I fully expect a number of decommits over the summer. Why? For three scenarios that are real and we are seeing with other college sports. There is no reason volleyball will be any different. The transfer portal is working in favor and against recruits. 1. Recruit commits to School X, then School X takes a Transfer at the same position, and then Recruit doesn't like the fact the Coach just took a transfer at the same position so Recruit decommits and finds a new school. 2. Recruit shows tremendous development between early in the Club season to end of Club season. Catches the eye of some bigger programs and now wants to pursue playing for a bigger program. 3. Recruit digresses during Club season and College Head Coach encourages recruit to find another program because the Coach doesn't think it is a good fit.

Pulling the offer will probably come back to bite them. Never forget that when Aird started at Indiana, he inherited commitments of C. Buzzerio, Breana Edwards, Raina Terry, and Lexi Johnson committed -- BUT Aird thought he could do better. Buzzerio and Terry didn't even make it to campus, Johnson quit after one year, and Edwards fought it out before finally achieving something after she transferred.

I'm not sure it was her decision. Sounds like more of a staff decision to go in another direction. To quote a previous post "Name the schools...good for other PSA's to know."

I hate arguing about this because "a number of decommits" is so vague. 3 girls could do it and you could go "see??" But I have my doubts we'll see any more than we would see any other year. 1) any transfer that comes in this summer will be most likely gone by the time these 2025s get to campus, especially with no more COVID years, but I guess there's a chance there's a number of juniors and redshirt sophomores taking up spots. You think that's gonna cause a surge of decommits this summer? 2 and 3 have been a thing for as long as recruiting has been a thing and we don't see a ton of decommits imo. NIL has changed a ton but how many girls are getting huge offers they didn't get last summer? And how many coaches are moving on from players who have been committed 8-9 months, a year max?

Speaking of Indiana, any word on how Charlotte is doing? Her family has a GoFundMe, if anyone is feeling like supporting them - having a kid in the ICU is really freaking expensive. LifeFlight alone can cost 5 figures and is often not covered by insurance. gofund.me/7ac29d5e

If the coach pulled while she's still in or just got out of the hospital (since we don't know status,) well then that's a whole new level of low IMO. It's probably someone completely different, we're just left to speculate the Who/Where until real information is given.
