Myers inherited Emily Carosone, Casey Cooper, Lexi Davis, Vic Draper, Morgan Estell, Tiffany Howard, Brandi Melero, and Jade Rhodes. Dean inherited Taylon Snow, Tannon Snow, Casey McCrackin, Chardonnay Harris, Ashlee Swindle, Kaylee Carlson, Justus Perry, Alyssa Rivera, Kendall Veach, and Makayla Martin. I would not say Myers left the better than he found it. Our expectations were higher but the coach brought in the best bunch of pure hitters Auburn has ever seen.

Richard Quick became coach in March 2007, was diagnosed with a brain tumor Dec 2008 and died in June 2009. He was responsible for two recruiting classes. Among the women he signed were Micah Lawrence, Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace, Becca Jones, Hannah Riordan and the Norberg twins. On the men's side it wasn't as good but he did bring in Karl Krug, Chris Fox, Max Murphy, Tony Cox and Kyle Owens. That was not a bad haul. Each of these made All-American at least once.

Actually Auburn did hire a top replacement in Richard Quick. It was Brett Hawke who wasn't able to maintain after Quick died.

Actually, Micah Allison was injured earlier this fall. She is the backup setter but is now playing outside hitter in their rotation.
