Texas posters? Like who? AFTER today's win? Perhaps I missed the specific posts on your mind. All I recall is that two Texas assistant coaches started following Carlson on IG, and vice versa; not sure who started following who first; perhaps it was Carlson. Most Texas posters here have wondered what the mutual interest could mean; perhaps it's just preliminary. Texas only has one scholarship setter on the roster, and did not sign one in the 2024 recruiting class. If our other (walkon) setter decides to transfer out, we need another setter on the 2024 roster; I'd prefer it be somebody worthy of a scholarship. Do you have any suggestions who that could/should be? Babic has played well at UNC and I didn’t see her commit yet. Anyone know if she did?! Hate we loosing her. IMO she has better hands than Swindle and Carlson. Butter with no ball rotation and fast. Lefty too. But for Texas it seems like you just need to set high and let the hitters hit over the block. So almost anyone with good location will do 😂 AFAIK Babic has not committed yet.

Is ASU in the running for her?

Looks like Pepperdine, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are all making a move on Kjolhede. Maybe things in Miami didn’t go as well as we thought Wait, I thought Vandy’s first year of competition was gonna be 2025. I know they have 2024s, but I thought they were going to redshirt. Am I mistaken? I believe she could have her school paid for next year with the 2024's, and then play in the 2025 season to complete her master's. They may be targeting folks who are either OK with skipping a year of volleyball for academic reasons OR who have two years of eligibility left. Either way, they need to be careful to balance schollies across classes, and the portal is the only way to do that even if you make a few moonshot calls. Duke softball's program started a few years ago and I felt like the HC provided new programs a complete masterclass in how to build a roster from day one with equal schollies in equal classes at a high-level academic institution. Anders the Great should be careful to take note.

The transfer portal has destroyed college sports Nobody is forcing you to watch or follow. If you’re unhappy, turn away.

The transfer portal has destroyed college sports I don't agree. What I will say is I think it takes away from coaches developing players. Everyone is disposable.

Colleges are suppose to be about education first and for a long time now it’s been sports first. I have a friend that’s talked to a few college coaches that said the worst thing about portal is if you have a player going into portal a lot of times this is late and former school can’t make up the scholarship till other one is gone

This is no longer collegiate sports. They are semi pro sports league. When players can just move around at will and players can be paid it is by all intensive purposes a semi pro league. This allows teams that already get the most recruiting talent to poach from other teams when needed

All these players arnt moving around for their education it’s for sports. Like I said colleges are suppose to be about education formost. Just create a semi pro league

People always complain they want more balance and competitiveness but all this is gonna lead to is a more top heavy league. The talent is gonna become more concentrated then spread out more for certain sports ( meaning the ones that matter ( most revenue ) basketball and football) people will start going with whoever pays them the most
