I don't often agree with you but this pretty close to what I would pick. I might move Stanford down a bit.

I have a hard time arguing with your top six except to note that the gap between #1 and #2 is huge and the gap between #2 and #3 is pretty big too. And I wouldn't be surprised to see #3 and #4 flip.

After top six thinking UofL maybe a bit higher and maybe Tx should be in there.

I would switch Tennessee with Maryland. Also I am not sure about FSU or OSU. I think FSU loses several seniors and doesn't Oregon State lose Hamblin?

Please remind me--who are the Duke recruits and those coming back from injury. Do you have good guards?

What if Duke changes coaches?........Will these recruits stay or they free to transfer to another school?

That seems like it would logical, but I don't think it works that way. But someone like JS or others who know the NCAA rules way better than I do would be better equipped to answer that...

I think in cases where the HC is fired and there is a lot of controversy surrounding a program, individuals can petition for a waiver of the NCAA rules for sitting out. IIRC Calhoun, who left Duke in December or January, is trying to petition for just that saying it was a "fear for her safety" if she stayed.. Haven't heard anything new on that so i'm unsure what the end result is...

ANYONE, but I think we go back to beating the rest and struggling against the elite aka Notre Dame and Uconn. We will have enough talent to compete with Tenn/ South Carolina but I think we still lose to Notre dame because of coaching although I expect the games will be far more competitive with the magnitude of guards from both teams.

Duke will not change coaches before they get here, so I don't really know how to answer your question.

To Alexrgct- I disagree with no. 12. I would put Notre Dame there.

I agree with your top 3. I think the next six are neck and neck and could fall in any order, then Texas or Ohio St for the 10th spot.

Salvadores just finished a good season (over 14 ppg) playing in the Spanish Pro league..... playing with and against full grown women as opposed to high school girls. She's definitely will be college ready from day #1..... look forward to seeing her in the fall.

If DD was still at UNC they would beat Fsu and Maryland handily. And there's A LOT more talent around her in Knoxville. TN will be able to beat a lot of teams just because of DD presence alone. Say whatever you want, but she will be a First Team AA.

FSU only loses Meghan Conwright-a starter.

OSU only loses one senior as well. Hamblin is a junior and will be back next season. I think the OSU senior was Ali Gipson. Everyone else they return and add Katie McWilliams who I hear is quite good.

If DD were at UNC..... they probably would be still playing. She's definitely a 1st teamer........ I did enjoy watching her play last season, and I look forward to seeing her play next year.

Don't forget Kiana Holland, Duke transfer, she can shoot the ball.
