Re: Thoughts about 2008 Summit League Play
Many schools are real sticklers on releasing athletes and I think there is merit in that position. Example: Notre Dame (bring it close to home: Notre Dame refused to release Ramsay Kavan, Yankton standout who ran for the Fighting Irish one season and then transferred to USD). I understand that's the policy for the Irish -- releasing an athlete is the exception, not the rule. Athletes know Notre Dame won't be treated like a farm club for other schools.
Isn't athlete retention one of many factors the NCAA considers in determining whether a school, particularly a Division I school, is meeting the NCAA standards?
Rational Thought commented in his post that it's foolish for an athlete to select a school based on a coach. I agree. I think most athlete do just that: pick the school based on a coach...but, I do not think that's a wise policy.

Originally posted by 91jack View PostI don't know why SDSU wont release her. I think that they should let her go because she wanted to come here for a coach. He is leaving and she wants to follow him. If she played here, she would have to sit out a year. When you go from one DI school to another DI school, that's the way it works.
"Coaches can pull scholarships"?? I know that coach Palileo did that but I don't hear of many other coaches doing that. I think most coaches stand by their word and stick with their players. They may talk to the player and ASK them to leave. Tell them they won't get playing time so it might be best if they move on. That happens more if there is a coaching change. I know if a coach was recruiting my kid, I wouldn't send him to a coach that won't stick with him. That would be a good way to hurt your coaching career.
I've even heard of coaches that give an injured player a scholarship. I think normally it's a partial scholarship but they stick by their players.

Re: Thoughts about 2008 Summit League Play
Well, do you suppose it is possible that the administration has a reason it won't release her? I can think of a lot of things to second guess, but hard for me to pick this as one. I've heard a number of things about Coach Palileo leaving, taking one of this year's recruits with him, and having Anne Adams and Emily Rooney transfer.
Timing may have been one reason for the release decision...and Anne is a sophomore and had a year here, so she isn't like a recruit at this stage.
Anyway, it is all water over the dam...and I'll trust there was a good reason, as we have released other players in the past.
The big question now is that with two new coaches aboard, and a tough schedule (as well as a tough "follow" to last year's success), and the loss of six players from last year, the team will have its work cut out and the start is just four weeks away!!
I think we are going to like our two new coaches, but it will be a tough year for them. GO JACKS!!

Originally posted by gojacks89 View PostAnnie is enrolled at WSU but will have to sit until January because Fred and crew will not release her. Why not? It's not like she's going to NDSU or something. I know she signed a letter of intent as a SENIOR in HIGH SCHOOL but it's like a one year deal in the pro's. Coaches can pull scholarships, why can't players back out? Just a thought. I understand if she was going somewhere in the Summit League, but she's going to the PAC-10 for God's sake. Anyway, good luck to Annie and Rooney and Go Jacks.

Sitton left the team over Christmas Break. Adams wants to go to Washington State but has not been released from scholarship. So she is chilling in Pullman.

Re: Thoughts about 2008 Summit League Play
So Rooney went to Washington State (she is on the roster there). Where is Adams going? Also I notice Sitton is no longer on the roster?

If injuries are avoided and Fiegen and Youngren develop like expected, they can be a mid pack team this year. If things take a while to develop, they will take some good hits. Iwamoto and Angner are the big keys to success, take one of them out things will be tough.

Honestly? She really said, "It is going to be anybody has to go through a learning curve; it is going to take some time to develop."
I guess I'll take your word for it.
BTW, in your opinon, since you seem to have insight to the Volleyball team...Are they up for the challenge of "rebuilding"??
Go Jacks!!
