Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 2066580, member: 1052"] Taking nothing away from Taurasi, whose performance in 2002-2003 was amazing after losing TASK. But with all due respect, these were the HS rankings for the freshmen (HS Class of 2002), per Blue Star: Strother: #1 Wolff: #4 Turner: #8 Corkcett: #13 Getting four of the top fifteen players in one class, even as freshmen, is still quite a bit of talent. The HS Class of 2000, per Blue Star: Taurasi: #2 M. Valley: #21 Battle: #17 Moore: #43 Putting all of those players on the roster, there was still a ton of elite talent, if you are looking at Top 10/Top 20 players - certainly more than Washington has on its current roster. Now, not all Top 10 players are created equally. Some classes (2004) are notoriously deep; other classes (2005) are not. If you want to compare the talent to other years at UConn, one could certainly argue there was not the same level of talent, in terms of elite players (which could be your point, and I apologize if I missed it).
