Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3128867, member: 1220"] I totally agree. Next year will surely begin to define what can be expected from CW. Being the top rated player in your class does not always translate to maintaining that position at the next level. Nor does a good showing in the McDonalds game. As I remember the top-rated player of that class changed multiple times as the season progressed. To reasonable people, the jury is still out on many of the players in that freshman class. I would agree with LoTrader that proclaiming CW will be an AA next season is quite a reach. A perspective probably based on the belief that Uconn always has potential but hidden All Americans who emerge once the previous class of AA graduates. As to how Uconn will match up in comparison with other teams? Even considering that the WCBB strength level might not be as strong next season, it still does not take into consideration the variable factors that usually pop up each season. For example, transfers, players getting better, etc. We can evaluate teams we are familiar with in respect to the mitigating circumstances of this last season, but not with those we barely know. Also when it comes to foreign recruits we basically know very little, unlike homegrown US high school players. While a lot of teams will actually be weakened via unforeseen circumstances, many will also be stronger and better than expected. My take is that beyond a few of the teams at the top the remainder are a big question mark. [/QUOTE]
