next year they'll have still a loaded team in recruits number 2 in class Sami Francis number 2 in class julia blyashov number 3 in class elia rubin number 5 in class kami miner who knows what Lizzie Andrew will be but thats still loaded as a team . That’s a lot of inexperience. I know they are highly ranked recruits, but that doesn’t mean they’ll live up to the recruiting rank. It doesn’t compare to getting an All American player from the portal, not even close.

Be interesting to see if Stanford changes their pre-conference schedule with the move to an east coast conference. Maybe play the old Pac schools that are now in the B1G and SEC.

Defense has been the Achilles heel of Stanford the last three seasons. And sure enough, Texas hit .342 in this match. To be fair Stanfords floor defense was lights out in September against Texas and buried Texas in transition. Texas was a work in progress but it was still impressive. And Madi has taken things to a NPOY type level lately. I'm not talking about one match. Stanford let opponents hit .192 going into the tournament. Historically, that is very suspect for a Final Four team. They had the best offense in the country, and the opponent hitting percentage wasn't so high as to be disqualifying (like Kentucky's astronomical .222). But still. And I'm not taking anything away from Texas--I picked them to win this region before the tournament started. They earned it.

All she is, is tall. slow. weak. easiest blocker to hold as a setter. I'm SO disappointed in Stanford's lack of defense recruitment, being MB's and DS's.

Passing stats Stanford Rubin - 2.53 (73.3%) 15 attempts Oglivie - 2.25 (64.3%) 14 attempts Baird - 2.20 (59.6%) 52 attempts Texas Akana - 1.83 (25.0%) 12 attempts Barnes - 1.89 (44.4%) 9 attempts Halter - 2.50 (75%) - 16 attempts Skinner - 2.19 (62.5%) - 16 attempts Wenaas - 1.56 (37.5%) - 16 attempts So it looks like Stanford was not really targeting anyone in particular. Crazy 3 players all had 16 balls served at them. Looking here the position of Wenaas/Barnes should have gotten more balls served at them. I am sure this will be something that Wisconsin will exploit on Thursday.

Neither Texas or Stanford is beating Wisconsin. I really don't see the point here. The Badgers would rather face Stanford. Higher seed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
