We talk about the basics of recruiting for future classes after watching some of the top recruits in the Class of 2025 start their college careers.....on the bench this past month. We reflect back on talking with them during their recruiting processes and their stories.

1. Did they take their time? 2. Did they do their research?

3. What can prospects start to learn when watching college vb now?

4. What questions should you be asking and what research should you be doing if you are a 27, 28 or a 29 prospect?

5. Why it isn't the coach's fault when you don't play early.

6. We tell some stories of some perfect culture fits that weren't highly ranked recruits and how they are thriving because they picked culture over anything else.

7. Plus our college thoughts and early POTY rankings.

I get back on my kick of trying to make college volleyball more exciting again. Pumping up the need for better rivalries and more exciting coaching characters in the sport.

I point how colorful HC's in other revenue sports fuel rivalries and get "edge spectators" to tune in and spend $ on tickets, apparel and draw additional interest to a program or contest that normally they would not. Still going back to my main point that eventually volleyball is going to need to draw my "Buffalo Wild Wings Crowd" to truly grow and survive and thrive if they want to catch basketball as a revenue sport (at the college level). Also, it's just boring listening to the same old press conference where every coach and every athlete says the same boring rehearsed line time after time.

Plus we get into staff shouts from the latest recruiting weeks and who has been crushing it at the end of the Select Camp Circuit before we head into Prep VB season.

Lots of fun banter as the college "fan" in me comes out and I draw up some potential trash talking rivalries that might be fun to see for VB Fans:)
