I flew back from Miami early this morning. A brief re-cap on the week:
- Watched Sofie and Team Canada play the Dominican Republic. It had been quite sometime since I watched a volleyball match as a fan. Sofie played significant minutes in the later part of the 4 sets. Her jump serve was effective and had a big time block on the Dominican's best player.
- The scope of our recruiting efforts continues to overwhelem our staff. While I headed to Miami to watch the 15's, 16's, 17's and 18's divisions, Brent headed to the JVDA Nationals in Louisville. Upon Brent's return from the JVDA's, he recruited the Volleyball Festival in Phoenix. There is significant talent to be found at each tournament - with ever increasing competition for those players.
- While in Miami, I watched the USA Women's Team play Peru and Puerto Rico. Again, it's fun to watch a volleyball match as a fan. Both matches proved to be competitive and went as planned with the
US winning both matches. - Long days in the Miami Beach Convention Center, then USA Matches in the late evening, made for little sleep.
- One of 2010 recruits who has verbally committed to ASU played in the 17 Open Finals at JO's. Pretty remarkable feat given the competition in the 17 Open Division.
- July 1st - our staff can now call our 2010 recruits. Prior to July 1st they could call us, but we could never return the call.
