We welcome Mac Podraza to the team and man is there some recruiting tea to catch up on! We try and dive into the "new NCAA recruiting rules" and that gets messy. We talk about Purdue's newest 2025 flip of All-American Libero Aniya Warren and try and break down her decommitment and process behind (again this gets messy).
We talk about our new staff (yes I finally have an actual TEAM:) and they are rocking it out. Mac breaks down our two newest projects at VBAdrenaline the "Str8 Talk Recruiting Series" and our soon to be launched "Players Club" and the WHY Behind them.

So much in this episode.....good, bad and ugly, but always unique!

Marlie Smith is not only one of the top 2027 Setter prospects in America, she is also a National Champ an All-American and just may be the most educated expert when it comes to the recruiting process of anyone in the country. Why???? Because her entire life has basically been about college recruiting, from birth her father has been a D1 men's basketball assistant coach so she has lived and breathed the recruiting "game" from the inside. I sat down with Marlie and her father for an hour-long in-depth talk on both sides of the recruiting coin and Jeff gives us some great information and Marlie spills some first hand secrets for prospects. Excellent straight talk information from a family that has lived this craziness for years.

I talk with Brennan Dean of WAVE Volleyball about several topics dealing with the recruiting world including:

1. Is Ireland Real as "High of a Character Kid" as I think she is?
2. How good is this 2027 West Coast recruiting class!!
3. How do recruiting coaches handle the changing waves of volleyball recruiting when advising prospects?

This guy is amazing. I haven't left many more conversations impressed than I did this one. Must listen for parents, athletes, and club personnel. This guy is a wealth of knowledge.
