Three players from the PAC-12. What do you think? Doesn't mean anything or an advantage?

I like it. The three didn't play on the same team, so they don't bring a shared culture that would have to change and fit in with the rest of the team. The three obviously know each other and know a lot of the players that will be on the PAC-12 teams joining the league.

I don't believe familiarity of each other or the opponents individually offers a big advantage, but it is collectively a positive development. I doubt it was part of the recruiting strategy, but I would think the possibility of it turning out with this scenario was a happy coincidence and the icing on the cake..

I'm hoping for a smooth transition and blending of all the players. The earlier that happens, the better we will be.
 
Given Rice was in town for Carlyle’s visit and they seem to be friends, I expect those two to gel quickly. Idk if they played together growing up or not.
