Transfer Portal

I have written some blurbs about the transfer portal recently but for the most part I haven’t really given it too much thought in the DIII volleyball world. While doing the recruit updates, I had a coach tell me that they really don’t look at the portal at all while another said that they’ll have……

Trinity/Southwestern Moving?

D3VbWest has heard from multiple sources that Trinity is seriously considering a move from the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) to the Southern Athletic Association (SAA). If true, this move could potentially happen by the fall of 2025. All indications are that this is not a done deal and still requires approval by multiple entities.……

February Musing

I always need help with the recruiting page. Just a reminder. While updating the page recently, I noticed that Pacific had just received their second commitment from a transfer student. There are four transfers so far on the page (the other two are going to Howard Payne). What stood out with Pacific is that neither……

NWC Adds Championship Tournament!

Boom!!!!! The only volleyball conference in DIII without a conference tournament has decided to add it to their schedule starting this fall. Details are still being worked out but the plan is for the regular season champion to host the four-team tournament. The top seed will play the 4-seed with the 2-seed playing the 3-seed.……

HSU Coach Shelton Steps Down

We still have the Redlands position open but a second coaching position in Region X has also opened up as HSU has announced that Coach Breann Shelton has stepped down today. Coach Shelton finished up 3-years as the head volleyball coach and had to guide her program through the COVID years finishing 28-33. The article……

2023 Recruit Page is Up!

The 2023 Recruit Page is now up! That page will be updated throughout the year as more recruits find their way to my eyeballs. It really helps when the coaches let me know (if they can) or parents or players or aunts or whomever!!!! It really can be kind of addictive tracking down the Region……

NCAA Convention

The NCAA Convention is over so I thought I’d go through some of the proposals that were voted on. Keep in mind that QPR is currently playing so I’m going above and beyond here. We were down 2 nil but are now tied. If we give up a goal while I write this then I’ll……

Redlands Looking for New Coach

One of the unfortunate things I have to cover during the off-season is the coaching carrousel. Who moves on and who moves in as it were. I learned that Lisa Lindberg has decided to step down in order to pursue a different career as she has a legal background. She joined the program back in……

January Musing

How come when you come back from a relaxing vacation that you are always tired? The (hot) wife and I are back from Cancun, which is one of our favorite spots. Actually, Riviera Maya if you were stalking me and wanted to tell me I was wrong. We stayed at the new Hyatt Zilara (opened……

College Shuffle

In case you are new to the volleyball offseason, most stories coming out during this time aren’t good. For today, we’ve got two stories dealing with colleges/conferences. The first is the announcement that the CSAC and the United East are going to merge. “Merge” is an interesting word because it often means taking two pieces,……
