Actually, I was wondering which 12 of those players listed (17 for next year) have the scholarships.
I would think all the tallest and the starting shortest.
Logical enough but I am still not so sure. If a "short" player is highly regarded when it comes time to commit, as a parent, I would take scholarship offers into account when deciding where to go. So, (I speculate), that all of the members of a highly regarded recruiting class would be offered a scholarship. I suppose its possible to recruit a player as a walk on, but even for Penn State that has to be a pretty tough sell in most situations. |

Well figure it out, 12 have schollies and everyone else is a "walk-on." I imagine some don't have to actually try out. I've heard that some schools work it out so players can get scholarships for one- or two-year portions of their tenure on the team. I'm sure coaches have people who figure out the logistics of these arrangements. |

The talking head on the PSU/Stanford match discusses the changes that Hamby advised his setter to make to assist and help the HITTERS ABILITY TO PLACE THE BALL WHERE THEY WANT IT.
SETTERS ADJUSTING THEIIR SETS TO ENABLE THE HITTERS TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE!!
Such skills are not easily learned and require a great deal of practice time repeating and repeating.
Those are skills learned over years not the first few months of collegiate practice
Sam Tortorello who was the setter for us in the mid 2000 period spent something like 8 to 10 years learning at Sports Performance as did Bonnie Bremner who received high honors for I think 3 years of her 4 here
This capability is almost required for players winning on the National scene.
