Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3279923, member: 4946"] I don't have in-depth enough knowledge of the other teams around the country to come up with an exact number, but 20s sounds appropriate to me. I think making the Sweet 16 is a reasonable target for this Notre Dame team. Basically everyone on the team is an unknown quantity except Sniezek and maybe Prohaska. Even with Prohaska, we didn't see if she has offensive skills because they weren't needed last year. Peoples and Brunelle are freshman and for as much as they played last year so are Gilbert and Cosgrove, essentially. Walker's coming off an injury. The only real experience in the post is Vaughn, who has only been a decent backup to this point. So yeah, I would think somewhere in the 20s based on talent and respect for Coach McGraw's abilities but I have no idea what to expect when the games actually start. It could be ugly, especially at the start. The one thing I have confidence in is that this group is tight-knit, so chemistry should play in ND's favor. But the roster is very thin and very inexperienced. [/QUOTE]
