I hope the locals do well also, I will be watching this coming season a little more closely. Been a lot of lean years at ASU and it needed a re-tool the PAC is a tough conference. But, it sure would be nice to do well against some of those SoCal schools and maybe knock a couple off the top haha. :)

I would love for them to beat that other SoCal school for sure. As the saying goes, "a rising tide raises all ships." Let's hope that they are significantly improved this year. One recruiting class can make a huge difference.

Big loss for Stanford. Her workrate was the engine that drove their offense believe it or not.... Sometimes info you get from a guy at the bar is correct.

Wow...obviously transfers of players late in their college careers are fairly commonplace, but a key player on the defending NC squad leaves to play their last year elsewhere??? That's got to be nearly unheard of. Is there more behind the scenes to this story? Or just a matter of someone having reached the mountaintop and wanting to move on to something different?

Stanford spends their money years in advance. If a player redshirts there then they have a choice to make that 5th year. Either transfer and go to grad school elsewhere as a celebrated graduate transfer or pay for that first quarter out of pocket ($24k for the quarter). Their coach is upfront about this.

Guess you can say she went from the Mt Top to the HillTop. Both are such phenomenal schools, great locations (DC is actually pretty rad now days) Moreover, Coach Nolan is good people, runs a tight ship and his players move on to do great things.

I agree 100% GTown is a top academic destination with influential alumni (ask Monica Lewinsky).

This is the exact scenario I was talking to my daughter about. For the career she wants to do, grad school is almost unobtainable even with a 4.0. So assuming she is still on this path at the time she enters college I told her that she might want to see if she could red shirt her first year. Assuming she graduates in 4 years, she then might be able to use soccer to get into grad school. Thanks for posting this. I get to say "I told you so" tonight.
 
I saw SDSU vs. CSUF on 8/10/18. SDSU did not seem to have an overly large roster. Interesting that two players have transferred away. Is there something going on with the program?

Friesen has made some pretty iffy calls with recruiting the last few years and it's really costing them now. That coupled with SDSU having their best player transfer in multiple years tells me that something isn't going right. Environment? Team cohesion? I heard he had a pretty good midfielder from Norcal that he was about to land but she transferred clubs (was friends with the club she transferred from) and pulled the plug after telling her she was golden. not good BUT then again, he just signed a new contract so he's not going anywhere...
 
Friedan didn’t do himself any favors with the Pruitt transfer. Held her up for multiple games. Reputation follows you. The fact that Moses left for a full year to avoid his BS Should tell you something

That and playing in the MW Conference with only one auto-qualifier. I think some of these players fly under the radar and end up wanting a bit more from their soccer experience. Who wants to play in Wyoming every other year?
