looks like Louisville unfollowed Kelley  Am I the only one that thinks all the social media follows/unfollows is rather ridiculous. I mean, what are we supposed to deduce from this? Players from Louisville were like, 'hey we need to befriend and follow this random highly sought after player because we really like her', but if she isn't interested in joining the program, it's like, 'oops, ok, I didn't actually want to know who she was, I just wanted to stack my volleyball team'. *shrug* I was so baffled by all that when my daughter was being recruited. Some of the programs showed so much love and support when she contacted them to let them know she committed to a different program. Others immediately unfollowed her. It seemed a bit 6th grade-ish. I personally am excited to follow Kelley's career, no matter what. She's a baller. |

I would think USC and Hawaii too. For the opportunity to train in the sand. She likely won’t get the oppurtunity to train sand at usc. Usc isn’t too keen on letting players play both. May have changed with brad but as far as I know, it’s still a pretty enforced “rule” Weske posted something about training some with the beach team this past semester. Certainly, I don’t think she was on the roster or was a candidate to play. She was done with indoor at SC tho, so maybe that impacted it. |

She's a baller. very few colleges and coaches follow girls who play for other teams... why would they continue following someone who's potentially halfway across the country playing in a diff conference? al they do is post on these accounts its not like their scrolling through their feed and seeing what everyones up to through the university vb account cmon now |

Check every teams account and see how many of them follow girls who never played at that school but are playing NCAA vb elsewhere lol you won't find many if any at all, its very common and makes sense to me... for example... Texas and Nebraska were going after choboy and she chose Nebraska so there would be 0 reason for the Texas volleyball acc to follow or continue following choboy... like why would they she plays for a different team. its why you don't see these accounts following very many people in total. some coaches continue to follow players they didn't get on their personal accounts but there's no reason for the verified university account to follow them when they don't even go to school there |

What's the difference. |

I personally think it's more strange for a university sanctioned account to be following players who play for different schools than to not follow or unfollow them. It's not about being immature or salty, it just simply wouldn't make sense for say Wisconsin volleyball to follow someone like Madi skinner even if they did at a point in her recruitment... literally why on earth would they continue to follow her lol social media is an ananomly and you really don't get it unless you get it idk how to explain it. its not weird that these programs unfollow missed recruits, its normal and gives us fans some appreciated hints |

I don't really care about what the "official" team volleyball socials do re their follows and unfollows, though I suppose it makes the most sense to NOT follow a player until said player is with the team that way there isn't some weird unfollow or whatever. Surely these teams have better ways of communicating interest in players than following each other on instagram.
What I find interesting are the players on the teams themselves and who and why they choose to follow/unfollow other teams/players. That's their personal accounts, it's not affiliated with the school. A lot of it just seems pretty disingenuous.
