Well Stanford was there 2021 and 2022. Mississippi St was there 2017 and 2018.
ND’s run those 5 years was pretty incredible considering the fact they never had a dominant big during that stretch.Well Stanford was there 2021 and 2022. Mississippi St was there 2017 and 2018.
S. Carolina had 3 straight, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Before that Notre Dame had 5 straight 2011-2015.
And of course UCONN 2011-2022.
I really like Brady’s game. I think she’ll back up Edwards next year and be ready to take the reins the year after.
So 2022 was the anomaly in that 3 FF teams from 2021 made it back. And my point is that the odds are against any team other than SoCar making it back in 2024.Well Stanford was there 2021 and 2022. Mississippi St was there 2017 and 2018.

I'm not sure what everyone's (ok not everyone, but a lot of posters) fascination is with having a "all world big" in order to win a NC. LSU doesn't have one and just won a NC. S. Carolina had 2 pretty good 5's and didn't win this year (cause they couldn't shoot). Stanford has pretty good post play and didn't even get to the FF.
It's funny how Frese seems to slip through the cracks when people are talking about the top coaches. She lost what, four or five players, and still took them to the Elite Eight? Her track record is amazing: nine NCAA tournament berths, six 25+ win seasons, four 30+ win seasons, four Elite Eights, a Final Four appearance and the 2006 National Championship. She, Geno, Dawn, and Kim are the top coaches right now.
Oops—my bad. Of course VanDerveer is an elite coach.
No, she announced that she is coming back next year.
Depends if Amihere leaves..........from what I've seen Cardoso doesn't have the stamina to play an entire game
Not sure the appellation is true, but I saw a video on the Net saying that Paige was already worth 5 mil. She could be worth 10 mil if she maxes out her stay at UConn if this is so.
She doen't have everyone coming back
She has everyone that they need coming back and a bunch coming in to build with. They are losing a couple players but not enough to impact the quality of the team. Like I said Kim is also one of the best to ever coach.
Haven't whipped them yet. lol
Yes. but Raven Johnson, Bree Hall and Carodoza were a great part of their high scoriing bench. Now bring on the #4 player in the Country in Feagin who has had to sit for two years learning from Boston and crew along with Watkins, Cooper, Fulwilley, Kitts, and Johnson who were all McDaGG All Americans or eithere USA wbb medalist, they are in good shape. The fact that Dawn played the bench so heavily, she has less unknowns about her upcoming squad and knows which holes she would need to plug in to keep them elite.
Loved Williams game in the McDonalds All American game, but Rosario will need a little work before she will be effective against many of the existing posts in the college game on the other mid-tier to elite teams.
Yea I think there are several teams that I thought we should be considerably better than, that have suddenly narrowed that gap with key returning 5th year players. It used to be after the recruiting was finalized, you could make good comparisons between teams.
UConn had 2 this year.
My top 12: (South Carolina at #7? I don’t think so!)
