Highest men's ranking for pre season in more than a decade

Well deserved. Obviously Morris gets most of the plaudits. It'll be interesting to see whether he's used as a pure forward or a second forward (he was preferred as the latter last year). Then you have Corey Baird and Tomas Hilliard-Arce, who were excellent as freshmen. They ought to improve. Brandon Vincent is an excellent left back, which makes him a very rare commodity. Supposedly the incoming recruiting class is quite good -- I've heard good things about Amir Bashti, who's a bay area local. Add it together and the picture looks good.

The main question is how frequently Morris might serve national team duty. That might dent regular season results and prevent a successful defense of the conference title.
