She obviously made her mark at A&M and proved herself to be a solid player, but she's proving herself to be an exceptional one at Mississippi State. Her ceiling is higher than most due to her athleticism and playing with so much energy. Vic obviously doesn't get all (or most) credit for Howard transforming into an All-American candidate, but his ability to take under ranked players and turn them into exceptional players is pretty remarkable. Quick list includes: Victoria Vivians-wasn't a McDonald's AA, ranked in the 20-30 range. Ended up being a 1st Team AA and top 10 WNBA draft pick. Morgan William-very lightly recruited due to her size, ended up being a standout PG for Mississippi State and was huge in leading them to back to back title games. McCowan-was ranked in the 40-50 range, was a major project as a freshman, still a role player as a sophomore. Blossomed into an All-American and was the best player in the NCAA tournament last year. Now is a POY candidate and a favorite to be the #1 pick in the WNBA draft. This year too all of Bibby, Holmes and Danberry have made big strides from 7-8 months ago. Not sure I see Mississippi State going anywhere with a pair of 6-5 bigs on the roster next year along with Rickea Jackson coming in. [/QUOTE]
