Message: [QUOTE="jake0414, post: 5058687, member: 10619"] Emily Bessoir opted to forego her extra year of eligibility and won’t return next season. Lina Sontag also “retired” from NCAA D1 WBB and returned to Germany. Both made Germany’s Olympic team though neither played major minutes. Forward Christeen Iwuala transferred to Ole Miss. Those three have been replaced by Juniors Gardiner, Barker and Grad transfer Leger-Walker. I think the replacements constitute an upgrade though Leger-Walker remains a question mark returning from an ACL injury. Incoming UCLA freshmen guards Avary Cain and Elina Aarnisalo (from Finland) have the potential to score consistently from the perimeter. I don’t know how much playing time they will get given the depth of the Bruin roster. As best as I can tell UConn and UCLA unfortunately won’t meet in the non-conference part of the schedule so unless they meet in the NCAA tournament the comparisons asserted above will remain purely speculative. I do hope we get to see the teams play one another this coming season and we can revisit the ‘who’s got the better roster?’ discussion. [/QUOTE]
