  1. The ship carrying Cam Ward and Fernando Mendoza has sailed.
  2. I'm sure Haynes King can offer his teammate a great endorsement of playing in aggyland.
  3. From June 2025: Q: Can you share your recruiting story and why you decommitted from Nebraska? Ayden: "I committed to Nebraska soon after June 15th, but later realized Texas was a better fit. I decommitted in October of my senior year. It was stressful, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Everyone’s recruiting journey is different. I emailed coaches, sent highlights, and showed interest early. If you're thinking of transferring or decommitting, do it. You have to follow your heart and avoid regrets." https://www.2adays.com/blog/ayden-ames-talks-recruiting-gatorade-glory-and-flexworks-camp/#:~:text="I committed to Nebraska soon,Texas was a better fit.
  4. Whatever the Wisconsin S&C guy did to help Colyer add a self-reported 4" to her vertical this year, let's find out and mimic it. Or just hire him/her away.
  5. An all-around weak team performance, no doubt. I did think it was odd having Harvey suddenly reappear for long stretches after being a chronic DNP lately.
  6. For whatever reason(s), she didn't get a lot of run yesterday.
  7. No, it's not nearly the same USC without Watkins. But forget all that and just watch UCONN. They're a relentless machine.
  8. We and maybe LSU have more of a chance to beat them than do most other teams, both due to talent and coaching. That said, I just can't ignore UCONN's ability to handle pressure, control the boards and lean on the opposition's D in ways other teams can't. It's almost as if they have a couple Bookers on the court at all times. We desperately need Crump and Preston back to make it a more fair fight.
  9. If there's a hit, I think it's only a brief blip on the big picture. As of today, which school is better in women's sports overall? Making the Elite Eight with a young VB team (as opposed to aggy's 9 seniors) was a decent run. Not the ending we wanted, but we're a blueblood most people see as being on an upward trajectory again. And that new facility can't hurt. Softball and basketball are clearly well entrenched and have even fuller talent pipelines at the moment. They'll likely keep contending. Now throw in rowing, swim/dive, tennis, golf, track/field and beach VB, along with new blood coaching soccer, and most women's sports are either already elite or showing signs of getting there. Aggy and other schools will come and go in certain sports, but CDC isn't going to let any area lag for long.
  10. I assumed from the start that Akina was a transitional coach for us, in part due to his age. As we didn't seem to get any clear benefit from his "teaching," it's hard for me to grasp his being around in 2026. But I don't claim to know who the best replacement would be.
  11. Wonder what the portal will bring to Austin...or take from it.
  12. In retrospect, our improbable perfect record with a front-loaded schedule hid some issues that killed us last night. Wisconsin, A&M and some other teams got better late in the year, while we sputtered a bit even as we were winning SEC matches. The warts caught up with us and Stanford, who also looked pretty mortal in defeat. Penn State and Creighton were even less competitive.
  13. Until proven otherwise, UCONN is the best team in America. And I think it's by some decent margin. Size, speed, handles and consistent shooting make them hard to stay within 10 points of. And obviously, they stack up OK in coaching. Doesn't mean we couldn't beat them when we're healthy, but it would take great shooting (get rid of the endless missed layups) and dodging foul trouble.
  14. I can imagine a worse fall sports season than this. And I need not go very far back to find it.
