He asked this about Indiana to. It’s just a way for him to dis the school and recruit while knowing no one will share who else offered. I do know the 1st Alliance setter was very high on many list. Congrats to her and Iowa. Exactly. I asked becuase I wanted them to have to respond to explain themselves! But I know they never will. That's their kinda sad MO. I do not doubt at all she was high on many lists. I had read and heard same. Really great get for Iowa. Congrats all around, indeed! GO HAWKS! as a huge Big Ten fan, I follow the programs. How is asking “who else offered a player” disrespectful? In most high profile sports, it is easily accessible. A few on the board j dictated how highly ranked she was. I do t trust the current ranking systems. I do trust that college coaches won’t offer four years of scholarship without being sold. No co piracy here. Jim Barnes is a fantastic human. I hope she is the next Carlini.

On its own merits, asking "who else offered a player" is not necessarily disrespectful. However, having that question prefaced by "I always wonder who Iowa beat out for a player like this" sure adds disrespect in my book.

Kearney certainly has a passive/aggressive attitude. As a huge Big 10 fan, maybe be more fanly.
My question about recruiting is how do the coaches know how many scholarships they can offer?? Do they move like they have 16 or 18 yet? This normally complicated process went nuclear now.

Roster updated to our final 18 (with no Moravec...still so curious about what happened with her, what's next for her, etc.). I will say that it stands out a bit that we have no player taller than 6' 2". For B1G, that is sure not the norm. And wow, we are young: literally half of roster (9, by my count) has never played a point in a college volleyball match yet. Will be so interesting to see who progresses quickly/emerges out of that young group. Definitely some talent there and makes me optimistic for the future (especially with some solid 2025/2026 recruits coming down the road)...but sure could be some youth-related growing pains this season. GO HAWKS! hawkeyesports.com/sports/wvball/roster/

Hope the Hawks get new uniforms this fall. Know it sounds minor, but they have had the same look for a few years. And anything new, given what they are attempting to do to improve, could benefit...even just looking different and fresh on the court!

The best measure for a recruit, I would say, is a coach who knows what he is looking for. Not someone relying on other coaches decisions. Sure, if several good coaches offered a recruit that is probably a good sign. But no one really knows that outside the recruit and family usually. Unless, god forbid, VB players start posting every offer like football and BB do.

Sure, if several good coaches offered a recruit that is probably a good sign. But no one really knows that outside the recruit and family usually. Unless, god forbid, VB players start posting every offer like football and BB do. I tend to agree. At times, talent can be overlooked due to lack of exposure to recruiters, the player's ability to gain exposure, parental support, and the club's ability to provide that exposure (although her club is a good one), timing and a host of other things. On the other hand, not all students are attracted to just the top ten volleyball ranked universities. The factors that go into a player's choice can extend way beyond a universities win/loss record, or their ability to sway you with perks and unexpected $. Kudos to the coaching staff for selling a great university and a great program, and to her for selecting what is right for her. ... and... Welcome. We look forward to watching you on the Hawkeye roster.

Do they move like they have 16 or 18 yet? This normally complicated process went nuclear now. Maybe I need to take one of those personality tests😳 I’ve been very clear, I’m a big JB fan. He has his work cut out for him. I’m just trying to be real. The best method to measure recruits is to determine who else offered them a scholarship. Everything else is just window dressing. Do you really believe that?
