Then keep in mind that Erica was ranked 11, Kailee 20, and Kaylee 30 by ESPN coming out of their respective high school classes.  Erica was heavily recruited by Geno.  I do think that they have more upside potential.  I think Erica did in fact do a remarkable job improving her body and skillset over the last summer, and I just think she has been in a bit of a slump the last few games.  If her jumper starts going down more consistently, she is going to be nearly unstoppable.  But that is a big "if."

If Erica continues to improve over the remainder of the season and the off-season, how good do you think she can be her senior year next year?

As you said, there's potential in many of our players, all of them might not become All-Americans, but if each of them improves by 25% by next season and considering we only lose Picknell, Green and Lakhian, all bench players, do you think we can be a top-5 team by the time November rolls around?

Also, it will be interesting since we only lose bench players after this season, how Tara will incorporate next year's freshman class into the rotation, since after next year, we'll be replacing a lot of starters (Erica, Karlie, Bri, Kailee) and we'll need players to step into starting roles in the 2017-18 season.  But that's thinking way ahead, we still have the majority of conference play and the postseason to watch first.
