Wow. They mention Andrea Aquino several times in the write up for Oregon St. There is no reason to think she will ever play there (medical condition). That's some really ace reporting. :rolleyes:

Glad it wasn't me wondering where this was coming from.

ACC folks: is Roby from Miami a significant transfer?

Paty plus guards may keep TAMU in NCAAs but this is program maybe that has most room to slip.

Roby is a great Offensive board rebounder but not a big scorer. She is a bit slow to get up court leaving others to often have to defend in the paint w/o her. I like her overall but she frequently got in to early foul trouble and that limited her minutes. She seemed unable to adjust her game to stay out of foul trouble.

That being said,if she is coming off the bench she could be a real asset for TAMU

I never thought of WVU as being the 15th best team in the country. We'll see.

For good reason. There are easily 4 or 5 teams in the ACC, PAC-12, BIG TEN, SEC that are better. Then add in the obvious BIG EAST team or two and several from smaller conferences and the fact that they are only the 3rd or 4th best team in their own weak conference.

Okay - is it me or is this a head scratcher to others?

I'm interested in hearing others thoughts as to whether they should be ahead of teams like Arizona and UCLA.
 
Ohio State consistently gets ranked higher than they should be in the preseason likely due to the name brand that the school has. I don’t expect them to perform up to this expectation, especially without Dorka.

I didn't note it in my post but head scratcher might be an understatement. The backcourt is above average but the frontcourt will get destroyed by the like of Hillman, Czinano and Reese/Collins.

Yes we will. For a team that was up and down last season, I'm confused.

Comparing their rosters, it seems that UCLA would have the advantage with transfers and new recruits. You could possibly say the same for Arizona to an extent. I didn't think they added that much to their roster that would explain this ranking.

Thanks for the feedback. I know I had enough coffee this morning when I read it. Just had to be sure. ;)

Top 25 women's college basketball preseason rankings for 2021-22: Why UConn opens at No. 1

Stanford is the reigning champ. South Carolina is No. 1 in the AP Top 25. But with perhaps the deepest roster in program history, UConn opens on top.

Charlie Creme agrees with you…. though the AP Poll voters also rank tOSU ahead of UCLA and Arizona.

That's the fun about polls. Lots of different opinions for interesting debates.

Can the season just start already? I need to have 10 TV screens, mind you, but damn, let's see some college ball!

With UConn, South Carolina and Stanford you can make a case for each of them being #1 in the country. It will be fun watching how thing shakes out during the season.

I think Iowa and Michigan will be better than Oregon. Excited for the season to start

I would have had then reversed. (Or just switch Iowa and Oregon).

Oregon is the dark horse to me this season. If PaoPao is healthy for a full season, their guard play will be unreal. Add in their transfers like Rogers, it's an interesting squad.

Personally, Iowa, Michigan and Oregon are interchangeable. Iowa may have questions about depth due to key season ending injuries. But when you have Clarke and Czniano, that makes up for a lot.

Michigan should be better this year with more height back on the roster. I'm just not sure about their guard play. Dilk struggled here and there, and wasn't with the team during their run in the tournament. Her play will be important this season to help with Brown and Hillmon.
 
“Oregon is the dark horse to me this season. If PaoPao is healthy for a full season, their guard play will be unreal. Add in their transfers like Rogers, it's an interesting squad.”

I have no problem with shuffling these three teams in any order.
Oregon was a sweet 16 team last year and I believe much improved at guard. Front line size and skill is impressive and a lot for most teams to handle. The key to overall success to me resides in improved shooting from last years 35% 3 point and 44.7 % overall.
 
Iowa has to prove they can play more consistent defense before we deserve a top 10 ranking. I say this as an Iowa fan.

Then again, every team has something to prove. That's why we play the games and not crown champions based on preseason clickbait. ;)

Instead we use the preseason clickbait for healthy debates while we "patiently" wait for the season to start.............................let the November countdown begin!
