USC and UK have all of the middles in the country with bell gone UK has 4 now which is pretty normal, and most schools probably wouldn't have tealer in the middle anyways

Why not? Personally, I'm in the camp that is highly critical of this current era of college volleyball (college sports, generally) - directly paying athletes to either subvert scholarship limits and/or just throwing money at them as a recruiting tool to stack rosters, the proliferation of super seniors courtesy of the covid rules, and the merry go round transfer portal. The sport NEEDS talented, experienced players like Jess Robinson to play for programs like Duke. I think it's a good thing that there are great players out there that don't just value dollar signs or transfer for a year or two to whatever program they think will be in next years final four. She has the confidence to make a team better and she's getting a really good education in a desirable geographic area. No guarantees of playing time or a final four so go where you can play and get an education while keeping your happiness in check! I dont believe for a minute that Texas, Nebraska and Wisconsin and PSU recruited players enjoy having the 5th year transfers on the roster.

Well, I agree with you, but I also don't feel sorry for the players that sign with those programs you mentioned. Besides perhaps Penn State (I think that's a bit different situation), it's no secret that if you chase fame and fortune at schools like Texas, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, you run the very real risk of being recruited over every year. If we here on volleytalk all know it, the players and their families know it, and they choose it any way - they get no sympathy from me.

It’s a good thing every SA is different and has different priorities. There’s *plenty of pie to go around.

Is it just me or are a bunch of teams desperate for MBs? Pitt’s the obvious one but there’s a handful of top teams with very little depth at middle… USC has 7!!! Lol. ?
