Will Coach go with a 6-2 or 5-1 today? Can she just go away? None of my beeswax, for what it's worth. Do you think a team plans to lose? Look at my team, we went to LBSU, and from memory had at least 10 service errors in the first two sets. We also had an uncommon amount of hitting errors that were honestly self-inflicting wounds that cost us the match. You cannot hit the panic button, and you cannot give up, all you can do is error correct and have a quick memory.

so TOmmi Stockham has stepped it up from last season? i'm a bit confused as to what you think is preventing this team from excelling. i'm not bagging on a single player, Poly needs to and should have Stockham in rotations what exactly is the #1? POLY is still a young team,...no seniors or grad players. Coach Walters needs to play a tighter rotation with no true freshmen in the line-up. This I think will allow CAL POLY more success,...playing as a team. Amy Hiatt, as I mentioned, is a pin player that has been down lately,...putting more pressure on the other front line players to do the scoring and not being so one dimensional. I don't understand what is meant by 'tighter rotation' the sets from Bullis rotate too much? seriously, no frosh no massingale, no frederick, no scott, ? would love to see what players you expect to play, only 6 upperclassman all playing all the way around?

so what is she doing wrong? Well I would actually ask what is she doing right? This squad is barely above .500 . Bad recruiting. Not even improving the players throughout the season. The biggest weaknesses have been slow blockers, and bad passing. I haven't seen any improvement in those areas.

The biggest weaknesses have been slow blockers, and bad passing. I haven't seen any improvement in those areas. I"d agree bad passing is the main issue. Is that recruiting and/or training? The libero is solid IMO, the rest really struggle. and I'd agree the last two classes are not at the prior years level. Bullis and Callahan are ok, I just don't know outside of NorCal how effective she can recruit now. She didn't bring in any impact transfers, and if she can't next year, then yeah maybe that has to be considered. still overall she's had the 2nd best program in the Big West up to last year. I still think you have to see thru next year. It's not a bottom Big West program, and I disagree that they do not improve. Just compared to other Poly coaches, Walters is top notch, they have other sports/coaches with downright wretched results. The AD is the problem and has been at Poly, which needs to be fixed first. I don't know how he's held onto that job with the overall performance especically football and basketball that have all stunk for 5+ years.

CAL POLY take down the aggies in four!
Coach Walters used a nice tight rotation and one true freshman.
Hiatt played in only two sets,...which is not helping this team's overall performance.
Markovska and Stockham combined for 29 kills. The RS Freshman Tess Masingale played well,...showing good progress.

I have never been to the Central Coast and live in Wisconsin, but I was just wondering about how recruiting is for Cal Poly. Clearly, they have been able to find the talent to be good recently, but it seems like recruiting could vary immensely from year to year for them. My perception is this: great school, but not near major metros, dream school/volleyball situation for the right recruits, but how many of those are there year to year? If there are five one year, great class, if one the next, harder. I could be completely wrong in this, but what are the thoughts of Cal Poly fans?

For someone living in Wisconsin are you thinking about going West? ....perhaps as a student-athlete? (My only trip to Wisconsin was a paid vacation staying at the Playboy Resort in Lake Geneva, 1980)
