Message: [QUOTE="WestsideWaltz, post: 2852907, member: 3112"] The addition of Kayla Overbeck, Mariya Moore and Cheyanne Wallace to Minyon Moore, Aliyah Mazyck might make USC a real tournament sleeper contender. Add in freshmen like highly ranked point Desiree Caldwell and two midranked players Jillian Archer and RS Shallexus Aaron and the biggest question is whether Trakh can get them to gel. I agree people are underestimating UCLA because of the departures of Canada and Billings but I also think there are some lingering questions about Close's coaching. I think Drummer and the little used Aly Rosenblum need to step up big and Kennedy Burke has to have her biggest season. I do think that Onyenwere, Horvat, Corsaro and Japrece Dean, taking the place of Canada, makes for an outstanding team on paper. Close has to start again. Overall, I'd still put them ahead of Cal. Gottlieb is even more questionable than Close, IMO. [/QUOTE]
