LBSU had a Zoom chat with their head coach today. She seemed very excited about the upcoming season.

Kayla Fuller, Fr., 5'11, MB (to redshirt) I also watched the Zoom teleconference and Joy stated that the Beach will be welcoming 10 incoming freshmen. With three departing seniors, and two players transferring out, that leaves a roster of 12 returning players for 2020. Joy is going to have a lot of players--22--who will all be vying for time on the court.

I was wondering about that too. It seems likely that CSUN and LBSU (and other CSU LA area campuses) will be online only. Orange County has a lower rate of COVID than LA County or Riverside County.
If it's only those three, will it matter to the Big West?

It should definitely matter, because it's not just one school. Are they taking an all or nothing approach to the season?

It should definitely matter, because it's not just one school. Are they taking an all or nothing approach to the season? I don't know. They could theoretically still have sports if they're online only. Most of the CSUs (and definitely CSU-Fullerton) are commuter schools. But, in terms of shutting down and athletics, that cuts both ways. On the one hand, there's much less need to go online only in the first place since you don't have to worry much about COVID spreading in dorms. Just make it easy to stay at home (e.g., no late penalties, online labs wherever possible, etc.) and encourage anyone with any symptoms to do so. So them going online only suggests that they're very concerned about COVID.
But they could also theoretically have athletes continue to practice and play even if most of the campus is shut down, since so few live on campus. The main problems are potential legal liability, whether the increased demand for testing/contact tracing due to sports would be politically unwise, and the optics of saying that it's not safe enough for classes but it is safe enough to play sports, esp contact sports but even things like volleyball where the virus will be active on the ball (and other surfaces) and you can't keep ppl 6 ft apart.

John Tawa and VolleyHigh ranked LBSU’s 2020 volleyball class top 15 in the country. Hopefully this nationally respected class will really elevate the team’s performance, even as freshman.

John Tawa just ranked UCSBs incoming class as top 25 nationally. That puts two Big West classes in the top 25.

I have not heard much from the Hawaii fans concerning their program’s recruiting. In 2021 the team needs to replace some very important players (Williams, Rasmussen, and Van Sickle) and not much info on the incoming 2021 class. Per Rich Kern their is one verbal from a hitter inTexas. Any news on incoming recruits and the possibility for them to be impact freshman.

You haven't heard much because we already talked it out in the "Hawaii 2020" thread as well as a Hawaii future recruiting thread (forgot the title). We have: Mia Johnson, 6'0" ( ±2"), OH, Somewhere in Texas ___________, 6'2" ( ±2"), OH, Somewhere in Europe Mystery Transfer, 6'2" ( ±2"), OH, Pac-12 school As always, I've forgotten what we talked about in that thread, except for the European girl.

Hawaii's coaching staff was getting rapid fire commitments from freshman and transfers summer 2018 through summer 2019. Then things have been pretty quiet from Spring 2020 on.

Pre-conference schedules are being released and it looks like Hawaii will host Texas A & M, Portland State and Pepperdine on the first weekend. Cal Poly will apparently host Washington & Texas A&M on the third weekend.
If Hawaii and UCSB keep UCLA on their schedule (with Beach also playing them), the common opponent could give an idea of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the three teams. It'd also make the Bruins RPI important for the Big West, so... Go Bru!
What do you like so far in the pre-conference schedules?
