You sure wouldn't think so. Parra saw a decent amount of playing time in 2020 and 2021 and looks to be taking her Covid year (listed as a sophomore on the roster), but Eggleston is gone and Texas has made a habit out of finding their new starters on other teams (Caffey, Fleck, Skinner)... habit is a strong word for a single season lol but also can’t blame Luper if she leaves UCLA for anywhere literally any team would be better with her on it. I could see her fitting in at Pitt. |

Does Texas really need more pin hitters? You sure wouldn't think so. Parra saw a decent amount of playing time in 2020 and 2021 and looks to be taking her Covid year (listed as a sophomore on the roster), but Eggleston is gone and Texas has made a habit out of finding their new starters on other teams (Caffey, Fleck, Skinner)... Hunt recently followed Landfair as well. |

Would prefer Luper keeps her talent in Westwood vs taking her talents to Austin . . .
If she leaves, UCLA is down to one returning starter - Ndiaye.
Tis the season for shopping and looks like Pendergast could be very busy . . .

I've been asking since 2018 if anybody knows the length of his contract, and... nobody does. No college is in a position right now to eat the remainder of an Olympic sport coach's contract. Assuming UCLA gets B1G TV money starting in 2024, that would make such a surplus in budget that UCLA has never even dreamt of... they could eat years then. Speculating... in 2012 Sealy might have gotten a 5 year extension. Then after 2016 year, when Sponcil set them to Elite 8, he prolly got another 5 year extension, taking him through Fall, 2021. Then b/c of Covid disruptions, he probably got extended thru a sixth year, through December, 2022. Which would mean he could be let go in December of this year. A Christmas present to all UCLA volleyball fans. |

A Christmas present to all UCLA volleyball fans. I would argue that there are quite a few schools that could and would eat the remainder of a VB coach's contract if needed (see A&M and a handful of Big 10 teams that I know have the funds and admin investment to but just don't need to due to program success). In any case, some Big 10 and SEC bubble teams fell apart last night, so a win versus USC (potentially without a starting setter) could get UCLA in. Does the admin think that's enough to save him? |

Does the admin think that's enough to save him? It isn't about one year. It is about every year that Sealy has had his own recruits, which is 2013-2022. One (1) Elite 8 in 10 years. Twice missing the Tournament, possibly a third, but that is only a side issue. If the UCLA admin thinks that is an acceptable performance given UCLA's recruiting pull, given UCLA's performance in the 10 years prior to Sealy taking over, and the 20 years prior to that, then they're on drugs. If the UCLA admin wants to see a volleyball program reside perennially in the bottom half of the B1G, then they don't need to make a change. UCLA women's Volleyball and UCLA Softball were peers for 25 years. Softball has continued to add national championships, the last 2019, and finish in the Women's College World Series (Elite 8) in 6 of the past 6 years (2021 being canceled), while volleyball has gone backward in the past 10 years. Both programs pay peanuts compared to what other top Softball and Volleyball coaches make (under $200k all in for UCLA both sports, vs. over $400k for most Top 10 Softball programs, and over $300k for most Top 10 Volleyball programs), so there is no reason UCLA could not pay under $200k and get a coach who can take the program to the Elite 8 more than once in 10 years. |

Sponcil only set UCLA to sweet 16, it was the 6-2 with Chandler and Kylie Miller that set them to the elite 8 against Minnesota.
Speaking of starting transfer setters, I hope Tuofono doesn’t join his list of top setters he recruited and further destroyed (Moenoa, Strehlow, Miller, Chang). This man’s setter carousel is a legit crime

I don't know enough their admin support and inner workings so I appreciate the insight! |

It would be if you make a public records request. The details of, say, Chip Kelly's contract are known because of that. |
