[...who lives in a shoe, she has so many sneakers, her boyfriend had to move...*uhh, I digress: sorry*]. Anyway, earlier I forgot to mention the rally @21-10 in the 3rd set v. ASU was absolutely world-class! Took me back to the teams in 1996-7 with Kristin Folkl and Kerri Walsh. Some of their rallies were epic.

If Francis is down then who is stepping up? It’s reminding me of 2015 when Inky got injured and Vanjak had to play MB. We lost in the second round that year….

I guess this season is going to be very interesting- no emergency/back up MB. Next season, at least we have Andrew plus Duncan can also play in the middle right?

The initial prognosis re: Sami is about as good as one could have hoped for. From pre-match reports ~a few weeks.
Give or take a week. Being in a boot means minimal swelling, and her disposition seems cheerful and bright. Whew!

When did Francis get hurt? I missed that. Stepped on an ASU player's foot at the net during the match on Friday. Seemed pretty scary, at first!

I'm confused. In the game thread, someone mentioned Mullen and Harvey were visiting. In the Texas thread, they said Harvey and her family were at the BYU game in Austin last night. Isn’t there two Harvey’s in the 2025 class? Both ranked in the top 15 Funny enough, there are 2 Taylors, and 2 Harvey's: Taylor Harvey Jordan Taylor Asia Harvey

So Smith injured and not at matches, protocol maybe?

She was at the match Friday, but not on the bench.
Hambly said Annabelle Smith will not play this year, and will not be back for a 5th year. She is done. At least she got to play some last year. What are the odds of recruiting two MBs named "Smith" from Texas in the same class, and neither finishes with the team due to injury/health?

I took some low-res photos of the recruits with my phone. Now looking at pics online of Logan Parks, I do think that was her at the match with the other recruits.

Yes these young women were present at both the ASU and AZ matches.

Mullen was not at today's match against AZ best as I could tell.
