Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 3974292, member: 11020"] Last year, with so many games cancelled, especially interconference games, it was hard to determine exactly which team had the best chance to win the NC. At least 8 teams was the consensus from across the country that had a chance to take it all, but of course, that was obviously wishful thinking by many of the media types. The PAC 12 was seriously in question because they had not 1 OFC game. The SEC was disappointing with Arkansas and Tennessee making early exits in the tourney. In the ACC, NC state proved that they could beat the big boys, but couldn't beat the little guys. Then, of course in the Big 12, as in the recent past, Baylor stood out, although Vic had Texas making some noise. Much has been made about depth of the 21 recruiting class, with which alot of people think is better than the most recent. SC and UConn took the top 5, but the rest was pretty much evenly distributed across the rest of the country. BUT, what has maybe leveled the playing field ( or court ) is the transfer portal. For the first time, "free agency" was alive in college basketball, and there was upwards of 1000 players entered in the WBB transfer portal. We know that UConn picked up Dorka, but what about the others. Some schools added multiple players, with a couple of the better teams adding 1 or 2. So, my question is, who is the next threat? Which team may have now emerged as a potential contender, or is there a school out there that had never been in the conversation at all, but because of recruiting, coupled with the portal, now is a dark horse to reach the F4. For the past couple of months, UConn, SC, and Stanford was the popular choices to dominate, but is there someone else out there that is ready for prime time, the next team to crack the big time sorority of the elite? Tell me, who is the next threat. [/QUOTE]
