What's the thought here that Kentucky is better than t.u.? I don't know what Kentucky did in the off-season but they lost their best player and I'm assuming texas reloaded as they alway do. Skinner is a better coach though in my opinion.

I was thinking texas, kentucky, Aggies with a tighter gap between #2 and #3.

The poll also has Florida right behind A&M. I hope that proves to be wrong.

I think it's just Kentucky brings back every player aside from Hudson. They also added Morgan Gaerte a strong pin hitter from Notre Dame. Maybe with tu there's questions about the middles?

I thought DeLeye and Tuozzo were Seniors last season. I guess I need to pay better attention.

How many aggies do y'all think will be on the AVCA Player of the Year watchlist tomorrow?
