I don't know if this quite qualifies as a concern, but I was looking at a few threads on that other forum, and I saw that one of Nebraska's incoming recruits is the daughter of former PSU football player Joe Jurevicius. Now I recall that his last season with us saw him benched for the bowl game -- www.collegian.psu.edu/archives/jurevicius-benched-for-missing-classes/article_8a0b788a-af15-5f61-a602-b0f1f3ddd474.html -- so do folks know if he's one of those letterman not entirely enamored with Dear Old State? I guess I'm just kind of surprised that daughter of PSU basketball star Carter Booth is now on to her second non-PSU B1G team, and now daughter of PSU football star Jurevicius is going to yet another B1G team that we once beat regularly but these days are looking up at in the standings. I get it that these players are their own people and don't have to choose their dad's alma mater, but I guess I am just surprised that at a school that has so many legacies that have gone through athletics that here are two prominent ones in a prominent PSU sport that got away. Just a random pondering on my lunch break... |

Just a random pondering on my lunch break... I too find both those story lines to be interesting, but I don't think either should raise any concerns. I don't know whether Jurevicius bears any animosity towards Penn State, but I doubt that even if he does, it was a deciding factor in his daughter's choice (I'm saying that mostly because it would be a bit unseemly, in my view, for a parent to limit his daugher's college choices based on events from more than two decades ago totally unrelated to the current Penn State Women's Volleyball program). As to Carter Booth, I'd note that her brother is coming to Penn State next season. So I think Carter's choice is unrelated to anything having to do with her dad's experience at Penn State. |

As to Carter Booth, I'd note that her brother is coming to Penn State next season. So I think Carter's choice is unrelated to anything having to do with her dad's experience at Penn State. I guess I was more pondering this from the standpoint of thinking that here are two athletes in a sport where they have a strong family connection to PSU, and I don't think I heard a whiff of any thought that they might choose PSU. So I guess I was more feeling surprised that neither seemed to give PSU much consideration when in the past every top recruit in the country was giving PSU their attention. I know in my own personal life, I chose not to go to the school where my brother went, because I wanted to blaze my own path. I do suspect that is probably a common thing that plays into recruiting top athletes; some want to go to a place where they have a family connection, and others just want to do their own thing and don't want to feel boxed in by family choices. I literally pay zero attention to recruiting most years, and I just saw a familiar last name, verified that she is indeed the daughter of an alum, and it triggered random thoughts about recruiting. I appreciate that this forum lets me ramble even when I don't have a well formed thought, and that folks engage in a fun discussion.  |

Not to be snarky, but using that template, neither Starck would consider PSU because their mother played for Texas. And I think their dad had some relationship to Nebraska.
The thing I DO find relevant is that back in the 70s when Title IX was debated, pre-Title IX athletes, their parents, and some athletic departments not only disparaged the concept but claimed it would be the end of college athletics and would limit men's opportunities. Now lots of those male athletes and those that came after are having daughters that are continuing the family athletic tradition but often in a different sport. All that hate got turned into hope and opportunity for women.
Tori Dixon, Tori Gorrell, Callie Rivers, Kate Hord and countless others, had dads for whom Title IX (well, Gorrell was in Canada, but...) might have been a bit of a question mark but I'm always so tickled to see what it produced for women's collegiate sports. And of course, we have daughters of former women players, like Shifflett and so many others now.

In addition to former male collegiate athletes being able to have their daughters play collegiately because of Title IX...
Coach Mark Pavlik shared in a recent interview that there's male collegiate volleyball players now (even on the PSU Men's Team) who got into volleyball because their moms played during college... women who might have never played, thus never passing on their love of volleyball to their sons, without Title IX.
Pretty cool!

After watching a few Clemson games from last season I’m very glad Camryn Hannah has 2 years at Penn State left. These next few seasons can be very promising especially if the last of the covid year players decide to stay at Penn State for their final seasons.
