Looks like Rivals implemented Google sheet integration into their posts. That's pretty neat, but unfortunately it messes with the formatting.

Direct link to the Google sheet with better formatting here.

Pac-12 Media Day is today. Just firing this up now. Stanford goes on the main stage at 9:55 AM PT. Troy Taylor at 9:55 and then John Humphreys and Tristan Sinclair will get on at 10:20 AM. Pac-12 Networks will air it.

I’ll add a video of that in here once it gets posted on YouTube and I’ll also re-link relevant content items in here as well as other notes and thoughts that I have. As I have mentioned, I’m in Utah for the Deseret News Marathon that is happening on Monday, but I’m now settled in and should be able to follow along with the action from Las Vegas.

Wow. Happened faster than I thought

The MLB Draft starts later today at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT. Details of how to watch are here. Tommy Troy is expected to be the first Stanford player selected. This draft is big for Stanford. Gonna be interesting to see who gets picked and where they go. I'd expect anyone drafted in the first ten rounds to leave, anyone drafted after that will have something to think about. Especially as things get later and later.

Time to move on with most of the conversation about the next season. And to help Benadd to this.
The MLB Draft is July 9-11 The signing deadline for those drafted out of college and HS is Aug 1 at 2pm PDT.

Steve Young’s new job is working as an assistant girls flag football coach at Menlo School. John Paye is the head coach. Pretty cool.

Adam Gorney shares his thoughts on 2024 4-star WR Kwazi Gilmer here. I don't see Gilmer coming to Stanford as UCLA appears to be the heavy favorite, but still worth dropping this in here since he is still undecided and Stanford made his top six.

I was in Danville today watching Toran Oharran throw to Luke Lavin. Heard Pancer was in the portal but Stanford grabbed a guy from Northwestern who is 93-96 LHP.

I'll add my own write up in here when I get it done, but just so you all know, Benjamin Yurosek was named to the second team and Joshua Karty was named to the first team. The Pac-12 release is here.

Thank god the curse is over. The black trim has been removed from the jerseys. I am now taking the over on 3.5 wins.

Interesting selections by Troy Taylor. I'll add my write up in here when I get it done, but just as a quick heads up.

Couple of roster moves I wanted to make note of. Read about Kaul here. Read about Manley here.

The Pac-12 media poll has been released. Stanford picked 12th. I picked them 9th ahead of Cal, so I did my part, haha 😂. I’ll add my write up in here when I get it done. On my way to Utah right now for my marathon on the 24th. Deseret News Marathon.

Read that here.

Note: Hawkins told me he had made the transition to wide receiver and for a time was listed as a wide receiver on the roster, but now he's listed as a tight end. Hence the slash. I'm going to make sure I get confirmation on what exactly he is come fall camp.

Great article about Julie's world class soccer and mom life and Zach's football and dad life.

In today's NYT obits:

CR Roberts

Of course, it wouldn't be $C without including this:

Roberts did not play in 1957, his senior year, after the Pacific Coast Conference (now the Pac-12) imposed penalties against U.S.C. and other schools for providing illicit financial aid to players.
