I’d put money on Stanford beating Wisconsin Oh I wouldn't. Offense is close, Wisconsin slight advantage. Defense also close. Digs - Stanford advantage. Blocks - Wisconsin advantage. I have watched Wisconsin's Smrek playing U-15 through U-18. One of the clever opposing setters was able to outwit Smrek consistently, taking advantage of her sluggishness and slower reaction rate. That setter unfortunatley has quit volleyball in favor of med school. Well Smrek plays right side so that wouldn’t really factor in, right?

Any update on Suli Davis? Still on the board, so to speak. General rule of thumb is...longer it takes, the better for SU's chances. She's being coveted by BYU, SC, WIS & other high-level programs. Rated #6 by PVB; #9 by PrepDig.

Kipp's efficiency needs to improve if Stanford wants to do the thing. Also Vicini at 1K / set is not going to cut it.

Kipp's efficiency needs to improve if Stanford wants to do the thing. A fairly consistent effort today v. Colorado....Kendall must've read this : .379 (18-7-29); 2 SA; 4 TB.

BTW - In Ryan Hunter’s most recent Insta post, Taylor Harvey is wearing a Nebraska jersey… Hmmm...interesting post (and timing) coming on the heels of Stanford's sweep of Colorado. The obvious thing that struck me in reading this is the fact that until an NLI is signed, it's all just speculatory. Her sister put out an Instagram post when on her official visit to SU. She was photographed at San Gregorio State Beach wearing a Stanford sweatshirt. After that she visited other campuses: wearing their gear. I have a contact in SU's SID who has kept me abreast as to the current recruiting process. I've twice posted approved, somewhat generic hints as to the real progress the staff is accomplishing in recruiting. This was to counter some of the erroneous speculation which has been rampant amongst some here. Assuming that Taylor is a slam dunk for Stanford has been one of those fallacies. My source had given me the go-ahead to post that the scuttlebutt guessing as to specific recruits was "two hot, one "off" and the rest warm". Those two "hot" prospects are now committed to the admissions process, along with one "warm". Taylor Harvey may well end up yet as part of SU's 2025 recruiting class. It is still in process.

It is still in process. complete guesses but im gonna say its parks and Mullen that have already committed and that Harvey and Demaria are 'warm' and suli Davis being 'off' I have no reason to think these things other than about parks, just speculating. maybe id switch the guesses of Mullen and Demaria as I did hear a little back that Demaria really wanted to go to stanford

Just that she was not the hot slam-dunk some thought. We're really cognizant of not stealing the recruits' 'thunder'...in that they make their announcements.

faircritic did not offer much analysis so not sure if that was fair. RED did beat Stanford at Maples in the pre-con and looked good doing it, but they were stalking them up to that point in time. That is, RED didn't have to worry about the parade of cupcakes that they took to the woodshed at home in Lincoln (except for the short bus ride they took to Manhattan, KS) before taking on the Card. Meanwhile Stanford was on the road for four of their six pre-con matches with little time to carry out meaningful practices. In short, I'd like to see how Stanford develops during the season and whether they can eliminate some of the open look hitting errors, overpasses, balls dropping to the floor because of bad communication, etc. Likewise we'll see home RED and their freshman hold up on the road in the B1G. For my money, agreed travel makes a difference. However, having watched several home and away games by the leading teams (Stanford, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Louisbville, and some others), the thing that stands out is Nebraska's daunting defense. To my simple eyes, it looks to be the best in NCAA. Their very young offense is quite good and guaranteed to improve with the season. Stanford's team has been together for 3 years and may improve some with season. They will certainly win Pac 12. Wisconsin offense is daunting but their defense is decent. While the outcome will reveal itself when it does, putting all this together it looks to me like a Nebraska-Wisconsin season. We will see. The problem is the best defensive team has won the championship MAYBE once or twice in the past fifteen years. Serving, passing and offense trump great defense almost every time in the NCAA (just ask Russ Rose). And saying that Nebraska will drastically improve their offense by the end of the year is pretty speculative. Once teams get more tape on these young Nebraska hitters they will be able to scheme better defensively against them, and the NCAA season can also be a grind for these more inexperienced underclassmen. We'll see.
