For well over a decade, the 1998 TASSK Force has been considered the best ever. It produced three final fours, two national championships (including an undefeated 39-0 season in 2001-02), the 2002 NPOY award, a Lieberman winner, two names on the Huskies of Honor wall, and four top six picks in the WNBA draft (#1 Sue Bird, #2 Swin Cash, #4 Asjha Jones, and #6 Tamika Williams). Certainly, those achievements are the calling cards of an historically great class. Adding Diana Taurasi in 2000 may have made the 1998 class better in 2001 and 2002 (and Shea and Svet were integral to the Huskies' 2000 NC as well), but that's no reason to impugn the accomplishments of everyone but Keirsten Walters.
Having said all of that, I don't think it's a stretch that the 2012 class could be even better.
After all, the 2012 recruiting class has already accomplished the following:
So, given all of that, I've started a poll. Of the 1998 and 2012 recruiting classes, which do you think will be the best when all is said and done...and why?

After all, the 2012 recruiting class has already accomplished the following:
- Three Final Four appearances.
- Three national championships, including a perfect 40-0 season in 2014.
- Two names already guaranteed to be on the Huskies of Honor wall, and Morgan Tuck appears for all the world to be headed in that direction as well.
- The NPOY winner in 2014 and 2015, as well as a Lieberman winner.
- Stewie and Mo could easily finish in the top two of the 2016 WNBA draft, and Morgan's draft stock can only improve.
