This is like when the Mizzou assistant's wife went on Facebook last Spring and was like: "No, you see all the players who left were grad transfers. Nothing to see here" Mizzou had the pieces to be so good, if that group didn’t leave |

Both can be true but the backstory/situation makes the first much more interesting |

I'd lean more towards probably than definitely. |

Is Auburn a good school academically? When Steve Spurrier was the football coach at Florida, he commented on a fire at Auburn's library that had destroyed 20 books. "But the real tragedy was that 15 hadn't been colored yet." To be fair, Auburn is one of the top 5 schools that starts with the letter "A" in the State of Alabama. =O |

Last year I think 5 of their 12 or so were seniors or graduate students so this makes sense to me? 4 of the 5 had eligibility left. It's one thing when some players don't use their COVID year, it's another thing when ALL of them don't. You have to understand that a lot more goes into that decision. It’s a massive commitment to play D1 at a power 5 conference and maybe those athletes decided that they were happy with the 4 years they put in and want to move on to the next part of their life. Maybe their dream internship is waiting or maybe they’ve burnt out from volleyball. When the possibility of a national title isn’t involved it’s not nearly as enticing to return. unfair to speculate anything going on at a program because players chose to play the regular 4 years and not take their extra year. Auburn is a college town and maybe they just don’t wanna be there anymore, the only thing to do in auburn is go to auburn lol |

While a lot of your maybe’s are certainly true possible scenarios , given the rumblings heard from SC formers as well, one probably has to think something is up… |

wtf is this all about? A team has 1 player in the portal and their seniors aren't playing their 5th year?
Pretty normal in my book.
Even "IF" the relatively new coach didn't invite kids back for year 5, pretty tame stuff.
Oh, wait, I forgot.
It's the off-season on VT

It's the off-season on VT The team decided they'd just rather not play for a whole freaking season, and now they are down to 6 player son the roster because 5 players with eligibility chose not to come back. Keep making excuses for coaches, Volleytalk! |

Keep making excuses for coaches, Volleytalk! Keep repeating yourself and maybe scream at your computer screen. It's been explained why they are down to 6 and that they have 6 recruits coming in that have not yet been updated to the webpage. If all 12 total were listed on the roster now, would you feel better? |

No, not at all. And it's abundantly clear why. The "explanation" is of course a rationalization for red flags so huge they should center a Soviet May Day Parade. |

Keep making excuses for coaches, Volleytalk! I've never known the story behind the team opting out of that season. Was it really the decision of the players? I assumed it was made for them, not by them. |
