Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4478623, member: 9844"] You could be right regarding the most talent ridden team overall. I also see South Carolina and Stanford slipping back while we advance so starting the year at #1 is also probable. Further I think we will be significantly better than any other team at positions 1-4. I expect us to be good but not great at the 5, and in my opinion South Carolina and Stanford will still be great there. Losing Boston and Jones will hurt both teams quite a bit but, South Carolina didn't have just the best starting C, they had the best backup too IMO. Cardosa puts up monster numbers in the playing time she gets, I believe her PER is even higher than Boston's, and Brink might be the only C in the country better than Cardosa, and of course Stanford has Betts coming back for her sophomore year as the nation's number 1 recruit in her class. So we have a ton of talent and probably stack up with anyone in overall talent next year, but some of the best teams will probably have better C play than we do, even though I think we will be pretty good too. Ice and Jana and Amari for that matter have plenty of talent, but none of them have meaning-full experience and they are all untested for the most part. They may be great by the time they are juniors and seniors, but when we need to throw them into the fire right away, I would be happy with pretty good next year. If we get that with the rest of the positions stacked i think we are in great shape. [/QUOTE]
