Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2676482, member: 5089"] That would be nice, but as you say I am pessimistic at this point. I wasn't before Stevens decided to bolt. And I was certainly wrong about them two years ago. However, several things happened to make that team far better than it looked going in. One, KLS and Collier became Wade Trophy finalists. Two, Gabby Williams was probably the best player in the nation during her junior year, and she made up for several deficiencies with her smarts, versatility, athleticism, and all-around game. Throw in a very good senior season from Chong and you have a terrific team. If we look at next season's team, where are the dramatic improvements going to come from? We all hope Megan Walker is #1 on the list. We'll see. Coombs barely played though I've always liked her skills. Even if Christyn Williams plays well as a freshmen can she be a difference-maker rather than a nice accompanying piece? Camara wasn't good/healthy enough this past year to get into any game before it was well decided. In fact, she only played 110 minutes the entire season. They're talented enough to be top-10, maybe challenge top-5. I just don't see them as a contender against the top 3-4 teams. [/QUOTE]
