If Kansas center Bryce Foster is a race car, then, as offensive line coach Daryl Agpalsa puts it, the restrictor plates are now off. As of Friday’s practice, the 13th overall of KU’s fall training camp, it’s full speed ahead for Foster.

The Big 12 Conference’s coaches don’t expect the Kansas volleyball program to take a step back in its first season under head coach Matt Ulmer. KU was picked to finish second in the league’s preseason coaches' poll on Wednesday, matching its position from last year’s final conference standings, despite a significant offseason roster overhaul under its new coaching staff.
