One can fulfill a lot of dreams in Charleston. It's beautiful and CoC is beautiful.

WHO is the highly touted Puerto Rican setter who spent I believe 2 years here and then transferred to a school in the Mid West and I noted that she received high honors for herself and the team?

pete 1919:
I do not think players who are on the team are invited back. They are considered full time until THEY DECIDE THAT PSU is not for them. Players seek to leave after determining that PSU is not for them and then receive "good lucks" from Russ et al and help if needed. If they do not want to be here then there will be no objections from the BOSS

Some random, off-topic info: Stanford hired Alisha Glass as their new assistant coach.

Bob addresses one situation explicitly: 1) that college "is not a charity to reward those who fail to even try" -- hard to argue with that. But there's a second situation: that some players may be better off elsewhere, not because they "fail to even try," but rather because they turn out not to be as talented or proficient as was hoped when they were recruited (sometimes due to injury) -- even though they may well be trying very hard indeed. In both cases, they may well have a better chance of playing elsewhere. But Bob's first point is totally irrelevant when the problem is not that the player isn't trying, but that they aren't as good as was hoped, or because of injury are no longer the player they once were. As long as players are trying, I think they deserve their scholarships. Darcy Dorton is a great example of a player who was significantly slowed by injury, and who chose to transfer to College of Charleston in order to keep on playing. She continued to root for Penn State and I'm obviously still a big fan of hers. Better worded by you. My point was that when a player fails to reach or return to a level of performance Russ should work to help the player find her best situation where she can still find a good education along with the enjoyment of playing volleyball. I do not believe a player could be happy as a chronic bench filler while younger players get the playing time on the court year after year. I know that Russ would go out of his way to help those players to find situations where they could fulfill all their dreams. BTW Darcy thanks Russ for his assistance. But aren't there more bench fillers than players getting regular playing time on almost all teams?

BOB2061 YOUR SUGGESTING THAT RUSS DOES NOT HELP A PLAYER FIND AN ALTERNATIVE COLLEGE?
I DOUBT THAT.
RUSS IS not GOING TO TAKE THE INTIATIVE TO PROMOTE LEAVING BUT IF A PLAYER SAYS "I WANT TO LEAVE" i BELIEVE THAT HE WILL DO ANYTHING HE CAN TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR SEARCH.
IT IS JUST WHO RUSS ROSE IS.

Stanford is the front runner. Is that something you have personal knowledge about or is it what you read on another message board? I don't put much stock in speculation on message boards. It almost never is a player's family or club coach who posts something like this.
I also welcome you to dignittany.com.
Look, you don’t know me from Adam but I don’t speculate. Miner was a Penn St lock until Salima Rockwell retired. At the moment Stanford leads but things can always change when dealing with young people. 😀

I don't think Tillie realizes that all caps in a sentence means you're shouting.
