Message: [QUOTE="SECbbfan24, post: 4707110, member: 9360"] UCONN has the best roster in the country next year (provided they stay healthy) and should be the clear favorite to win with Paige, Fudd and Edwards. I think you have another group of teams fairly capable of getting to a final four and competing for a title but still no one can match UCONN's roster if they remain intact entering NCAA's. Yes the loss of Alfay is very unfortunate but she isn't going to be what keeps UCONN from winning it all. As far as LSU, realistically they are probably 3rd or 4th in their conference. Take off the celebrity blinders people are putting with Hailey Van Lith/Morrow who are inefficient players who play no defense, SC/TN have better overall rosters and X's O's coaching than LSU who lucked out a lot last year with their mini run in the NCAAT. You could make a strong case even Miss St/Ole Miss sneaking in at that 3rd spot potentially with what they have. I still anticipate the gap between SC and TN with the rest of the SEC will be significant. LSU is probably a 2nd round/sweet 16 team at best next season. No one can replace Morris/Ladazhia who made the team. I'll be interested if Cori can get UCLA to the promise land (Final four). This is her opportunity to finally get it done with the addition of Betts and lots of great young talents. Also don't sleep on Utah who has been on the brink of getting to that next level. [/QUOTE]
