Power 5 Conference predictions contest

Thats sad. I get you can't be championship quality in ever sport but at some point you got to aim for building something competitive. Clemson does have a rough history in WBB. Withstanding a period in the 90's, all the coaches since 2005 have not done well at all.

Oh my... I just found this. They extended her this summer.

Clemson University and head women’s basketball coach Amanda Butler have agreed to a contract extension through 2027, the athletic department announced today. The terms of the contract were approved by the Clemson University Board of Trustees Compensation Committee.

Speaking of Clemson. I have a difficult time seeing Amanda Butler keep her job much longer baring some miraculous turn around. Her last three seasons:

2019–20Clemson8–233–1514th
2020–21Clemson12–145–1211thWNIT Second Round
2021–22Clemson10–213–1513th

She signed an extension this summer. Clemson women's basketball coach Amanda Butler signs contract extension

Time will tell based on the extension signing.
 
Look, I’m no Tennessee fan.. in fact, other than Pat Summit, I really can’t stand the LVs.. but are y’all really out here putting a Tennessee team with Jordan Horston, Rickea Jackson, and potential SEC DPOY Tamari Key as 5th best in the league? Whew, tough crowd. Lol.. Those three alone push them into the top 3 IMO. It does take time to gel, but it would be a failure for Harper if they finished anywhere other than in the top 3.

I am back. Will have predictions and analysis for all power 5 conferences next week to beat the release of coaches and media. I am definitely interested in seeing opinions of others.

Oh come on, the PAC12 is reverting back
To the good ole days with Stanford as #1 by a lot and then a blanket over the next 3 with a gap and the next set of 3….

Yes I think so. I feel it the year to cut nets.

Hopefully. You should be the best team in Tennessee this year but I didn’t know they cut the nets for that.:rolleyes:
 
I'll make my next ACC picks after 4pm on Oct 22. Depending on what I see...... I may have to move up a certain unnamed squad.

SC's talent is the creme of the crop but if there were another just as talented team in the SEC On paper it would be Tennessee. Finishing 5th seems unrealistic , unless they have the injury bug again . LSU could also be in the mix the SEC will come down to those 3 .

Looks pretty good. I think UW may have a better season than #11, but otherwise your forecast could definitely pan out (barring injuries, pandemics, etc)

Well to be honest, i partly picked them last out of spite. Plus im rooting for Udub not to be in last place, it would give me a reason to take my husly gear out of storage.

Hey you had your chance. Football team started out 4-0 and had us locals fooled that they were pretty good. Then reality set in, their defense is atrocious and can't stop anybody.

The new HC Natasha Adair has made some big moves already: former McD's AA Treasure Hunt and top 20 recruit Morasha Wiggins formerly at UNC transferred in, as did a post who had solid stats as a sophomore for George Washington. Got her PG from Delaware who would have been their leading returning scorer to join her in Tempe as well as a couple of her Delaware signees.

Sounds like a good start. It was imperative to get some transfers. At one point I looked at their roster and I think they only had 6 players listed. Obviously has to be more now. Last year they were extremely offensively challenged and they lost their only real scoring threat (Loville) and one of their better all around players (Hanson) to the portal.

I am rooting for y'all to do well this but with the limited depth this year its going to be tough.

I'm really excited about that Big 10 race, there are some very good teams near the top that are extremely capable.

It’s going to be a long year, I think there’s a chance that we’ll be better than expected. But who knows. It will be nice to see the freshmen and Chyna Cornwell get a lot of minutes after she was overlooked last year by the man who had no idea what he was doing.

But I’m thankful I have LSU’s season to look forward too also.
