What's your Pac 12 spring roster all star team? I think Stanford will have the strongest spring team overall since they are returning everyone, but my multi-school all-star team would be: S: Hannah Pukis OH: Mimi Colyer, Madi Endsley OPP: Kendall Kipp MB: Sami Francis, Shea Rubright (is she returning?) L: Georgia Murphy Of course I’m a little biased towards the Ducks. I’m interested to see if there’s any difference in Georgia Murphy’s level of play (either good or bad) without Brooke next to her in serve receive and often on defense.

For some reason I thought she didn’t have elibility left; is next year her COVID year? If so, then yes, she’s on my team!

What's your Pac 12 spring roster all star team? Fields (DS Murphy)/Colyer (DS Trubint or Bays, unless she can pass confidently over a 2) McGhee/Jehlarova Pukis/Kipp Oglivie A lot of losses… Nuneviller, Robinson, Hoffman, Luper, Grote, EMP, even smaller names like Hart, Hiapo, Isanovic, McCall, Weske

They need more than just USC/UCLA to make this viable for non-football sports - as it is, it is just too geographically imbalanced with USC/UCLA amateur athletes having to crisscross the country multiple times, like professional globetrotters, while other B1G athletes will only have to do it once. The B1G may have been able to pick off Oregon and UW, if they'd invited them, but they didn't. That allowed UO, UW, Stanford, and Cal to put up a solid front -- take all of us, or none at all. Oregon and/or Washington would jump at the chance to join the B1G. I don't think there's any doubt about that. Since they didn't get the invite, they have to try to make the best of the current situation ... for the moment. They might have, but weren't. The question is what would be the best "game strategy". I don't think the B1G stopping at USC/UCLA is viable for those schools' non-football sports and athletes. The B1G could invite any one, two, or three out of the four, leaving the others out in the cold. If all four stay, the Pac can remain viable; if not, it could collapse. What would be the safest bet? I'd say, form a solemn compact: take all four, or none.

I'd say, form a solemn compact: take all four, or none. But it's not necessarily true that taking all four is better than taking two. It takes a lot more commitment for those schools to band together waiting for a joint opportunity, than for one or two of those schools to jump on the first good ship with two seats. Cal is really the weakest link here. Cal's conference attractiveness right now is entirely reliant on being paired with Stanford, but Stanford is the PAC school that is best positioned because of its academic reputation, financial position and over-all competitive results.

Thanks to the portal, we have quality PAC players transferring to other conferences. A top PAC coach has "transferred" to the B1G. And, as we know, it's not just players and coaches, but entire universities. USC & UCLA have also "transferred" and any hope that the switch would be stopped, has now been eliminated. There wasn't a single PAC VB school in the top 10 for attendance this year. At this point we have no clue if new teams will be added or more will be lost. Will it become the PAC10 again? PAC8? Just the PAC? And the conference has, IMO, the worst VB TV coverage of any of the top conferences. Add all that up, and it has to be some heavy lifting for recruiters right now. the pac-12 network is an absolute joke

But which two? That's my point. Travel partners matter, but which partners?

And I don't think they will require a two-fer.

Maybe there is no hope for PAC12 VB:
