Thought it would be fun to do top 15 or 25 lists. Interested to hear what other people see with WCBB as a whole versus just our Lady Vols.

Here's my top 25:

1. UConn
2. Baylor
3. South Carolina
4. Miss St. (looking at schedules for SEC they are my pick to win despite me putting SC ahead of them here)
5. Texas
6. UCLA
7. Notre Dame
8. Louisville
9. Stanford
10. Ohio State
11. Oregon
12. Duke
13. Florida State
14. Maryland
15. Missouri
16. West Virginia
17. Oregon State
18. Tennessee
19. Marquette
20. Texas A&M
21. Miami
22. Cal
23. Arizona State
24. Indiana
25. Kentucky

Ohio State better do well this year. They have one verbals in last two years in recruiting?

Yep, as of now they would only have 7 players next year with 6 of them being returners.

Waterman
Caretti
Calhoun
Chelsea Mitchell (she would be a RS Senior)
Jayaraman (6'2 Freshman, their only one this year)
Cronin

and their lone 2018 commitment.

Waterman, Caretti and Calhoun are all very talented but after that it's a whole lotta of question marks and career bench players.

My guess is they purge the Juco ranks and get one or two late 2018 signees they see during Spring evals/exposure events for HS seniors still looking for their first offers.

We won't be ranked very long with Holly coaching.

What do you feel like you're adding to any conversation when you just repeat something you've said over and over again?

If we finish lower than 10th will be a terrible coaching job by Holly. We have solid point guard play in Westbrooks and Hayes no matter if they are freshmen. This is something we haven't had in a few seasons. Big Power forward in Green which should definitely help the rebounding and second shot attempts we have been giving up.
Key is Davis she needs to be the shooter she was in high school they can't pack in the zone if Davis and Nared hit outside.

I would hold every practice at TBA instead of where they do now. Get their shooting eyes tuned in to the big arena that the games are played in.

15. Missouri


18. Tennessee

Why you think Mizzou ahead of TN?

That could make a difference, but extremely difficult to schedule with all that happens in TBA.

Or we have significant injuries,

or AP voted us 11th,

or Holly finally quits after reading too many posts on VN and it sends the players that love & respect her into a deep depression,

or Jesus could return early in the season,

or POTUS could push the red button,

or really any number of things. 😂
