UCLA continues to stockpile talent

[Vowelguy]

Bruins not seeming like a 1-hit wonder.
Last year's blockbuster class is being fortified with another good one --
#18 Ashley Hearn (TX 6'4 C) verballed today, to go with #24 Kennedy Burke (CA 6'1 SG)

That gives them 6 top 25 players over 2 classes. And I would expect this to snowball, as younger players get drawn to being part of that program.

Seems like a top 10 club very soon. And Stanford's run in the PAC likely coming to an end VERY soon.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Texas is also loading up.

 

[Wbbfan1]

I'm thinking Texas overtakes Baylor and UCLA overtakes Stanford as Champions of their respective conferences. May not happen this year, but next year probable

I wonder how hard Baylor and Texas were recruiting Hearn as she's 11th Ranked player.

[rvwsleep]

[Sonny44]

And nobody overtakes UCONN.

it looks like a lot of great athletes, do any of them have an outside shot ?

UCLA is going to be good tho and Texas....Ms Atkins alone is going to make Texas a top 10 team and I am uber excited to see UCLA's freshman class next year!

Well USC did win 2 national titles in WCBB..... and one of the top women's players of all-time is an alumna.......so they havent been chopped liver in the past. Perhaps they will return to glory and challenge UCLA and Stanford at the top of the Pac 12

Atkins is a real difference maker. I'm looking forward to watching her play.

UT (the real one in Austin) is headed for big things. They will be the team to beat in the Big 12.

Pretty sure they meant USC-East (South Carolina). After all, they are an SEC school too.

Pretty sure Triad knows this - he just wanted to emphasize that by the football-centric definition,
USC means Southern Cal, just as UT means Texas.

So UC means Cincinnati? ;^)

UC doesn't mean anything since neither Cincinnati, nor Connecticut, nor and other "C" has
achieved the level of sustained football excellence over the years that would warrant the
succinct identification of UC.

The difference is that now it's not just those team's fans saying it.

 

[Paul1969]

Good for them. Would love to see Stanford get more consistent competition.

When the other schools I mentioned were on the National scene...it wasn't only their fans saying that either....same outcome.

Uh...that was then, this is now. The times they are a changin, as Kibitzer pointed out a day or two ago.

She released a a top 9 in early March, and A&M was the only in-state school listed:

I have to agree....everyone is getting better including Tenn...who I think will continue its dominance in the SEC...the USC-Tenn games will be good just like the games against the other teams were when they were on the National scene...but how about the job Ms. Close is doing in recruiting at UCLA! I guarantee one of her pitches is come to UCLA to take help loosen the strangle hold Standford has on the PAC-12....its time for a new sheriff in town...similar to Dawn Staley's lol

What does that make Fairfield University?

Not in the final four for the last 6 years and yet none of the other SEC teams have overtaken Tennessee ? Sounds like a mediocre conference to me.
