There are a lot of coaches out there who would jump at the chance to turn the program around. Oregon State, Oregon, South Carolina, Louisville, and now North Carolina State were at best in mediocrity and are now among the best in the country.
The game has changed since our glory days. There are better players and most of all a lot more better coaches out there now.
Our new volleyball coach came in and brought in a number of transfers to rebuild the program including several award winners. And it appears that she has recruited a couple of very exciting new recruits for next year. Players want to play for a good coach and a winning team.
Inexperienced players will have a lot of hiccups and that is about all we have. I still believe that we have some good talent and apparently have a couple of good players coming in. I am not confident that we will have the effective size we need to compete in today's game.
Oregon State have 6 of their top 7 players coming back next year and have picked off a 6-3 five star player from dallas and a 6-5 five star player from Derby, Kansas. Either of them would have been great for us.
We need to hold our good players and do what is necessary to solve our weakness in the middle.
