The Tn 6-pack won 2 NCs.

Were there still 6 players at Tennessee? I remember some defections.

Yes there were defections, but it was still that class that won 2 NCs.

Why is a Samuelson even getting mentioned? Might as well predict the youngest Ogwumike sister to UConn, too. There's no apparent shortage of scholarships to Stanford that would keep Samuelson from matriculating there.

Wilson, Drummer and Calhoun, or even two of the three, would make for an incredible class of players UConn has a realistic shot of recruiting.

Agreed, Samuelson or Ogwumike would be long shots.

As for the rest, don't forget Westbeld.

The problem with too big classes is that the 'balance' of the team gets thrown off. The first year, the coaching and experienced players are spread too thin trying to mentor the newbies and someone usually gets left behind. And then the following years recruiting gets tougher as you have such a roadblock of returning players. Finally when they graduate you are left replacing all of them with new players so you have a very young team. Five players is tough, more than five is even tougher and most 5+ player classes end up with defections which is never good.
All that being said, it would be hard to turn away some of the players being mentioned.
