Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4833148, member: 26"] I would say UCONN's dominance is not only safe now, but safe for the next 4 years. Yeah I know injuries can derail any team, and we've seen that happen to us in spades over the past 3 years. Even this year we lost Azzi, Jana, and Ayanna for the entire season and most doubt Caroline will be back (and if she does, how much REALLY could she help). But the next 2 games will tell us where we stand, and frankly, I think we run the tables in the BE. And even if we don't, we will be at the top of the BE at the end of the year. ASSUMING that UCONN stays health (and that's a big "if"), there is no team in the BE now, or over the next 4 years, that will come close. There is no team that comes close to the talent we have. And next year - let's say we lose Aubrey, Nika, and Aaliyah - we get as NEW players (including injured players coming back) Azzi, Ayanna, Jana, (maybe) Caroline, Morgan, and Allie. Possibly S. Strong. There is zero chance any big east teams could realistically challenge us. Could we lose a game here or there in the BE? Maybe. But if healthy, next season will be a romp. And given the strong class we are off to for the following season (Fisher and to a lesser extent Malou-Mamel), it just ain't changing any time soon in the BE. [/QUOTE]
