Apparently, you haven't been paying much attention to how this portals been working the past few years??? Everyone's replaceable........ Oh I have and I have seen it all. It’s just that with Swindle’s situation, it just feels so wrong. I am not saying that cannot or won’t do that. It's a new game. 😞

Yes! They have a good academic reputation and for most of these players, that’s what really matters. The majority of collegiate VB players don’t have an expectation of going pro or playing for the USNT so graduating with a degree from a well respected university is the goal. The hope would be that you could play some good, competitive volleyball with good people, enjoy being part of a high achieving family and learn things that make you a better professional and contributing member of society. Mayne you could play and even win elsewhere but what are the academic goals? The Covid year gave a LOT of kids, graduate degrees while still on VB scholarship, maybe the only good thing to come out of the pandemic, because very few players get to play professionally or for the national team, or both. So academics is a real consideration for most of them, as it should be. Yep, except that was all at the expense of 2021, 2022, and some 2023 kids, which is completely wrong. The extended eligibility took paid degrees from those generations while giving some paid undergraduate and grad degrees…. Utterly unfair and stupid….”something good”….Give me a break

It’s a bit ridiculous to me that there are still some posters here think that Texas should still try to bring in Carlson after Swindle their freshman setter phenom just set their team to the championship. If JE indeed does that, I would never want to be recruited/commit as a high schooler to Texas. That would indicate such disrespect to your chip setter that I would advise all kids not to commit there. I doubt that Carlson wants to compete with chip setter though

Rutherford should be their top target, shoot I'd even look at replacing Wenaas with Landfair. Girl had a good championship match but she was not solid all year.

It’s just that with Swindle’s situation, it just feels so wrong. I am not saying that cannot or won’t do that. Ella has been playing injured for the last 2 months - hence the lack of jump-setting. We were one rolled ankle away from having to play with a R-FR walk-on setter. I think that has opened JE's eyes to the need for a scholarship-caliber backup setter, and if you're going to bring one in, you'd be a fool not to get the best one you can. Doesn't mean that Ella wouldn't beat Carlson out for the starting position (IMO she would) - she's a great blocker and JE definitely values that.
