Some next season predictions

[Bills Fan]

With the now required disclaimer regarding injuries to key players, I (along with Tonyc, I assume) predict this team to start a new era of Husky dominance. We have incredible depth in the 1-3 positions, that is far and away superior to any other team; we have an AA at the 4 spot; and while inexperienced at the 5, we have 2 outstanding newbies who will be at least competitive against our likely 2 best competitors (LSU and SC). I don't see one game on the schedule that we will not be favored to win and I think we will run the table.

Playing "little Carnac" and looking two years out, our biggest and hardest loss to replace is Liya-she is somewhat a one-of-a-kind. A true power forward that can do it all; shoot, rebound, and run. I'm hoping Patterson can develop into that type of player and/or ICE can fill that role leaving Jana to be the primary 5 (post) next year. I know there is a running joke on the Boneyard about needed taller players, but I do think he needs to sign a 4/5 in the next class as we seem to be loading up on 1-3's

Yes, we need Jana to succeed if Amari doesn't have a break out season, though I'm betting on Amari. But Jana also needs find the beast on the court who corresponds to the one we've seen roaring on the sidelines. A tandem of Jana and Amari, subbing in for each other and occasionally as twin towers could be way formidable, especially if it frees up Aaliyah Ice and Ayanna to dominate at the 4. We won't be pushovers in the paint.

4 years from now will we have landed the next big? Maybe the Big O? Or will it be Kate Koval? Everywhere else, we're looking to be a tall team, if the reports that Allie is now 6'0" are accurate. With Ayanna, Q and Morgan Cheli at 6'2" and Ice at 6'3 we'll be taller and tougher than most teams we face.
