[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is D1 (UVA, Duke, UNC, Michigan) and there is D1 (schools you’ve never heard of with zero academic rigor), and there is minimal money for these schools. A lot of this region’s D1 recruits (outside of Metro) fall into the second category. In the basis that these kids won’t play pro volleyball and will need to get a job, I am surprised that parents don’t counsel them better and use their talents to get into a top D3 school (NYU, Chicago, Tufts, Johns Hopkins etc). Is it parents wanting a D1 kid for their own ego? Seems crazy to me.[/quote]
Do you know this area's volleyball? You mean Metro players went to lafayette, Leigh, Towson, Navy etc falled into the second category? Metro has the best talents in this region and still got recruited into the same schools like other club.[/quote]
The poster with broken English strikes again. There is some obvious envy that Metro attracts some of the best players in the region. Metro should offer this poster a coach position and all the Metro players would make it into Nebraska or Texas. [/quote]
Right?  And the Ohio State player they keep going on about had 27 kills in a 5 set match against Penn State last weekend. She's starting on a Big 10 team as a freshman and making a huge impact. Sounds like a real disappointment. This poster also seems to be avoiding talking about the Metro player who has been starting as a freshman for #1 ranked Pitt. Or the Metro players getting significant playing time for Louisville, BYU, or UNC who are all ranked in the top 25.

And those poor kids who have to go to Lehigh, Lafayette, or the Naval Academy - what a shame that have to suffer at these great schools while playing the sport they love.[/quote]

The Metro alum that goes to Louisville never sees the floor (and she's a junior). Other CHRVA clubs have sent players to various Patriot League schools. Moreover, there are other CHRVA clubs that also currently have players who are on Top 15-25 programs.[/quote]
