gfhockey Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM I think a more safe higher and better bet would be to hire a D1 assistant that has experience recruiting, and the last not some guy from the coast that he got tipped off from his son who is a graduate assistant but risk reward 2 Quote

Not a great strategy for a D1 School. Maybe works for Hockey but not many other sports. You probably were happy with D2 athletics. Sometimes you have to recruit outside the state of North Dakota to be competitive. I for one am glad that we got some new blood in here. Because they don’t have unbelievable VB coaches in the midwest, right? VB is outstanding in this part of the country. 1 Quote

Plus a wife that play college for a power 5 school and was in Olympics. Neither had a proven record like this hire. Quote

Tell me who you would hire then? I am not talking Bemidji State or Moorhead State. I suppose you think we should hire Faith Dooly a UND all star alum coaching Concordia now. VB is outstanding through out the country. Id say ND and SD is probably the worst when you look at players playing D1. You obviously didnt read my post where I said where the new coach recruited from to come to New Jersey. Quote

Actually, when my daughter was playing HS volleyball only a couple of years ago. It was generally acknowledged that the midwest had execellent high school volleyball. Maybe that has changed. "While exact state-by-state numbers aren't readily available in snippets, data shows over 470,000 girls played high school volleyball in the US in 2022-23, making it incredibly popular, second only to outdoor track, with states like California, Texas, Nebraska, and Minnesota leading in overall participation and competitiveness." https://renathletics.com/blogs/news/the-best-states-for-volleyball?srsltid=AfmBOopcvV8k3-C7RW1XLyD5HJtxk2yolAuv8JZ8fljajE8rjo0oyuRu 1)CA, 2)TX, 3)NE, 4)MN, 5)IL, 6)PA, 7)WI 3,4,5 & 7 are areas UND recruits for other sports. I think a regional coach with strong connections should thive. Quote
