Message: [QUOTE="nomdoux, post: 4278557, member: 11245"] The standard bearer is always good for whatever the sport, business, activity, etc. because they elevate performance/achievement & push the boundary, thereby forcing their competitors to improve/evolve in order to keep up. For years it was Tennessee, then UConn. Now South Carolina may be wresting this moniker at the very pinnacle of WCB. Doesn't mean UConn is finished or no longer an elite program-- just perhaps no longer THE standard bearer for the sport. I expect SC to match or exceed UConn's success over the next 5 years. Hope I'm wrong but just stating honestly. UConn's 11 titles may never be matched, but that historical dominance doesn't impact present day, as Dawn Staley highlighted in her pregame presser. Kids evaluate today & project the future when making decisions-- not the past. [/QUOTE]
