Stanford lost the recruiting battle for Ireland Real (6'4" OH, 2027 top 5 rank) to Texas.

Real would have been a great get. However, our volleyball recruiting continues to remain really strong. I did hear broadcasters say on ESPN last night that Hambly said Stanford volleyball will be involved in revenue sharing. Not sure what that will involve but hopefully a way to help retain our best players going forward with some compensation.

Our recruiting is not strong.  We are no longer getting the kind of top-5 pin hitters that you need to win national championships.  Real would have been one of those.  This is a brobdingnagian problem.
