Did she shrink?

This is old news, but 3 of these 10 players named (Johnson, Rivers & Feagin) are going to South Carolina to play for Dawn Staley. Needless to say, they can all play, and will get their share of playing time this year. The rich get richer. Baring injury, SC may be FF bound.

Ridiculous the way that 5'10" from a nearly 4 year old ESPN recruiting page will not die. Sloppy journalism.

I guess UConn, Stanford should just concede?

Not only that, but the South Carolina representation and Amari as honorable mention (remember she was only 15 on ESPN) suggests that ESPN was used as the principle source of information, a status they don't deserve. Remember they took forever to show Ayanna Patterson as a Uconn recruit as well.

Very possible. The usual suspects (you know who they are) will be on hand in late March jockeying for position to grab and hoist the trophy at the end of the tournament. UConn, Arizona, Stanford and South Carolina made the final four this year. Do they repeat, or will new participants scratch and claw their way to Minneapolis? The leading teams (the cream) should rise to the top of the national standings by the end of January. After the brackets have been revealed, it should be easy to figure out who wins 5 games.

Barring injury, final four is a lock. They will be in the finals for the next three years, minimum. Don't forget, Boston has 2-3 more years ( probably will only stay through first championship ). Cardoso will have 4-5 years. Player of the year ( incoming frosh ) will have 4 years. On and on the gamecock wagon runs.

UCONN will be an underdog. A great one. But an underdog. It will be fun. They should schedule a UCONN v South Carolina women's game for Madison Square Garden. It would sell out at any price.

I may be in the minority but I sincerely hope not. The dunk has been a part, albeit maybe a small one, of the ruination of the men’s game. Just one man’s opinion.

Underdog? I don't think so! We have the answer now to the inside game of the SC bigs with ONO, DJ, Amari and AE providing defense, rebounding & firepower, eh?
Meanwhile, SC has NO answer to the perimeter shooting of Paige, Caroline and Azzi.
UConn is an overdog!

 

[Mdoggie]

All things being equal, it will come down to execution, IQ and coaching. That being said, UConn is the favorite!

Paige was NPOY with an ankle issue all year apparently, but is repaired and will be full strength. With many different skill sets and a full bench of starters for most other Universities. I like the Huskies to "run the table" this year.

The loss vs. AZ may be a blessing to cause the best players on the planet to listen more intently to the coaching stafff to improve even though, "we won!" It's all about beating "the best of the rest" when it counts the most - Regional finals to the end of the Championship game.

Go Huskies!

As long as UConn wins 6 games, I don't care who wins 5.
