Volleyball: Chris Tamas named Head Coach (Kevin Hambly leaves for Stanford)
And then it's even funnier when you learn that Stanford is paying for his home. Oh, to be a top program.
This looks like another great hire by Whitman.

Saw a post where Chris Tamas got his first verbal from a recruit, she was this past years Top Sophomore in the country (according to Max Preps), from Louisiana. 2019 recruiting class is off the a great start. She was also the states Gatorade player of the year. 6'-2" outside hitter.

So I wonder if he was recruiting her for Nebraska previously? Wonder how that conversation goes....
It's actually pretty amazing what Tamas has done so far. None of our recruits have decomitted and none of our current players have transferred (knock on wood). It's hard to do that with a coaching change, just look at the basketball team. From what I've heard the players love him. Not to mention the great recruit he just landed.
