AVCA coaches preseason DI poll has Stanford at #21.  That seems about right to me.  Stanford is a total unknown until they prove something on the court.

I'm optimistic that they will move up quickly, exactly by proving it on the court.  They have a lot of talent.

The RichKern.com preseason poll puts Stanford at #16, FWIW.

I hope you are right and I am wrong.  Here is my guess.  They win the first two matches and lose the next six matches.  I would prefer this insanely difficult non-conference schedule next year when key players will be more experienced.

The roster has the bios of the incoming freshmen but not their pictures yet.  Here are a few tidbits I found interesting:

Kalissa Greene; older sister played volleyball for MIT.

Maiya Tillman; graduated salutatorian from St Joseph High School in Victoria, Texas.

Kami Miner; father Harold Miner still ranks as the all-time leading scorer (2,048 in three seasons) in USC history.

This wasn't in the bio.  I recall Harold Miner winning an NBA dunk contest back in the day.
