I heard about five weeks ago Hambly and Rubin went to DC to advocate for some sanity in NIL and transfer rules. I just saw this picture. One of the comments was they thought the guy in the picture was a Senator.

I was at a club volleyball tournament today at the Anaheim Convention Center. It was a big tournament; 281 teams just in the 16u age group. Hambly was there watching his daughter Maura. I believe he’s traveled down to SoCal for all four of the SCVA tournaments to watch his daughter; a dedicated father.
FWIW, a while back the Oregon head coach took a job at Kansas. There was a mad dash to the transfer portal and only two returning players are on the Oregon team. I guess big Nike NIL money isn’t interested in keeping WVB players at home.

Geez Nebraska and Texas early in the season. Both those teams are a bunch of highly paid professionals. Does anyone know definitively what meaningful NIL, if any, WVB players at Stanford are getting? I'm not talking about a couple bucks commission for each sweatshirt sold with their name and number on it.
So 2027 players can be contacted by coaches and issue verbal commits on June 15th. Are there any other prep players than Real and Mack being discussed?

Presumably OH: Rubin and Kurt (or Blyashov); Harvey is the OPP
Setter: Yu
MB: Andrew and a freshman?
Lib: Etzler is the only one listed, but possibly one of the DS from last year?

That’s my thought BC except maybe a 6-2 with Parks also setting
Yes on a Frosh MB no clue which

Would the thinking then be that Harvey and one of the other pins (wasn’t Kurt at one point thought of as a potential OPP) rotates in so as to be able to play all four pin hitters? One of the things we will miss about Miner was her ability to catch the opposition napping by hitting on 2. You lose that with a 6-2, but gain the ability to have three hitters/blockers at all times (four if you have a good back row hitter). My recollection is that the last time we played a 6-2, we won a national title, but only because we switched to a 5-1 midyear, LOL.
Life after Oglive and Miner will be an adjustment.

Talking to Kurt before her first game she thought never as opp. Of course now loaded with pin hitters so we shall see.
Hope to make the bbq next month and learn a lot
The 6-2 less than half the season then.
Lost Francis also as you said a Frosh in her place
Of course our Frosh class ranked third in the nation

Yes, that was the joke. That being said, swapping systems mid-year is a major challenge, and it is amazing that the season ended well, let alone that we won a national championship after the switch. Alas, it was switching away from a 6-2 to a 5-1, but still, it is true that the last time we started the year with a 6-2 we won a title, LOL.

Match at University of Texas Moody Center (capacity 10,000 plus for volleyball) is sold out more than one month before the match.
Will Stanford sell out any of its home matches?
