Congrats to Tita.
On the beach, Pepperdine also returns 9 out of 10 starters from last season which is probably why they are ranked ages of UH in pre-season despite narrowly losing to UH at NCAA’s. Stanford also has a sting team bolostered by indoor players (No Plummer this season though). Tough competition out of the gate.
That was “why they (Pepperdine) are ranked higher than UH…”. and “Stanford also has a strong team”.
Big thumbs, small phone…
Pepperdine actually has 12 returnees and 9 of which are starters. They also added strong freshmen.

new thread up for Friday.
2. it’s a preseason poll. Hawaii has been No. 5 the past few years and ended up with a third-place finish the past two years. As Hall said, it’s not where you start but where you finish
