Good point. Salima gives instant credibility with pretty much any recruit in the country. It's hard to put a dollar value on that. I think Salima gives instant credibility to those on VT. I do not know if that necessarily holds true for high school girls. Other posters have posted that Salima will get her pick of the top players from Chicago's Catholic High Schools. Do others feel that way? Is Salima Catholic? If HS kids don’t know Salima, their coaches do. And in almost 20+ Years of being around/involved/observing college Volleyball, I don’t know that I’ve ever heard one negative word about Salima from anyone with any credibility. National team player, world champion, national champion as a player, 5 championships as a coach, the list goes on. I’m sure she can offer some pretty instant credibility. |

Do you think Catholicism will be a big part of Salima's recruiting strategy? I'm not sure if Notre Dame, overall, is considered a conservative or more progressive Catholic University. Whereas with Baylor, their mission seems quite clear.

Whereas with Baylor, their mission seems quite clear. Progressive they are not. See Amy Coney Barrett. Slightly more progressive would be the Jesuit schools. Assuming athletes in Catholic prep schools are interested in Catholic higher Ed is a pretty broad brush. Maybe the kids that aren't athletes. |

if the players Salima's recruiting haven't at least heard her voice before, that might be a reflection on them lol
she's commented like every single big match in recent years and generally comes off as pretty knowledgeable and likeable.

Umm, Amy went to the law school, which is kinda different. The undergrad student body is overwhelmingly catholic, but also fairly liberal. The administration leans more conservative, for sure, but I would say ND isn’t super conservative. |

The student insurance will not cover things like replacing a birth control implant unless you already had one when you came in. That says something about how conservative they are.

They may not know her, but she has what may be the best elevator speech ever: "Here's what I know and have done (list championships)." |

Not even in the early 1970's? Whatever. FWIW, even Justice Thomas didn't think much of Yale Law. |

Whereas with Baylor, their mission seems quite clear. The CYO, or Catholic Youth Organization throughout the country is the biggest grassroots volleyball league throughout the country. They are responsible for teaching volleyball to a massive number of kids. Starting at probably kindergarden level. Most the best kids that tryout for club ball usually are CYO trained. The thing is, all the head starts these kid had doesn't translate to the success of the Catholic schools in D1 volleyball. Kids will play where they want to play, religion has nothing to do with. Free college is free college. |
