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.

Went to the LOVB Austin vs Houston match tonight. Was hard to root for the home team full of ex-horn players.

Game was pretty good and Houston won 3-1. The announcer was terrible trying to get the crowd more excited. They need to figure out how to amp up the production.

Hoping we start seeing some Aggies onboard in the coming years. I guess with LOVB, they would play on the Houston team.

The Houston coach is the coach for the Turkey women's national team. I thought he looked familiar.

Lock down Morrison. What is the status of his contract?

yeah that was my first thought too... Don't come after our coach!

Anyone have a feel for if that is even a possibility? Maybe not for Florida but just in general if Morrison is turning heads...

From what I can find, Morrison is a well paid for volleyball HC, but there is a big gap from where he is and the highest paid HC. Could easily double his salary and still not be the highest paid.

He seems to really like it here, 12th man, growing the sport, program resources, conference. Also, they just finished building a house, so maybe not interested in starting over.

I feel like he would stay if we matched an offer. Also, it shouldn't cost that much to match, highest paid is <$1mil.

The girls at Florida want the assistant to move into the head coaching role which i bet was the plan from the beginning

Jaime and his family were out at the softball opener last night.

He is such an authentic and likeable guy with an absolute passion for what he is doing here. I hope he makes his entire career here and all the things he imagines happening here occur because of what he doing. First order of business for us is to get out to volleyball games and lets show him Aggieland loves volleyball.

if you give it a shot, you will walk away saying that was fun and keep coming back.

I can attest this is true. Wife and I went to a game beginning of Jamie's first season. Now 2 year season ticket holder and waiting to renew for next year.
