Cal class for 2022 ranked about 59, 95 and over 100.  Yes they really need better recruiting

So do we have a shot now at hosting ?

Did Annabelle lose her redshirt ?  Or like FB can play some but not lose the year.  Btw she played well

Annabelle SMITH losing her redshirt would mean that all of Stanford's returning MBs (including McKenna VICINI and Leilah SMITH) have 3 years of eligibility left (all three includes the covid year extension). It will be interesting how that 3-player rotation at MB plays out over the next 2 years  (or 3 years, if all decide to stay for the covid year extension).

Stanford will also have a 3-player OH rotation over the next 2 years (or 3 years, if BAIRD decides to stay for the covid year extension), with Caite BAIRD (3 years left including covid year), Sammi FRANCIS (3 years left) and incoming freshman Ella RUBIN (4 years).  

And then, the OPP position will have 2 more years of Kendall KIPP, with FRANCIS as her back-up. 

Finally, you have Kami MINER manning the setting position over the next three years, with Selena XU and Malia TUFUGA as her back-ups.

Will this group, with a year of experience albeit injury-marred under their belt (for most of them), be enough to give Stanford their 10th national championship?

No question about it… if we can just find Morgan Hentz 2.0.
