It's always interesting to see how the ITA Kickoff Weekend Draft goes - and this year is an unusual one for Stanford as they aren't hosting as we're ranked #22. So, with that in mind, it's fun to watch where other teams go. A lot of this is about going where you think you have the best odds of advancing through the weekend dependent on next years rosters. 

#15 Oklahoma State selected #14 Texas Tech
#16 UCLA goes to #11 LSU
#17 Vanderbilt goes to #3 Michigan (This is an interesting choice - given that Michigan only loses their #1 from what I can make out. I'm sure others are more in tune with what Michigan lost after running to the Final Four this year.)
#18. Washington goes to #9 Tennessee
#19 California goes to #13 Texas
#20 USC goes to #7 Virginia
#21 UCF follows UCLA to LSU for a cracking regional of LSU, UCLA, and UCF. 
#22 Stanford picks #10 Oklahoma
#23 Wisconsin joins USC and Virginia in Charlottesville. 
#24 Baylor joins California and Texas in Austin. 
#25. Pepperdine joins Washington and Tennessee in Knoxville. 

In looking at where Stanford drew, Oklahoma seems like a reasonable choice given that they presumably are losing Alina Shcherbinina (#1), Emma Staker (#4), and Ava Catanzarite (#5) - but I can't verify who may still have eligibility after this season. It was most likely the best available, unless you wanted to go join Washington and Tennessee in Knoxville. We'll get #69 Yale in the first round, with #57 Memphis starting against Oklahoma. 

I'm sure Colorado Tree has some thoughts on who's going where, but I think we've done well to avoid an ACC Team and get opponents outside of the ACC for this kickoff weekend.  

It's worth noting that the men are seeded #4, and they are already at the 46th selection and Stanford's site hasn't been selected yet.
