@boof1224 Read the room first…. You are in the “Transfer Portal Tea” section…. We want to talk about the portal 🙄 Now that you know that, how about you stop and think?! These kids are doing a lot to just get an education so give them some credit because most of them are amazing athletes and even more amazing persons to endure all that. Somehow your whole argument is on keeping the kids accountable. Stop and think who these kids got their standards and behavioral norms from?! From adults obviously. The same adults that sweet talk them during recruiting while they are 15, 16, 17 and then flip on them when they show up at school. Happens all the time. Ask anyone from UNC about Susan. So now those kids must be held to a higher standard than the adults that crossed them?! When coaches start holding high standards and respecting their own words then maybe your argument has some sounding to it. Until then, which will be never, let the kids find their happiness. The simplest questions for you: who broke the contract when coaching change occurs?! School obviously. Should the kids have the right to move then?! amazing persons ? & amazing athletes? so most college students are amazing? I would describe most college students and athletes as 'interesting'. nothing wrong with interesting. I get enthusiasm. yes, some are amazing. most? nah when I look at many in the portal, by and large, amazing would not be the right adjective though nothing wrong with being a 'normal' & 'interesting' person though. yes, they are held to a higher standard now, because well those that now get paid should be held to a higher 'professional' standard, they are pros.

Aren’t Wrobel and Landfair from the same hometown in Illinois? Interesting to see if either transfer closer to home at NW or Illinois. Wrobel hasn’t played as much as Landfair obviously but iirc she was a top 20 recruit in her own right. Per Lincoln Arneal, she was the #11 overall player in her class.

. I get coaches lie but not all of this is on coach. Some of this is on athletes Also. They both need to be held accountable for their decisions That’s better…. And until the coaches are held accountable don’t bash the kids either I’m bashing both equally. They are both responsible. But two wrongs don’t make a right. You can’t saw it’s ok to break your word because someone else did.

Former student athletes don’t talk like this….

No more I promise…. I said all I had on that accountability topic. And student athletes are better than non athletes, in sports obviously😂

Whitney Lowenstein, Ella Wrobel, led Zayna setting would make a nice complete void of BigWest titles at the Beach

She redshirted this year so she will have 3 years of eligibility wherever she goes. back problems? She should go to Illinois with Terry, who also has back problems from CARRYING HER TEAM FOR THREE SEASONS!

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. What Duke softball was able to do in such a short time has been absolutely insane. Honestly same with Clemson.
