Right…just sharing my thoughts. Just from a spectator’s POV. I’m one of the biggest Stanford fans in this board and while I don’t know her personally or have met in person, Plummer looked so unfriendly yesterday after their match vs Poland. We were doing photos, high fives and hi’s and hello’s with everyone - literally everyone on Team USA and Plummer just ran away so quick and did not even bother. She could just be tired, or whatever but the other fans who were standing next to me said the same thing. Meanwhile, Morgan Hentz, was also in the arena and is the friendliest ever. She probably needed to use the bathroom or something.... she came down with the flu this week and is playing with symptoms. She may have had to go throw up or hydrate. She is easily one of the most approachable players, based on what I saw at Stanford

I’ll just say I believe we have 12 scholarship players now for 2025 However if so that leaves one scholarship for 2026. Or a Frosh in 2025 maybe only one year on scholarship given We have the opening Didn't see any projections/guesses about how 18 scholarships for 2025 changes everything. Or maybe not much impact for Stanford for now but maybe more for Fall 2026.

Are the players back on campus and start practicing already? Any updates would be great. Thanks.

Will there be a preseason intrasquad scrimmage open to the public? Seems unlikely now because nothing has been announced.

A few thoughts from the practice/scrimmage: 1. Rubin and Oglivie looked really good in all facets. Rubin’s line shots were undiggable and backrow attack was improved. Miner was also solid as usual but still working on connections with the hitters. Both Oglivie and Miner tried out top spin jump serves. 2. Francis only played a bit at the beginning. Guessing she’s nursing a minor injury. Hambly didn’t seem concerned. 3. Andrew will start at MB. Showed glimpses of her potential but still working on her timing not surprisingly. McDowell and Duncan are good practice players. 4. Harvey played exclusively at OPP and seems penciled in to start there. Had some good in system swings but Kipp will be missed. 5. Blyashov and Kurt seem to be in a battle for OH2. Both had good and bad moments hitting and passing wise. This seems to be the only major question mark for the starting lineup. I think they will both see playing time throughout the season depending on the game. 6. DS play looked improved. Cawa impressed me the most- I think she will play back row for Harvey. I could see another DS come in for OH2 back row while Rubin plays 6 rotations. 7. Yu will be good but I’m assuming won’t play much this year behind Miner.

First look at the new taraflex surface. Only the court area was deployed. The edge pieces were still rolled up.

I really liked Andrew. Quicker than I expected from a 6-6 18 year old The team will fly commercial this season but the players I spoke to thought all fine. Francis is fine

Who are the 6 for 2025 and 4 for 2026? See the OP for 2025 commits. Ok. Thanks. So these are the 6 commits for 2025: 1. Kaci Demaria - Stanford University - OH (Surfside) 2. Reese Dunkle - Stanford University - MB (Circle City) 3. Spencer Etzler - Stanford University - Libero/DS (Munciana) 4. Logan Parks - Stanford University - Setter/OPP (MAVS KC) 5. Zaria Queen - Stanford University - OH (Ku'ikahi) 6. Erika Sayer - Stanford University - MB (Colorado Juniors) How good are these girls? Demaria and Parks seemed to get a lot of attention, not sure much about others. Big slip on little Harvey in this class, right? How about 2026? I missed those days when we had top girls like Folkl, Walsh, Tom, Nnamani, Barboza, etc. all wanna come play for Stanford. Hope we still can attract those types of talents in the future still. 😅
