Stanford's team in 2010 was 24-6 and opened the season by sweeping Hawaii, 3-0, 3-0. Great team, had a terrific oppo in Evan Romero, Spencer McLachlin and Brad Lawson at OH, middle Gus Ellis, and best of all, the Shoji brothers from Hawaii. Kawika (later U.S. national team setter) at setter, Erik at liberol. Lawson and Kawika were co-MVPs of the NCAA tourney, Romero and Erik also made all-tourney. MB Garrett Werner and Jason Palacios were very strong. As frosh, their team was 3-25. "Worst to First."

The 2014 team was similarly superb. Between those five years, 2010 - 2014, Stanford led all schools with at least threee players selected to the AVCA All-America first and second teams, including Senior OHs Brian Cook and Steve Irvin and soph James Shaw (son of Coach Don Shaw). MB Conrad Kaminski earned HM. Stanford had at least three All-America selections for five consecutive seasons. Grant Delgado was an underrated libero. He was Fab 50 and couldn't get on the court his first two years.

Those were the days...

Here's how tough it is for Stanford to recruit. Stanford has had 10 All Americans. One of them had the lowest SAT in the history of the program...and it was at the 82nd overall percentile. It is exceptionally difficult to get high quality men's volleyball players into Stanford.
