I'm super proud of this year's team. They went way farther than I thought they could at the start of the year: Pac-12 tournament champs and a close 2nd in the regular season, and Final Four in the NCAA tournament. I would never have predicted that.
We'll lose a lot with the seniors, but next year's team will have talent too. We have a strong incoming freshman class with two McD's AAs, the Wisconsin player of the year, and the best player in Canada. In the sophomore class, Anna Wilson looked like the real thing in the rare game or two when she was healthy, while Carrington and Fingall got good experience this year and will hopefully make the customary big improvement from freshman to sophomore. Brewer could contribute too if healthy. I forget who it was, but one of the sportscasters who got to watch practice remarked on how good Alexa Romano looked there, and quoted Tara having some good words about her, but Tara said it was hard to crack the rotation with the guards we had this year in front of her. Hoping to see her do that this coming year.
