11 players in the last 2-3 years have gone elsewhere after spending time at Oregon. Graves would win the PAC-12 with the players that have left.

Me, I don't much care why the Ducks are losing; I'm just glad they are, or have been. Since they now play the teams ranked ahead of us, I hope they beat them - then lose 3 in a row to the Washington schools and Cal.

Oregon and Arizona seem to be on the same track. What is going on with Arizona? They lost good young players to the transfer portal last year, and had more who entered the portal and then changed their mind. During the season this year they lost Nnaji to suspicious reasons and now Gilbert, who apparently isn't injured, but is a mystery.

This is her second run of tryouts, the first ended with a track team member (javelin) getting injured and out for the year.
Barnes running a toxic program? Given the way she conducts herself in public or when cameras are around, I can't imagine what she is like in private. Unfortunately she reminds me of wagner, at least a little.
Arizona is quickly imploding. The university needs to take a close look at what is going on. This is not a portal issue, players are leaving mid season without another school to go to.

I would bet that he can turn it around but it is going to be much more difficult in the b10. Harder than if they Pac 12 didn't cease to exist?
I looked at rosters the other day, the top 3 teams in the Big this year (Iowa, Indiana, Ohio St.) all look like they could be decimated with players using up eligibility. There are a few players who could come back for a 5th/covid year (Caitlin Clark most notably), but all 3 have a bunch of 5th year/grad students on their rosters. I'm not sure which school outside of the top 3 is set to move up. Next year actually looks like a VERY good time for the 4 Pac 12 schools to be moving to the Big.

I think it's going to be a hard sell to get the top players to buy into a program where most everything is new. If I were a parent I'd make sure they were aware of the potential difficulties. Traveling 2 or 3 time zones for 4 days 10+ times a season is unprecedented. Would I want my child to be the guinea pig if there were more sure options available? I certainly be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

I admit that I was considering the logistics of the conference change. As for quality of the teams, I'd say the pac12 is better than the b10. Of course in wbb I think the pac12 is either the toughest or second toughest year after year. I still don't plan to cheer for any of the traitorous 10. Thanks for making me look at it from a different, probably more common angle.

No idea how much she did / did not contribute to her team but the parade of injuries and exits is rough to see:

Any word other than "day to day" for Betts at UCLA?
Some UCLA bloggers are insistent she is gone for the year....I guess we'll find out Friday.... Arizona is without star Gilbert while she sorts out her mental confusion OR the Arizona program sorts out theirs. Not sure which is in most need of sorting out, and since they won't tell us I'm betting that the program need sorting out more than Gilbert...
Bottom line: The Beavs are not gonna get much help finishing in the top 4.... It's very possible that when Feb. 16th gets here the Beavs will be sitting at 7-5 and UCLA at 8-4, with a Beaver win in Gill putting both at 8-5....
It's looking to me like the Beavs must sweep the LA schools AND the Wash. schools to get a 1st round Bye in Vegas... GO BEAVS!!

Ok, looking at this, I have no idea why they didn't have Timea Gardiner on this list. I haven't checked other Pac12 teams, but just reading this, Jaquez from UCLA and Timea have to be the leaders for sixth player of the year in the Pac12 with 8 games to go.
