Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2661354, member: 26"] I was going to post a bunch of comments, but you pretty much said mostly what I was going to say. I do think it's important to note that Harris (who seems to have had an "average" season), was a star coming off the bench for Team USA this past summer. Frankly I expected huge things from her this year. Cooper is a former top recruit from Tennessee and Henderson is a legit top 10 kid, Jackson had some nice moments this year (I think she's more of a wing)... Point being they seem to be strong at the guard position, but weaker at the forward/center spots. I think you are right - 10-15. I'm curious that you don't think Tenn will be better than SC next season - Tenn beat SC twice without Wilson, but Tenn loses Russell and Nared - their 2 leading scorers, most consistent, and best players. I do think Davis will be really good for Tenn, and Westbrook and Hayes should also start, as well as Meme Jackson, but after that (and off the bench)... JUCO transfer Green? Harris? Kushkutuah? One of the freshmen coming in? Lots of question marks - more for off the bench. I also think Tenn should be in the 10-15 range, but should probably start the season in the 15-20 range given what they lose. However I expect them to be higher by end of season... We will see for sure... Back to the OP - Dawn stays. I think there's a greater chance that Tonya becomes the next HC at UVA than Dawn, and I don't think Tonya is that serious a contender unless their top choices turn them down... Side note - why has UVA not been able to be competitive? They were strong in the 90's under Ryan, but for the last 12 or so years she was there, they were pretty awful. They ended 20-13 this season under Boyle, but other than that have been a disappointment for the most part. What "could" a new coach realistically achieve there given the lack of success that Boyle especially had? [/QUOTE]
