Why waste a year of her eligibility when she has no outsides. Why not redshirt her and let wieskircher finish season next year then hopefully get some highly rated outsides following year. That’s why I would red shirt Hampton also. She’s one of top liberos in country and u just want to bring her in as ds. Very unlikely White gets demoted. Not sure about that... K White just kinda came in and took over the position by her play in practice/preseason last year (Wasn't it supposed to be Lainy Pearce or K Holcomb?)... Who's to say the same won't happen next year with another outstanding freshman libero? Just a thought. I don’t know those other two weren’t really rated comming in. White was |

I think White was one of the first who didn't have to prove herself on the team first. Ls and DSs have become scholarship players in the past, but I don't think many in the last decade walked in with a scholarship.

Sorry to rain on your parade but Gabby will definitely play next year, she is that good. Things are going to be very crowded at setter and MH. Why waste a year of her eligibility when she has no outsides. Why not redshirt her and let wieskircher finish season next year then hopefully get some highly rated outsides following year. That’s why I would red shirt Hampton also. She’s one of top liberos in country and u just want to bring her in as ds. Very unlikely White gets demoted. We missed out on some tremendous talent the past two years because they didn't want to ride the bench. There is a cost to being totally committed to our upperclassmen. |

If the cost is a #1 ranking in the RPI,Rich Kern, AVCA polls, a 23-1 record, hosting a regional and a legit shot at an 8th National Championship (2nd for this senior class) its more than worth the "cost" as you say. |

I think the reason we missed out on some recruits was because we were missing Salima when she went to Texas for 2 years. |

I think the reason we missed out on some recruits was because we were missing Salima when she went to Texas for 2 years. I think staff turnover had alot to do with it -- not necessarily just Salima. But the bottom line is, the two "down" years were still Sweet Sixteen. Not too shabby. In any event, by all accounts the 2018 class is great, and this season we are ranked #1. No guarantee we win the National Championship, but we are definitely relevant. I'm not directing this at anyone or any particular post, but this program has had only two down years after an extraordinary eight years, and is having a great season this year. What's not to like about this situation? |

Hey guys! The reason we missed out on top recruits the last few years was a lack of scholarship money. That class of 2014 had to be expensive. Clearly the money is back for the 2018 group. I'm sure that Salima does a great job, but I clearly recall Coach Rose complimenting Kaleena's recruiting at the time that the 2014 class was arriving.

Teams are limited to 12 full-time scholarships. If it was "only" money, I'm sure there are teams that might have 20 athletes on scholarship. Its my understanding that a thing that helped from 2007 through 2010 was that Blair Brown did not take a scholarship, effectively giving PSU 13 during those memorable years. Maybe we should recruit wealthy volleyballers? |

OTOH if Coach had landed Thayer Hall for 2018 class we would have started another dynasty. Instead she is going to Florida. |

Bob: I can't speak to your intent, but your statement about Thayer Hall implies that Coach Rose failed to do something that might have landed her. What might that have been? Do you know Ms. Hall? Or her parents? Seems to me that there are a lot of moving parts to recruiting, not the least of which is that players are sentient beings. Thayer Hall may hate PSU and there might have been nothing Coach Rose could have done to bring her to PSU. Consider Wisconsin's former setter. She wanted to go to Wisconsin, no matter who the coach. I guess Coach Rose " failed" to land her too? If you have enough insider knowledge to know how and why Coach Rose actually failed to land a player, you should have enough respect for your sources not to share that information. And if you don't..... |

Actually I recall some one saying that Thayer Hall had rounded her 2 choices to Florida and Penn State. In the end, she stayed in her home state of Florida. I can't say I blame her. Didn't we lose the 2018 #1 football recruit to Georgia because he decided to remain in his home state? It happens.
