hopefully now all the non UConn folks will finally stop with the "UConn wins because they get all of the best players" crap!!!!

Seriously, the only way they'll stop with that is if UConn stops winning. They (the detractors) have never been ones to let facts stand in their way.

I'd put money on that class of 5 at Baylor won't last longer than 1 year, intact. That is a lot of talent, with a lot of talent ahead of them.

Sorry EastTx., just my humble opinion. That being said, that is one heck of a class. Best wishes.

This coming from a Louisville fan ????? :rolleyes:

Super classes are tough to keep together, moreso now with the increase in transfers. Baylor and Texas have done well for themselves this cycle, as has FSU. If they stay together remains to be seen, but these squads have positioned themselves to win a lot of games the next few years.

she's already a well know commodity in Jersey Shore circles even though she lives in Staten Island.........considered by many to be one of the best if not the best east coast player in her class........
 
All this concern about height. Quickness, speed, outside shooting are key elements in winning. Tack on ball handling and yourve got something you can call a competitive team. Stop worrying about having alot of height if you dont have the rest. UConns defense has proven they can control height.

True but margin of error decreases without some height (especially on the defensive end). That is why depth is so important and why I am smiling. :D

If Kim doesn't schedule a strong OOC schedule next season every Baylor fan is going to be PO'd. I hope she adds Tennessee to the list.

Remember, they (other teams) need to "want" to play Baylor too. the OOC schedule this year is not horrible. They do play Kentucky, UCLA, and Stanford. UConn is already on their list for 2018-19 OOC.

She's considered the best player in her class period.

Well she should be quite a player if she sticks with it...........rankings at this age don't mean a whole lot as there are so many variables that can effect a player between now and graduation.........I've met her Dad a couple of times...........nice guy who's pretty serious about her training activities.............

BTW ESPN has Chang rated as a three star recruit with a score of 89 and the 35th rated guard in the 2019 class...........another case where there is a big disparity among talent evaluators........
 
With Egbo committing to Baylor, that makes 5. Texas has 4. Texas sure does know how to keep it's talent. And what are Mulkey & Aston telling them that Gary Blair, the better of the 3, isn't telling them. Or it a desire to compete in the Big 12 rather than the SEC. Idk. What I do know is that the Baylor vs Texas rivalry is fun to watch. I'm excited to see the post play specifically in these two games of the Big 12 play Kalani Brown (best back to basket post in the country), Dekeiya Cohen (can't wait see to her get playing time), Lauren Cox (sophomore jump?) vs Rellah Boothe (trash talker), Jatarie White (now eligible), Joyner (can't play 1st half season, will be amped to play.)

"It's not a new sheriff in town yet!" -Kim Mulkey after the Baylor win last year (lol) -- I can't wait for the season to start!

Hopefully they will too and the reason being that Baylor wins a few NCs...with a lot of the best talent.

Tenn will be loaded with 1's, 2's, & 3's next year and as of now very little size and strength. Tennessee used to be noted for beating up opponents in the paint with waves of height and muscle euphemistically referred to as "rebounding and defense". I'm actually looking forward to Tennessee as a finesse style team.

You had me right up to the last sentence...”as a finesse style team” as led by a creatively challenged offense minded head coach? So how can you be looking forward to that? I am half-heartedly not trying to be snarky. In my 6 years of watching her lead that program, she is completely baffled by coordinating a cohesive offensive plan. Part of me cringes that all we will see is Dribble, dribble, dribble oops the shot clock is at 3, better heave up a shot...while I am actually rooting for Russell and Nared for their heart and commitment to the program, I saddingly see it ending very badly.

I think Russell will be a AA.

Not really, we expect nothing better than the E8.

ETT you know I usually agree with these observations, however as a member of the BU forum myself, the 2 comments you’ve made that the strong BU faithful will expect Kim to have a strong OOC is not true nor is the expectation of E8. In the former, the whole board was over the top protective of this past seasons pathetic OOC and in the latter it was absolutely distraught over not making it to Dallas. They were not calling for Kim to shape up or ship out but they are definitely frustrated at the lack of in recent years given the talent she has brought in. So even losing Beatrice, they still expect a FF this year and Kalani a season 1st team with strong consideration for POY.

Adía Barnes is slowly getting recruiting rolling for the Wildcats. I expect her to be in the upper echelon of PAC-12 soon.
Expand ...

Don't forget they'll have UW transfer Aarion McDonald available to play in '18-'19 after redshirting this year, with 3 years of eligibility left. She could be huge for them, flashed plenty of potential during her Fr. season.


As a side note, I had no idea Arizona's coaching staff had so many ties to UW. Barnes, Sunny Smallwood and Morgan Valley were all assistant coaches at one time or another there and grad student manager Alexus Atchley played at UW. Barnes, Valley and Atchley were all in Seattle at the same time, Smallwood was there quite a few years earlier.

This is a great article about Barnes's recruiting success that mentions Morgan Valley and also quotes Sue Bird about her former Storm teammate:
Adia Barnes' recruiting prowess positions Arizona Wildcats for Pac-12 breakthrough
