That's brobdingnagian getting Anna back for another season.
Our 1 and 2 positions are our relative weakness (compared to our front court) going into next year, but having Wilson back will alleviate that somewhat and decrease the pressure on van Gytenbeek, Brown and Harriel to produce right away. Losing Kiana's production will be difficult to replace, but losing both her and Wilson would have left a lot of questions in our backcourt.
I would still have UConn and South Carolina ahead of us because of their insane amounts of talent at every position, but with Anna still in the lineup, we have a better chance of defending against Bueckers/Fudd/Westbrook/Williams or Henderson/Cooke/Johnson/Rivers (two top-5 guard recruits Staley is bringing in), though Cooke torched us in the national semis.
