Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3138659, member: 1131"] Kelly Faris, who was around #30? Saniya Chong? Kiah Stokes? And in the old days, there were Kara Wolters / Jennifer Rizzotti / Jamelle Eliot. Probably Rebecca and Nykesha Sales were the only players on that team who WERE Top 20, and they won an NC. You could add Kerry Bascom from the 1991 Final Four team. The fact that it has happened less frequently in recent years is the result of the coaches' ability to recruit a lot of Top 20 players, rather than the fact that they have been unable to develop lesser players. By the way, I think Kyla and Molly would be far more effective players if this were 1993 (or even 1995) and they were among the five best players on the team. Just getting minutes (and therefore feedback and game film) can make a player much better than she shows as a bench player. [/QUOTE]
