Had an interesting thought today. Several top transfers have been leaving teams such as Baylor and Kentucky over recent years. These programs have had more recent success than our program. With the advent of NIL and easy transfers, how do we keep this from happening to us? Assuming we have continued success and start attracting top players, hopefully we can prevent poaching. I wonder if any of our players have been approached.

Being a top 25 team is great but to be a perennial top 10, it's going to take more talent. Unless Morrison is truly a coaching god.

Morrison develops players and is a damn good coach
12th man
Grow our NIL to compete.

Also, we made sweet 16 last season. Keep up the improvement and we will get to a point where players don't need to leave to have a shot at the NC.

Cooks leaving and the 2 replacements at Neb and Louisville were all planned. Kelly even had an escape clause in her c contract for the day Cook retired. Saved her a $300k buyout.

now, as far as transfers, perhaps they can leave in the next portal, but doubtful. a constant Final 4 program and an up and coming one, why would a player leave?

oh, a constant final four is the goal but I guess I'm thinking about the journey there. I'm sure there are other programs but I mentioned Baylor/Kentucky as they have had recent success but players are leaving them as well.

We've been lucky so far that Morrison is doing a great job keeping the team intact. I hope he doesn't become a hot commodity any time soon. At least our AD Trev Alberts knows all about having a top volleyball program.

For one, we have to keep brainwashing our kids so there's only one answer when asked where they want to go to school and play. We have to take advantage of there being so many of us now.
