I hope TN plays well every year and gets into the top 5 soon?.............SC will be loaded again.........

TN will have at least 7 high school AA's next year. They will continue to be very good (top 5 or 10). They have depth, talent and size most other schools just can't match. The biggest question that face any loaded team is how well they work together as a team. They're adding at least 3 very good players into a already deep team. Then you have to replace 2 starters (3 if you count Izzy and no one player solidify's the spot this year) into the rotation. Holly will need to figure out who take what role and works well with who. Too much talent is always a better problem than not enough, but it presents it's own set of problems for coaches. Uconn will also be at least 10 deep next year, but he has 4 starters back which may make things a little easier . He will also have to figure out a a rotation that leads to a championship.

2. Diamond. Well Lady Vol fans have waited longer for this time than almost any other..... Super amount of talent.... again I want to wait and see .... of course she can drop 40 on Presbyterian, but what about the big dogs.

DD did pretty good against the ranked teams last year. She put 30 on #3 Duke last year, and 25 in their second meeting. 38 on #10 NC State. So she can score against the good teams too. Now can she lead her team to victory? That's a different question. And we'll have to wait and see.

Diamond reminds me a lot of Angel Mccoughtry, she might be a gunner, but with the way most people talk about the current UT players, who else would you want taking shots outside of Graves? hasn't Middleton, Nard, Dumbar, etc been pretty horrific? From what little i saw of Russell last year, she's more like Kelly Cain, then Parker. Even if UT's plan becomes give the ball to Deshields and get out the way, some of the best UT teams have been with a ball dominate Parker or Holdsclaw.
