The Cardinal returned at the end of August after a 10-day trip where they played in Spain and Greece in late August. Stanford and it's rival, the Cal Bears, have one more Pac-12 season before moving to the ACC with SMU. The Cardinal will be led this season by Spencer Jones, who was an all-Pac-12 forward a year ago and will be key in the Cardinal potentially moving into the top echelon of the Pac-12.

Topics of discussion include:

• Bringing the trip to France and Greece to where it is a springboard for the beginning of spring practice
• What to accomplish in the 10 extra practices that are a result of the trip
• Spencer Jones' scoring ability and rebounding prowess
• The effects of losing five transfers from last year's team

And much more!
