I'm with BC - all three bring back almost all of their talent from last year, and all three have winning coaches, but SCar and UConn have slightly better frosh classes than we do, and we lost a more critical player (Kiana Williams) than either of them, so it's not unreasonable to give them both a slight edge. My view is UCLA and Arizona got slighted a bit, OSU got the benefit of the doubt, and Baylor is *way* overranked given all the unknowns. Also interesting (and correct, IMHO) that Kim and LSU are no where to be seen. My initial perception was that she'd likely pick up right where she left off in Baton Rouge, but her recruiting and transfer pool success has been limited so far, so it'll be interesting to see how quickly she can climb back up the ranks.
