  1. I agree, I'd say this match could go either way. Wisconsin has the talent to match us. They are a 3 seed because they were without their starting setter for much of the season and lost some matches they wouldn't lose today.
  2. Do we know the nature or timetable involving the current injuries on the team - Crump, Preston, Judd?
  3. Derivaux is a swiss army knife of a swimmer, ranking first in the 2027 class in 6 different events. She would have scored in 2 NCAA A finals with her high school sophomore times. She's probably Capitani's most esteemed recruit of her tenure, and rumors are a big NIL package was thrown her way to get her to Texas. She headlines a stellar 2027 class coming to Texas that also includes the #3 recruit Sadie Buckley, the class's best breaststroker Bianca Nwaizu and its best distance freestyler Daisy Collins
  4. Bob Bowman gets his next star lined up with teenage swimming sensation Luka Mijatovic from California soft launching his commit to Texas today (HS class of 2027). Luka has rewritten the US age group record books, mainly in the mid-distance freestyle events. In fact as a 16 year old he's already faster than a few 17-18 age group records. He qualified for the the US world championships team this past summer, becoming the youngest male swimmer since Michael Phelps to do so.
  5. Nebraska was the preseason heavy favorite and hasn't lost against a good schedule. They are incredibly deep - their B team could possibly make the final four.
  6. Obviously Spears is in the conversation for NFOY. Is Stafford in contention for NPOY? Certainly 1st team AA if she keeps this up.
  7. Jerritt Elliott is the best recruiter on campus.
  8. People lambasted Stanford for its 23 service errors, but these passing numbers explain why they served the way they did. Serving tough loses some points but also disrupts the opposing offense significantly.
  9. What about Elizabeth Ionescu? I thought she was class of 2025?
  10. Should be an interesting year! Our usual question mark, passing/defense, could be our greatest strength. Pin hitters will be solid if not spectacular. Season success probably boils down to 2 things: -Swindle - will she return to the form of the setter that brought us a natty 2 years ago? I'd hope with good passing this year she can shine, as she struggles most when running around the court scooping up shanks. -Will our young middle blockers show some improvement? They were strong recruits one upon a time but were meh last year even with Singletary's heavy arm. Texas has a history of developing MBs better than any other position
  11. Rankings are arbitrary and reductive, but calling Hannah Wells the #1 pitching recruit is a bit of a stretch? She's listed as #14 pitcher by On3, not even ranked in top 20 by Prep Softball
  12. I believe these rankings are purely mathematical based on current rankings by event. So in the beginning of the season, there is a small sample size for each event and if Texas had a lot of athletes compete early relative to the rest of the nation, they may be 'overrated'. It was very confusing how our programs fell off the map this year after competing for top 5 finishes regularly in recent years. It appears to be due to a mix of graduations and some NCAA scorers leaving us via the transfer portal. I'm not sure how things are looking for years ahead; is there a good source for T&F recruiting rankings/info?
  13. Does Pickens have a history of tiring out after all these innings every day?

    All 3 boats made the upper finals of the NCAA championships tomorrow. We are a likely top 4 finish as only 3 other schools did the same (Stanford, Washington, Yale). As expected, Stanford is the favorite to take the title.
