Watch out for Mara Braun and Amaya Battle for Minnesota! I think they’ll be a better backcourt pair than Sara Scalia and Jasmine Powell was for the Gophers! I’m glad we snagged Tessa Johnson though, she would’ve been their missing piece!

It'll be interesting, this is a big year for Whalen, this will be year 5. Not sure how much longer she will be there if things don't shake up but its been pretty stagnant near the bottom part of the conference. I'm not surprised SC snagged up Johnson though, very good player.

Losing your top in state players don’t help. Imagine Paige Bueckers (UConn) , Molly Mogenson(Creighton), Makenzie Kramer(Lehigh), Taylor Woodson( Michigan), Maya Nnaji(Arizona), Tessa Johnson(South Carolina), NuNu Agara (Stanford), and Annika Stewart (Nebraska) all decided to stay home? Minnesota would likely have been a top 3 team in the country. She’s lost out on some big time recruits over the years and that’s the deal breaker for her IMO because that state is LOADED with talent on a yearly basis. If she wants to keep her job landing 25’ wing Aliyah Crump is imperative.

I'm sure she'd gladly take Gianna Kneepkens and Jenna Johnson as well. May not have been as highly rated coming out of HS, but both had a big impact at Utah last season as Freshmen.

I forgot about Jenna! I knew she attended Wayzata, with Braun and Stewart but I’m not familiar with Kneepkens. What HS did she attend?

Duluth Marshall HS. Was Pac 12 FOY last season.

Final ACC Prediction. I had to adjust based on the unbalanced conference schedules. The Pod with ND, Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse, and Boston College is a much easier road than the Pod with VPI, State, Duke, UVA, and the other school.

1. NC State
2. Louisville
3. Virginia Tech
4. Notre Dame
5. Duke
6. The 3rd Triangle School
7. Miami
8. Georgia Tech
9. Syracuse
10. Virginia
11. Florida State
12. Wake Forest
13. Clemson
14. Boston College
15. Pitt

Oh come on @triaddukefan ! I thought you were feeling really good about your team, couldn't bump them up to #3 or #2?

I guess I still have time to edit my prediction :rolleyes:

One thing is... while I think we can finish #2 or #3 in the league, that means the BY Poll that I submitted would be out of wack. Let's just say I can't see Duke finishing any lower than fifth in the league, and I can't see us being the #3 team in the Triangle portion of the ACC.

Apology? Can't you just feel good about the season your team is having? I just didn't see it for Duke after the way they collapsed last year. Luckily for you I was totally wrong.

Oh, that! Yeah, I was wrong about that too. Good thing I didn't make any predictions about NC State, woulda been wrong about them too. I guess I should just keep my trap shut when it comes to the ACC. :rolleyes:

I picked State to finish #1 without a bit of hesitation. I was sooooo wrong about Florida State :oops:
