Under Inside the  PAC 12

Thank you Bob!

From your careful tracking of these teams, it seems to me that we can expect Arizona to be considerably improved--a much less easy out. 

ASU will probably get better since they lose no one.  It will improve as young players develop under CTT.

It looks like C.al might be diminished somewhat.  It doesn't look like they are getting enough to replace what they are losing in Cowling and Davidson.

Colorado doesn't look like it is upgrading its talent much but their coach will continue to improve the team based on experience and her system taking root. 

Oregon State--Slocum will be a big get for them.  If their incoming 6'9" frosh Aquino can start then they will be a real force to contend with, but otherwise replacing Gulich will be a challenge.  I'm not sure if they will contend next year or the year after, but I think Rueck has now proven that they will be a threat every year regardless of comings and goings.

Oregon--of course they will be the odds-on Pac 12 favorite again, since they won everything this year and lose no starters.  But with Oregon as good as it was this year, it is scary to think what they will be with Boley and an extra Sabally.  I'm curious about Sierra Campisano who appeared in our recruitment conversations a couple years ago--she must feel she'll never play with Sabally and now Erin Boley in front of her.  Where is she going?  And the hint about another departure?  I hope these are genuinely voluntary departures and not a case of Graves clearing out second string players to free scholies for yet more recruiting.  He has always seemed like an ethical coach.
