[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous], [quote]they are looking at the big picture (college recruitment) instead of focusing on the instant gratification (bringing home easy medals). They may have found the recipe for success in their niche market (rich families with tall players[/quote] THIS! Especially now, with portal/roster limits, every club that has 4+ college commitments for the class of 2026 (and later) has a niche market (80% of greater of players with a few standout exceptions who show up on their instagram a lot). VAE = rich families with tall players (who can be full pay in college on a volleyball roster) based on their website & instagram to date: 6 commits for 2026 METRO Travel= tallest, most athletic/talented highest number with parent(s) who played in college thus greatest number D1 commits. Close to 100% commitment for 2026 class Paramount 1s team= not as tall, extremely athletic, talented enough to easily win in CHRVA, do decently outside the region. Very few commits in 2026 and club doesn’t seem to care about college commits generally. 3 commits for 2026 540 undersized , very athletic, talented players who want play in college and are pragmatic about it (impressive number of D2 and D3) 8 or 9 college commits for 2026 Vajrs ? What their niche is. used to be a powerhouse in terms of college players, but very limited success on this metric since 2023/2024. 1 commit for 2026 MVSA = at HS level niche is strongest players from MOCO public and independent school teams who are not on Metro or PM. No college focus. 1 commit for 2026 At the 1-2 commits for a grad year level, that suggests partial (or even very little or ineffective) club support for the college recruitment process. [/quote] Paramount doesn't care about college commitments? Their 2027 class already has commitments to Penn State, Vanderbilt, UConn and Delaware? Agree about VAJRS, although they do have two 2027 commitments to UVA. Metro's 2026 class was exceptionally long/athletic/talented.[/quote] Didn’t their Penn State recruit jump to Metro? [/quote] 2027 is this current class. The 2027 kids cycle just started on June 15th, so how has this player "jumped" to Metro? People will make up anything. That kid was on the only 2027 CHRVA player to make the USA U19 Girls National Team that won gold at the Pan Am Cup[/quote] The daughter of a famous Basketball player? [/quote] That player is a class of 2025 player. She never played for Paramount. She played for VAJRS and then left to go to Metro. Paramount has a class of 2027 player that just committed to Penn State and she is widely regarded as one of the top middles in the country in her class. [/quote] Give it time. Metro bound 😂[/quote] Why would she go to Metro? Metro didn't have a 2027 player make the USA U19 National Team. Metro didn't get an Open Bid in that age group; only Paramount did. [/quote] Calm down Maureen[/quote] Definitely not Maureen. Just a person trying to call out lies of any kind [/quote] There are two Penn State commits from CHRVA: 2025 Penn State Commit and daughter of famous BBplayer was at VAJRs and went to Metro for her 18's AFTER commiting to Penn State 2027 Penn State Commit is from Paramount. She's one of the best in the country and has been at Paramount since 13's- highly highly unlikely she jumps ship and goes to Metro. [/quote] If you’re correcting facts, at least get them correct. The 2025 Penn State commit started at Metro on 12 Central, played 13s & 14s for MVSA, played 15s & 16s at VAJRs, and played 2 more seasons at Metro, playing up to 18 Travel for her 17s year and 18 Travel again this most recent season. There is another Metro player (c/o 2024) at Penn State who transferred after her freshman season at Ohio State. [/quote]
