Not really, they are trying to bounce back from losing the second best middle in the conference that just transferred to Oregon, and lost their best OH that transferred to UCLA.. two leaders of the team and two of the best in the big west so they need time to come back from that Always reason a players transfer. |

A change might be good. |

Both 5th years and good enough to play in another conference, I would take my chances in the portal too. |

What has that gotten her? Cal Poly is a really good school, but it's not Stanford. |

Bashing Walters isn't it. She's had to deal with a lot of adversity the past few seasons with injuries and that's out of her control.

I wasn't bashing either coach, just pointing out that their programs have under-performed, especially in relation to their academic reputation (and the recruiting advantage it gives). I think Irvine has performed worse than Cal Poly, if I had to rank them. |

Congrats to all the weekly honorees!
Side note: I am loving what Zayna Meyer has done at LBSU thus far. She is pushing tempo no matter the situation and while it does get ugly here and there I can appreciate a setter pushing their system. I already can’t wait for UCSB, Cal Poly, LBSU and Hawaii to have their annual clashes.
