University of Kansas Women's Volleyball Jayhawk Signee Makes U.S. Junior National Team
From Haltom City, Texas, and ranked No. 39 on PrepVolleyball's Senior Aces, Havili signed with the Jayhawks in November. Havili led her 17U TAV Club to the National Championship last fall, earning Tournament MVP honors in the process under the direction of club coach Ping Cao. Havili is in prime position to inherit the reins from the 2013 Big 12 Setter of the Year, departed senior Erin McNorton.
(Ed. Note: Setter will be the most important thing for Kansas Volleyball this fall. They lost senior setter Erin McNorton, who rarely subbed out, and was one of the best in the Big 12.)

Parity: We've seen the P-word thrown around for years. But let's be frank, it was always arguable whether it really existed in our sport. Sure, you'd have an uprising here and there -- the development of Oregon State, the stunning run of Fresno State, seeing Kent State and Stony Brook reach Omaha. But this year we got overrun by it.

Royals may consider Morales to aid their struggling offense - CBSSports.com
Kansas City is weighing a run at Morales, according to sources, and considering the way their offense is going -- they are last in the American League in runs, OPS, home runs and slugging percentage -- maybe that shouldn't be such a surprise. But before the Royals could get serious about the free agent first baseman/DH, they'd probably have to move a big salary first in trade, possibly Billy Butler.

VIDEO: Japanese League Pitcher Throws Mile High Eephus Pitch - SportsPickle | SportsPickle
Ed. Note: Pretty cool pitch, but probably wasn't a strike - in my opinion. You can't just look at the glove... it's where the ball crosses the plate in relation to the batter, not where the catcher catches it.
I read that by 1984, the government will have tracking devices on all of us.
