We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
Correct, because the new coach at South Carolina is trying to take 4 or 5 of the current roster. Hopefully they all stay. South Carolina is going to be horrible for years to come in the SEC.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
I did think we looked very good yesterday in our scrimmage. This team has the potential to win the SunBelt. Those hitters are something else and they are still so young.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
Elise and Ava have both entered the portal. Also saw that a 2026 commit has switched her commitment to South Carolina as well.bcoach wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 9:41 amWhy do you say that.goappstate wrote: ↑Sat Apr 12, 2025 4:10 pmCorrect, because the new coach at South Carolina is trying to take 4 or 5 of the current roster.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
Taylor McNear also not on this year's roster. I would assume she's portaling too.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
No financial support to compete in that conference. This is why their first 5 candidates they wanted turned the offer down. USC has made it clear that they are not investing in volleyball the way others in the SEC do. No financial support + average coaching = horrible for years to come.bcoach wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:51 amWhy is SC going to be horrible for years to come?goappstate wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 3:18 amElise and Ava have both entered the portal.

You don't like her I guess. Too bad about the money commitment though.goappstate wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 11:48 amNo financial support to compete in that conference.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
She can coach. And be one heck of a role model. I don’t know about any of the rest.

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
She only has to make them better (not win championships) at USC in order to get her next better opportunity. I think she showed she can coach with less while being at App. St....

Re: New VB coach Chad Sutton
That's what I thought. Looked to me like she did a pretty good job. Sure better than average.
