Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4539610, member: 10709"] 1) Iowa loses Czinano as she's using her COVID year. Stuelke has shown she's coming along, but they're losing a reliable post presence who they could bank on 20 points/game with. O'Grady and Goodman are question marks as Bluder hasn't gone to them as much as I thought she would this season. Can't recall if Martin, Warnock and Marshall will use their COVID year, however they haven't been as reliable as they've been known to be in previous seasons. Davis is a 5th year and won't be returning. 2) Yes, Maryland will have 9 top 100 players, but how many times has that really benefitted them over the last 3 - 4 years? They win the BIG10 and then fizzle out during the tournament. This season has been hit and miss for them as well. And who will be their post presence? Honestly I don't know but this has been an area they've been challenged with this season. 3) Indiana has been competitive on a consistent basis the last few years, without a plethora of top 100 players on their roster. Again, it seems that Moren goes with fit over ranking. Until the season ends, the transfer portal opens in March and teams ramp up for the 2023 season, it's hard to predict how the BIG10 will shake out. I wouldn't discount Indiana however because of their class isn't littered with highly ranked players. Personally the whole ranking thing gets to me because I continue to see more of these players fail to meet expectations while lesser known players catch up and surpass them. It's all marketing in the end to sell tickets. Sometimes it pays off but it seems like it doesn't more often than naught. [/QUOTE]
