Espn preseason UConn number 1

[jbc021592]

Pretty surprised ND is #10. Miles is supposed to get surgery soon. Let’s hope she can make a good recovery. ND definitely needs at least 1 post player and 1 shooter in the portal. Let’s see what they can do.
Not surprised UCONN is #1. They actually have a shot to go undefeated (if everyone is healthy).
WCBB is going to be alive and well this coming year!!

ND should be way higher with who they have returning and who else is coming in for them.

More waste from Mr. Creme.
Hundreds of players in the Portal with no idea who will wind up where.

 

[kidfrom360]

Is it confirmed that Zia, Bree and LA are leaving?

Beal yes. Cooke and LA not officially.

This happens in every sport. Relax.

And just think, only 20 days or so until the first bracketology.

I don’t understand why people get so upset over this “too early ranking”. It’s an article. ESPN does it every year or at least the last several. It’s just a quick look into the next season. And Creme clearly states in the article that (a) it’s early and (b) transfers will alter standings as the off season continues.

People have to b*tch about something.

Actually, LSU's biggest luck came when Utah choked that game away against them.

I'm not sure I buy that SC had their "worst" game. They did what they do often: destroyed their opponent on the boards and shot poorly. They just lost a close game unlike their close wins against Stanford, UConn, Ole Miss, and UCLA.

I hear you but if Brea Beal has even an average game by her standards, SC wins. She probably had the worst game of her career against Iowa. Boston had a pretty subpar game too.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Duh. Assuming we stay healthy we should be number 1 going into next year. No one should have expected anything different given our proven roster let alone who we add. The biggest question will be health.

For me the biggest question is Paige. I want to see the confident, “ I am unstoppable Paige“ we saw her freshman season. Just imagine unstoppable Paige and Caitlin going at it in the NC game, that would be something to see. I hope it happens!

 

[DrummerDee]

I wonder how South Carolina will look with Boston, cooke, Beal, and amihere leaving

Cooke, Beal and Amihere have not posted anywhere that they have declared yet, and their 48 hours was up last night at 11pm. They could have, but haven't announced yet either way.

 

[DrummerDee]

Beal yes. Cooke and LA not officially.

Where have you seen a Beal confirmation?

 

[DrummerDee]

I believe Saxton is also a senior...but, both Amihere and Saxton have one more year of eligibility (COVID Year).

Saxton does not have any eligibility left.

 

[Forego]

Until portal entries and destinations are firmed up, player injuries are announced, and last minute foreign players sign on, it is ridiculous to place any value in this list. Be patient everyone. Missy’s podcast will be coming out in five or six months with a lot more credibility.

 

[hoopsnloops32]

Where have you seen a Beal confirmation?

She said so before the final four, that she doesn't like school and is leaving. Brea Beal develops into a top WNBA prospect as South Carolina career winds down in March Madness

 

[NC28604]

I agree with the caveat. That being said, we do look pretty great next year. If we pick up one player like Lou but a post,,,,,,,

 

[MSGRET]

You can say that about, UConn, Indiana, Utah and VT, they all had a bad game. That's basketball, sometimes you have a bad day and win and sometimes you don't.

Beal yes. Cooke and LA not officially.

Brea, LA and Cook all have entered the 2023 WNBA mock draft.

I don't see how this article proves that the players listed in it have declared for the draft. For example, it includes Elizabeth Kitley, who has announced that she will be returning to Virginia Tech next year.

 

[JellyBean]

Oh yeah!! Pre-season #1!!

I just showed that their names are in the 2023 WNBA mock draft list. I don't need to prove it since I don't make their decisions..

I think Lines.com just puts all the possible names in their mock draft list no verification.

They recruit very good and have a solid nucleus coming back. Playing so many players this year might not have helped them this year but those players who played will have a seamless transition next season.

Johnson, Hall, and Cardoso will be starters for sure, assuming all the seniors leave. The other two starting spots are up for grabs imo. Maybe Fulwiley will grab the other guard spot, she’s a great offensive player. I could actually see them being a bit better offensively next year but they’re gonna be nowhere near as good defensively.

 

[Rowdy831]

I think Stanford will be better next year. Jones didn't look like she really was enjoying BB this year and the team as a whole looked like they needed a full time leader. Brink should give them that and they have a ton of talent on the bench waiting to get their chance. Iowa will struggle next year and be lucky to be a top 10 team with out the people they are losing. The two playing the extra year are good players but not quick enough to defend the top athletes. LSU will be the team to beat in the south and I like UCONN up north.
