Cal Poly is actually a good school in a nice area. San Luis Obispo has that cool small-town feel too it and the campus is beautiful. Yes it is but many of top level players want to be in big time programs or want to live in big cities where there are other stuff to do. Sure, CP is within driving distance to both LA and SF but that is still quite a haul. There is also no D1 football there and no pro team. There are a lot of talented players across the country to recruit but CP is up against Hawaii, LBSU and UCSB for prospects and those 3 schools have more to sell to enhance players to go there. Have you even attended any classes at CAL POLY or lived in SLO?

I'm not disputing any of that. All I was saying is that the school is very good, nice campus, and the city of San Luis Obispo is really nice.

Players projected to elevate their play for CAL POLY this season just not ready. Blocking has become CAL POLY's biggest nemesis!!! Agreed 100%. I said this a few weeks ago. I'm glad someone sees the same thing I see. Why do we have so many single blocks on the outsides (both sides) on these high outside sets? and when we do get a double block out there, they get hit off on like a couple of golf tees. At least we get to play a bad team tomorrow and we will get a win.

What's the story coach???

What's the story coach??? Walter: Jake, that is a good question. Height does not equal blocks. Other teams can neutralize our size with speed and smarts. If size equals blocks, I would recruit all 6-5 kids, put them in the front and nobody will be able to get the ball past us. We would win 25-0 25-0 and 25-0. This would be great for us but not for our opponents. It’s also bad for volleyball. We don’t want to ruin this great game so i decided not to go that route.

There is truth in that comment. Or,...is it where their hands are placed to form the block? And when two ladies set up a block. Many time the hands are over the net,...particularly when a taller player blocking down on a smaller one. Blocking in volleyball is an art,...many players just haven't learned. Hey,...coach???

CAL POLY has eight more matches,...five at home. Will CAL POLY turn around the second half??? Again it looks like coach Walters is playing the odds,... that the third time will be a CHARM!

CAL POLY taking on Fullerton tonight,...this should be a 3 set sweep!
Coach Walters may be playing several freshmen.

freshmen or true freshmen? AS it turns out,...both. Going up against UCI on Saturday after they just beat, apparently a short handed, UCSB team won't be easy. CAL POLY better prepare for a hot team with a lot of momentum playing at home. Thanks to those gauchos!

Just 800 fans in attendance when CAL POLY squared off against UCSB at home.
Coach Walters should take note it was not a packed house!!!
