Is Blyashov out for the season? I was told she should return. The boot is off as far as I’m aware no?

No thread on the Marquette match or is it buried in one of these early tournament threads? Anyway, I've said don't overblow the early matches, but I find the woeful blocking to be concerning. I think against Marquette they had two blocks. I've noticed as other have commented that the middles aren't closing well, but that doesn't explain the overall crappy blocking. What gives? A little better against Pepperdine, but I didn't see the match, don't know what changed. Seems to have been mostly Francis, though.

I know it’s a long season, but I almost don’t want us to host a regional this year. I could not take another regional final loss 💔 Maybe Miner and the team would play better without that pressure on their backs Just feels weird being “#2” right now lol

Our hitters are not dominant. We played defense digging and could score points of the transition. We need a bail out go-to hitter. I don't think Rubin is it yet. She is a fierce leader. But I think she made many errors once the opponents can figure her out. I hope Blyashov woukd be the x-factor. We have yet to see her.

I also feel like we just play better away for whatever reason

Only Pitt looks consistently good. Did you see Nebraska vs SMU? Texas vs Miami (or a couple of other matches where they did not play well)? Louisville vs Penn State? IOW, we're 2 not so much bc we're good as that other teams have played even worse than we have. Pitt deserves to be 1 and I'd put Penn State ahead of us but there aren't many teams that are consistently playing well so far this season. It's still early in the season, though, so things can change quite a bit.

I saw her. She was the one wearing the boot. Blyashov was not wearing a boot at the Pepperdine match. I expect her to be dressed to play against Texas but probably not play.

The most concerning factor for me is the blocking of the freshman middle. She is slow to react and slow on her feet. I expect her to be much improved next year but not sure how much improvement will happen this season.

I think Hambly and the coaching staff are doing a good job coaching but the recruiting has to get better for Stanford to make final fours. The recruiting is great compared to most teams but not enough if the goal is an NC. With NIL and a conference on the East Coast, I still think Stanford can attract elite athletes in the Olympic sports. I also follow Stanford women's golf. Here is a quote from an article on the top twenty teams: " Now, it [Stanford] must replace veterans Rachel Heck and Sadie Englemann, and head coach Anne Walker does so with arguably the greatest recruiting class in college golf history." www.nbcsports.com/golf/news/ncaa-womens-golf-preseason-rankings-top-teams-players-for-2024-25
