Word in L.A. is that Alexa Strange will take 5th year to play indoor for the Women of Troy. That would be the best news possible for the Trojans. Alexa can provide not only setting skills, but leadership as well. An excellent player who has the ability to motivate her team.

It'll be Nikki Leonard from Gonzaga. USC starts fall camp the second week of August. Looks like they will open camp with Alexa Strange on board as well. Thanks for the info.

Posted last week on Baylee's public social media: In the full pic, her shirt reads "We Are The Women of Troy" Hopefully it's sign that Baylee is closing in on clearing her NCAA status for the Fall season ...unless the selfie was taken in that Lamborghini : ) Johnson is no longer part of the USC program. Hope she lands on her feet at another school.

If Baylee is currently "NCAA ineligible," then she can't be a part of any NCAA Athletics program until cleared.

Also, Nikki Leonard is a trojan (per Instagram) Wow, Baylee left USC, that is very different than what I was told a week ago. Could be you're right, but are you able to confirm Baylee is out? Do you know what the infraction was? Has anyone confirmed that Strange is playing indoor this season, or is that just Trojan wishful?

Safe to say Baylee at the very least won't be back this fall since the team starts practices in three weeks... not to mention that Nikki Leonard is already practicing with the team. Don't expect to see Alexa Strange on this roster any time soon either. Sounded like fun - but it won't happen.

Thanks for the info. Is Nikki an "A" team player?

Heard rumor they asked Reed to transfer and she declined because she loves the school. Apparently, if the college approaches the athlete about transferring and she declines the school is still responsible to fulfill the scholarship even if no longer on the roster.

Their 4 pin hitters are a true freshman, sophomore and 2 juniors who didn't play much last season. So with not so much experience at that position, I wouldn't be surprised if they added another experienced outside. And they usually carry at least 16 players on the squad. Now nothing is set in stone as to who will play what position (so based on need, changes can be made) but it seems most teams carry at least 16, though the Huskies are only carrying 12. Who that 16th player would be I have no idea.

Honestly speaking, this might be one of the weakest USC teams I have seen in a while.

Can't remember the last time USC had a season without an AA. I expect Taylor W. will have another great season, and Alyse F. will really break out this year. I don't know that much about the freshmen class, but Khalia L. has very impressive stats coming in. A lot of eyes will be on her, so a frosh team allstar is certainly possible. Mick is a demanding coach, but he is very good. He'll get the most out of his players.
