Each gaze seemed fixed toward Cooper Robinson.
But the redshirt junior’s eyes were trained on someone else.
Former Bruin teammate Merrick McHenry – with the national championship ring he earned alongside the outside hitter last year glinting on his finger – gesticulated emphatically with his hands at Robinson from the sidelines, urging him on with some advice.
