Who are yall's Top 3 front-runners? It'll be fun to look back at this in May to see who were right and who were poseurs LOL. Will we get another American after Gabi García Fernández or will Europeans continue to take the title?
(and yes, I am that bored)

2. Chakas (hehe).
3. Pasteur?

Pasteur. Rowan. And in a surprise move, a libero sneaks into the running... Mason Briggs.

I'd love it but I just don't know if he'll have the stats for it. Not in the system UCLA runs. |

As a UCLA fan I am thankfully still spoiled for choice. I think David and Rama are both good options but since David is much more experienced (and an actual day 1 starter) I'll choose him. I am shooting my shot with Rama though. Knight/Robinson/Champlain will play a lot too of course but I think Rama is going to take over a key role by the time the season really gets going.

The UCLA pins will likely not have enough stats. The ball moves around so much. Rowan could be in the running if they duplicate last year. |

1. Champlin,
2. Chakas,
3. Rowan
I think Champlin and Chakas are pretty interchangeable and 2 of the most complete players offensive edge to Chakas defensive edge to Champlin. Rowan best setter in NCAA, excited to see Hawaiis freshman setter, he looked like a baller with the youth national team.

Rowan. I think UCLA is the clear favorite to repeat this year with a balanced offense led by Rowan. No one guy on their team will put up the offensive numbers to win it, so then it goes to the QB of the show.
Will one of these foreigners catch us by surprise though?
Will Irvine be competitive enough for Henno to be in the picture?

Will Irvine be competitive enough for Henno to be in the picture? This is exactly what I think about all. Most probably outcome but you never know the future. UCLA is likely to run away with the season and the team is balanced so typically the setter will pick it up. If Ido has a monster season it could be him but Rowan is the odds fav at the moment in my head. |

If you lead your team to national championship territory with a balanced attack that hits close to .400 on the season, you win it. |
