the AAC
Pacific: Ehhh WCC team
Stephen F Austin, Usual Perennial NCAA Team
Colorado State: Very Good MW Team, Perennial NCAA
Michigan State: Underperferforming but talented B1G team.

Looks like the 2021 roster was finally updated: goheels.com/sports/womens-volleyball/rosterTeam picture and roster photos of the newbies not yet uploaded, but media day was a few days ago so I'm sure they will be up soon. Also still waiting on official schedule release.

20 players on the roster
8 potential "Pins"
5 Setters (if you count Boone as a potential Setter)
5 DS/L
4 potential Middles
Lots of choices... will be interesting to see how rotations & playing time is distributed.

How is setting such a mess. Wasn't Mitrovich the A1 HP setter at her age group at one point? Maybe coming a year early wasn't such a good idea? Now there are 4 setters in the mix. A team with 4 setters on the roster doesn't scream "lots of choices"... it screams "we aren't real sure"

Does anyone know how many athletes can travel or dress for away games? I would guess OOC they can do whatever they want, but during League Games? Do some of these athletes Red Shirt - how do you manage this siz and scope of roster? Guesses? Predictions?
