Lots of quotes and cool info.

I think next year will be a even playing field for the race to the Championship. Our roster and bench will be loaded, SC will have no drop off on their roster, Msst will be back but with a shorter bench, Baylor will lose a huge part of their roster, Uconn will struggle at guard. The LV has the greatest chance to her back to the FF if we stay healthy.
I think a lot of things will change for the Lady Vols. We will finally have a strong bench. I think it is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, overall in WBB. A weak bench hurt us last year. Next year these players will push each other to play their best. I think we will be in a great position. Look out Gamecocks the Lady Vols have you in their sights.
Holly will beat Tennessee not the other team but Holly will see to it that we lose when it counts the most.:thud:
They're still freshman. Baylor had 3 of the best recruits come in this year, and it took them time to acclimate to the college game, and they often sat on the bench when the games were tight.
They have the potential to be good, but i don't think we can count on them to be gamechangers from the get go.[/QUOTE
The Baylor recruits you speak of, contributed a lot after January. That is the time when we will need at least two of the recruits to contribute. You do not have to be a game changer to contribute. We still have Green, who can sub for Russell. Hopefully Harris can contribute after being in the program for a year. The recruits are all athletic and appear to have a high basketball IQ. I know there is a learning curve but I believe we will see significant contributions by some of the recruits. History will tell the real story.:good!:

Did you watch any Baylor games ?
While Chou was playing better, in the later part of the season, Landrum played so infrequently that there's talk of her possibily transferring.
Which brings us to Cox. She was AWOL in the NCAAT (outside of the first round game against the #16 seed) and she needs to make a huge jump, going into her sophomore year, if Baylor wants to contend for a NC.
Yep !!!! ^^^^They're still freshman. Baylor had 3 of the best recruits come in this year, and it took them time to acclimate to the college game, and they often sat on the bench when the games were tight.

The difference between Baylor and Tennessee is that when Baylor plays a lesser team, they go straight for the jugular. The game is over in the first half, and that provides opportunity for the bench players to get a lot of playing time. Tennessee plays down to their competition, so you have Russell playing 40 minutes against scrub teams while Harris gets butt splinters.
If that trend continues, Holly will rely on her upperclassmen to pull out these types of games. I don't see her pulling Diamond or Jaime for Rennia unless there is foul trouble.
In some ways, Diamond and MR coming back will slow down the freshmen's growth the first year since they will be playing behind potential All American candidates and generally don't have a lot of end to end blowouts where the freshmen can log big minutes.
I thought you would know the answers. I really wonder if they start this summer? Or will play summer ball with AAU. Sorry if I bothered you.
