Doesn't Stanford have Taylor Yu coming in next year? Yeah. One thing about some SU VT'ers is they forget (don't want to remember?) schollie limits and/or how fluid year-to-year lineups can be: especially in this new age of NIL and the transfer portal. As far as MB SAs? I went to a go-to, highly reputable professional site to check out metrics on 2024 MB/OPP Sidney Duncan. As an MB her data confirms she's well above the upper-average curve nationally. So is she elite and/or going to be an MB at Stanford? Not quite elite...but available/serviceable for KH and staff. Also, with Andrew coming in...and Kipp graduating...Sidney's better metrics as an RS might win out.

So many pin recruits, it will be an overflow with the current freshman, especially if they red shirt. Meanwhile it’s crickets with the middle prospects ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Harvey

Also, with Andrew coming in...and Kipp graduating...Sidney's better metrics as an RS might win out. Duncan is a PWO. Smart to take her as we don't really have a back-up MB for next year. But hard to believe she really challenges for PT unless we have real injury issues. Andrews is the real deal and will start from Day 1. I am not sure I see her as a dominant MB, but she will be very good. Taylor Harvey is a 2025 MB and draw droppingly good. Not as polished as Andrews, but potential just oozes out. She is about two inches taller than her sister with the same level of athleticism. Long arms. Still skinny and looks like she could grow. I would take her over any other player in the class including Mullen. I don't think DeMaria is committed, but I remain skeptical that an athletic kid from Palos Verdes with good grades is going anywhere but Stanford. Feels like the tea leaves on Mullen are good as well....

Everything said here checks all the boxes...as I wrote, Sidney is a smart move and can be serviceable (available in relief due to injuries: see Francis 2022). Andrew is quite the pickup. Mullen would be too.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. Nebraska fans are all trying to downplay already. A win would be nice. But I think it’s pretty clear Stanford isn’t the juggernaut that some people were touting coming into the season. If these games can help identify weak spots early, and everyone can stay healthy, then the pre-con games have played their purpose. Honestly, in all these recent years, with these crazy strong pre-con schedules, I’m surprised we didn’t drop more early on than we did.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. Not me. I want Stanford to win but as long as it helps them improve, I'm ok with whatever happens. It's not how you play in August/September, it's how you play in December.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. I am too. I’d be more confident if we could depend on the middles for some points consistently but….

Anyone know where I can find the SU/Minn match? I think you will have to wait for someone to post it on Youtube. Since it was a free stream, Pac12 usually doesn't post those.
