This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

12 scholarships, but 16 on the roster by NDoggie78
Your point still stands. Not sure how they divide the scholarships, whether any of the 16 are walk-ons or some other type aid. But as you say, because of volleyball demographics, there are probably those that could go to ND without the scholarship.
I think the toughest breakthrough is to convince recruits that ND as a program was a serious contender. Hard to crack into that 20 or so top teams that have been top teams what seems like forever. I think hiring McLaughlin was a great move - a shame he wasn't able to continue - we will see whether Johnson can take us to the next level. A good core and some good recruits.
