Sincere question: What improved from the lost in the regional? By the by Texas should not be ranked 1, maybe top 4 due in part to freshman setter. IMHO

Better pin depth, which should help if any of them struggle. It was sometimes a problem w Baird in the back row last season but it might apply to anyone.
It's mostly #1

nailed it and it wasn't just the injury. Francis' workouts were very limited last season and this year it's a whole new ballgame as she appears to be much fitter. We'll see, but my expectations have gone up. |

I should be better this time around hopefully. less nicknames for the Arizona players and less gushing over every Stanford player🤣 I’m also doing three games for UNT this season since I’m closer to there now, so hopefully I’m back in the grove of things somewhat |

IMHO I think most Texas fans would agree, but the polls are voted on by people who don’t pay that much attention to the national landscape of volleyball. So defending champs is an easy answer. |

Feature on the team posting later this morning. Interviewed Miner, Rubin, Oglivie, Baird and Francis and we covered a lot of ground. Thank you for this! |

Imagine how stacked Stanford would’ve been if L.Smith had not gotten injured? # 1 MB from the 2020 class

I really wish she had done that. Of course, one reason would have been to make the team better but, I would have loved to have seen what she could have done as a senior leader. |

Mcclure as our OH2 and we see Francis make the early move to middle  Then we essentially have 2022 with better ball control and leadership. and Lougeay healthy could take us well past the second round |
